Fished with Dusty on sat am and met at the glenora ferry launch along with a dozen other boats. A bit of ice ont he tarmac but after a bit of salt the boat was in the water and we headed east straight up the middle and stopped to set up directly north of keiths. Started setting up first line and still free spooling when my rod tip starts bouncing, engaged the spool and sure enough fish on. The lure would of been floating on top or very close to it and i had only let out about 60 ft when the fish hit. Fish was just under 10 lbs. The wind was blowing pretty good and waves were building. worked all the way down to just before pryners. On that first pass landed 3 fish. All of them were a shad shy of 10 lbs. Decided to move into the bay to find calmer waters to fish. Set up at shermans and fished there for a while with nothing then decided to head towards the cement plant and troll all the way back to the launch again with out much luck.
Would of liked to stayed east but also dont enjoy waves coming over transom/bow of boat
The last 2 fish came on white reef runners both 200 ft back and trolling speed was 1.3-1.7. I think that will probably be it (unless someone has a free seat
) for the softwater. Now time to break out the ice fishing stuff, refill some green propane bottles, sharpen some hooks and give everything the once over in anticipation of the hardwater season
