Well i am going OUT OF MY FRICKEN MIND. this is what i was talking about in one of my other posts.. We do not need a up and down temp winter, not good for ice making. So with this crappy weather i took my canoe out on the cong today and was greeted by white caps and blowing wind not to good for a canoe. I had to fight my way out and found a spot that was not to bad, turned the vexilar on and found some fish in 7 ft with sporadic weeds growing,then put down a 13 fishing mini rattling rap in perch pattern and got some perch to play nice. I got 7 perch smallest was 6" and the biggest was 10 and a half inches with a big egg belly. all fish were set free. The wind calmed down around 3:45 and i was off the lake by 5:25pm. i got to the lake around 10:15 am and had to wait till the wind let up some to be able to get out. the wind just blew me backwards on my first attempt so i waited a bit and paddled like hell and made it to the spot i wanted to fish.I marked fish but they spooked when i put down my offering had to fish it above the weeds very slow to get them to play. I know seems like a lot of work just to get 7 perch but as i said I AM GOING OUT OF MY MIND WITH NO ICE ON THE LAKES.
