Wednesday, May 14 Evening Trip

Carly and I went out for a quick three hour trip this evening.  With the east wind and colder temperatures, the fish were NOT active and they were NOT shallow.  The key was working a slow presentation in about 8 feet of water near spawning areas.

There were a lot of people out working the piers, but they are only catching small males.  If you want bigger fish, they are still deep.

The water temperature was up to 57 degrees so I thought some active fish might be interested in a rattletrap or spinnerbait, but they weren't.  After a wasted hour, we switched tactics.

Our success came on a wacky rigged YUM brand worm for Carly and a Kalin's Grub on an 8th ounce jig for me.

We ended our last 1.5 hours of fishing with 8 bass and a nice little pike.
