My son and I got out to the lake yesterday. In the water about 7:30 and had the boat out and back on the trailer before noon. Started out about 40 deg's. As the morning progressed the sun finally came out and the day warmed up to the low 60's We decided to head across the lake about 4 miles. First two miles were heavy fog and we had to use the GPS/Nav to head in the correct direction. About half way there it cleared so we could at least see the shore. Water temp was 53 deg. Water was clear/good visibility. We trolled silver/pink speedy shiner and red/gold Needle Fish at 4' and 8'. I added a Gulp chartreuse trout worm to the hook of the Needle Fish. We also used ProCure Garlic Gel. I don't know if this stuff attracts fish but it at least masks whatever gaso or other smell might come with our handling the lures.
Managed to put three in the boat and lost one. Of course the one we lost was a monster! (LOL - not really, we never saw it).
There might be a chance to get out again on the 31st. If not, this will wrap up my 2017 fishing season.
