Fishing Report 11.15.16

[Scott McKee]

Trolled and cast the east side for a few hours this afternoon with Carrie and super dog number dope, Aurora. Aurora isn't much for trolling except when the boat snacks get busted out. She really likes casting though. When chucking lures on my boat all you hear is pitter, pitter, pitter, stop ...splash, pitter, pitter, pitter, stop... splash... As she races back and forth from the bow to the stern. She contently watches for follows as we gun and retrieve our colored sticks. One nice 40" was kind enough to hammer one of my colored sticks (Perchbait in frog) after a long pause. That was the only action we had. The water temp was 51.5 with 6 to 10 feet of visibility. Out with the Mad Scientist tomorrow night. Go catch a fish you think is the bottom...

Jim and I fished from about 10am to 6:15pm.

Scott, was that you we saw leaving a Grand Island drift just down from the Launch Club about 4:30 and head toward the Huntleigh?

Nice day to be out, but the fishing was looking pretty dismal for us. Jim had a couple of follows casting the shallows behind Motor Island and next to Grand Island. We were trolling upstream south of Frog Island in about 20 fow when it was getting dark and I brought my Niagara Walleye Jr. Perchbait in to clean the weeds. We were talking about quitting soon. Had to grab the headlamp so I could see the line counter. I could not see through the mist on the inside of the line counter lens (the reel got dunked earlier while working on a tangle) so I had to guess at the amount of line I let out. I must have guessed right or got lucky because I no sooner sat down after putting the rod in the holder and I heard my favorite fishing tune. Nice healthy 37" swam away strong. First muskie caught on the boat this year.

We saw Tom Page at the launch getting ready to go out for walleye.
