winding down
Hi Folks, Ran the boat yesterday afternoon with clients chasing pike with the spin gear. Still pretty pleasant outside as the cool down down look to arrive until early this week. The water temperature was 54 to 55 degrees. Good steady wind from the southwest that pushed the boat around a bit. We worked the deep edges of weed beds that plunged off into deeper water. We cast a variety of large double bladed spinner baits as well as large spinners in fire tiger and bright colors (dirty water). No pike but we managed to catch a nice smallmouth bass and several very large yellow belly perch. Lots of casting. I am off to chase lake trout this morning. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
