Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Was only out for 4+ hours with a later start...fished till 2:30pm.  For the most part the wind was howling with 2-3 foot waves.  Fished with a drift sock and got a few on every drift.  We ended up with 18 fish with several in the 3 and 4lb range and a lot of 2.5, hardly any short fish.  Considering the very muddy water and windy conditions, I think we did pretty darn good...all things considered. Fished with GoldenGhost and had a really nice time.  It's days like yesterday that I'm glad to be a part of GLB so I can meet such nice guys.  :)  I would have had a great day with Gary even if we only caught a few. 

Anyway, it was a very color specific and depth specific kind of day.  He fished brighter colors and outfished me for a while 2 to 1.  Being not proud...I was happy to accept some of his tubes so I could catch up.  ;)  We caught them in a small window: 7-8.5 FOW.  They wouldn't take a dropshot and nothing on moving baits either.  It was a slow tube day.  I'm sure if the wind was less, we'd have caught more.  Maybe next time I should throw out 2 drift socks and slow the boat down, we might have done better.  Plus we did try fishing shallower for a bit without a bite.  Once we got out deeper, the bite was steadier.  I hope it clears up by the time of the MadWags Memorial.
