A Day on the Water

Portage Lake Bible Camp was host Shiver on The River steelhead camp.  I fished jigs on spinning tackle under a bobber.  Had to leave the dam at 5:00Pm to make it to supper on time and Sunday didn't get on the water till after 12:00 noon so 3 short days.  Friday Afternoon tried jigs down at the lower end of the pool and hooked 3 fish on 3 different color jigs.  Landed a steelhead and a skipper.  Saturday was crowded and I could only get in as the last man at the bottom of the hole where I quickly hooked...

November 15, fished my favorite Lake Erie connected spot. Have been finding fish in dead lily pads. 2/0 Dive Banger got hit and missed by 2 bass. 1/0 White Pike Jiggy got 2 Pike until it was bit off way up the bite leader on the hook set. 2/0 White Great Lakes Jiggy got 3 more pike and a small bass. 5 Pike total each in a different size category.          

Finally got a rainy cloudy day to try for Musky in this Dry sunny fall weather.  Lake Hudson was the better choice for the South West wind forecast.  I fished 4 shorelines good for Musky and stayed with the White 5/0 Dive Banger because the small bass were liking it.  I had 5 hits it but only one stayed on. Switched to a 3/0 White one tried some new shorelines and got more bass hits but only 2 about 13 inches stayed on. 3/0 and 5/0 Dive Bangers Towards evening I reworked  a favorite Musky shoreline.  Now pods of Bluegills...

Took the big family Grumman Canoe out for Eddie's first fishing trip.  Wind was difficult, worked a mile of sheltered shoreline, no fish.  Back in the cattail islands we got a bass on  Rebel Popper and a couple of pike on a 2/0 White Dive Banger.
