Well fishin' was mighty slow!! Hooked up one little Rainbow about 6" and a hand full of Smallies and Perch about the same size.
Everybody I talked to was having about the same kind of day.
I did hook into a super big fish and played it for about a minute, my trolling motor died and I was messing with it bout the time I got going again my pole started doubling over I thought I had bottom so I was just starting to straight line it when I realized it was a fish, man that thing had some shoulders, it was a very heavy fish, I cut the motor and was getting ready for a long battle, he shook his head a few times and started swimming towards the boat I started reeling as fast as I could he changed his mind turned back made a run and just spit the hook, I WAS BUMMED!! He must of read my mind when I started thinking about the Taxidermist,
Water level wasn't bad, my guess it's down about 40'.........
Fish finder was on the blink so I didn't get the temp.
only place to launch is on the west side.
Two rigs drove out to close to the water and they sunk in the mud, they were buried!! gonna take some real effort to get them out, I'll try to post some pics a little later.
I did see about 20 dead Rainbows in about a 1 mile strech in the narrows, some fairly big ones too, gonna call F&G tomorrow to see if they know whats up with that.
Going to give it another try next week, I have always done very well out there in the fall, just hoping it was an off day today.
