| Did not handle the fish enough to weigh or measure, but this is my personal best brown trout (for now...) |
We braved the cold to fish Lake Michigan today. Tried a variety of techniques. Trolling would have been by far the most successful technique, but I am bored by trolling, so we went and started casting jigs and gulp.
We had a great time today, landing well over 15 fish. For a little while we were getting hits every minute or so.
Besides the jigs and gulp, we also caught fish dead sticking spawn sacs over the side of the boat.
After no fewer than 8 trips down to Lake Michigan without catching a fish, I am pretty confident I am starting to learn what is necessary to be successful. It turns out, you can't learn a body of water this immense in 8 trips.
I now realize that Tim's trout looks substantially larger than mine...Tim dropped the ball with photography today :(

| Tim caught a lot of brownies today, and while this one did not fight as much as it should have, it was a beautiful fish. |

| You may ask yourself...what on earth is this picture... It is Tim and Eric Haajata with what can only be described as a big ass gizzard shad. |
Looks like you had fun! Great catches!
