Anyone fish today? Was expecting a parking lot full at the launch. Almost empty. Got on the water around 630 with tony and my brother, were throwing back eyes within a hour. Tony caught a mixed bag of bass, yellows, eyes, drum and this fella. Good humor getting him in the net. Notice the black spot on his side, no idea what thats about.
Finally got over the cold Ive had so we decided to head out last night, saw the storm on the north shore so decided against exploring the west shoals and headed to maple bay where ive had some success jigging.Blue skies. Dropped our lines in and the storm had done a nice 180 and in about 2 min, my buddy got to experience the quick condition changes Ive been telling him about and the storm was right on top of us.Threw some ponchos on and floored it for the shore, had to drive pasy my house again and motored at my top speed of 22mph right through it to the west end of frenchmans. Ive been pickin up 2-3 nice eyes a trip but none of the huge success you guys have been having, this is my first may fishing for eyes. Decided to just do what worked for me last year,trolling. Picked up about 7 huge white perch and sunnies until I moved to around 20 fow. It was gorgeous out one of the most vivd rainbows Ive ever seen. Trolling was the key picked up 4 nice ones on 4 passes a 20,19,18,17. One of the best sunsets Ive seen too. Now that June is coming hopefully ill start doing better as this is what I have experience in. My new boat comes next week then Ill be heading east to troll and stayin west to bass fish. Any advice on what stickbaits are worth trying would be rgeat. I have planers and snap weights to go along with the bottom bouncers and harnesses Ive been running.We had a blast out there. Just visited my gfs camp which is on henderson harbor on the big lake, doing as much research as possible to try to go up and get some monster eyes up there with the new boat as well as the trout/salmon. Going to be a great summer!Ive learned more on this site in 2 years then I did in the 20 before that living on Oneida because I never had anyone to teach me.Thanks guys!
