WINDY. That wasn't in the plans for today! 20-30mph I suppose until the afternoon. Sure made fishing a grind/work out Caught about a dozen smallies, one LMB and a couple stripers. Sight fishing was pretty much shot. Even after the winds went down the water was so churned up one couldn't see all that far. Got a couple smallies on drop shots in some protected coves.
The smallies are pretty much done with the spawn as far as I could tell. When I could see the bottom in areas they "should" be at I didn't see any beds. I did see some fry out and about in bushes in the water so they are leaving the beds and venturing out. As far as the LMB I have no idea where they are hiding at. I caught one little one today. I didn't see a single one back in any of the coves that I could see in with the winds/mucky water.
I "had" the biggest smallie to date on the line today. It's new name is half in the net... That is as far as he/she made it. Madi went to scoop him up and her reach ended a pinch short and she lifted hitting him mid body and out the hook went. At least a 4 pounder. Very nice one. Oh well to be caught another day.
