Finally, made it out to the light pole. Hiked from the SW corner to the light pole. Based on the number of steps recorded by my watch, it was about 3 miles each way. Got out there about noon and drilled a hole 50 yards off the dike in 14.5 FOW, another 75 yards from the dike in 17 FOW and a third 100 yards out in 20 FOW. About the time I started fishing the first hole, my wife called and asked if I could be home by 2:30. With only an hour to fish, I split the time between the three holes. No fish caught, but I did see fish on the flasher in all three locations. Had a very active fish in the middle hole. Several times it appeared to approach the lure only to stop. Looked like I was lifting perch off the bottom at the 20 FOW location. Again, no takers. Made it home by the promised 2:30.
Seems kinda of silly to pull a sled six miles only to fish for an hour, but it was a very enjoyable day. One day next week, I'll do it again, but spend the day fishing. While not catching anything today, it was very encouraging to see fish on the flasher. With a little more time, I think I could have caught something. Shucks, all I've got to do is leave my phone home.
