Was out to fish with The Total Package on Fri and Sat.
We fished Fri Afternoon in the deep trench at Thompsons where we marked a ton of fish, but only had one strike on a Power Dive Minnow and at 75', the fish shook loose and was gone. 0 for 1.
Fished until 1630 with no further success, there were lots of fish. Water temp was 48.7 degs.
Sat AM, we headed east of the ferry, where the wind was blowing almost due East and with 3 footers, tough fishing up wind. We began near the Keith Shoal and trolled east dodging the MANY boats out on the water.
Marking the occasional pod of fish, we marked one as we were opposite the point, east of the ferry, on the county side, with the large lawn and gazebo, passing by the pod, the outer rod went off and we were able to land a nice 5.77 lb approx 24" on a Blue/Silver/Orange 3/4 oz Power Dive Minnow.
We trolled single lines from the ferry to Q4 for a while and then headed to the Light house to see what we could see. Trolled from the light house to past Keith Shoal with no results. Water temp at Keith Shoal was 51.7 degs.
Motored back to Thompsons and in the trench, we marked a FEW fish,tried over the on the West Shore with the odd fish appearing, trolling downwind we pasted the tranch again and were astounded not to see all the fish we had seen on Fri. Guess they're movin on.......
Too bad we didn't do better, but the sun came out and the fishing was pleasant - not that cold Nov fishing we're dressed for.
Off the water at 1600, with Holy Toledo just ahead of us.
They didn't catch anything on Sat., Fri they landed a 9 lber east of the ferry.
As I mentioned, LOTS of boats out on Sat and everyone was coping with the winds and the waves.
Back out next weekend for the Kingscourt Derby - C U on the water - CH 72 on the radio.
