I like to look back at old posts to see how I did at certain times of the year, basically my online fishing log.
2/25:
Went out with Lakefan around 6:00. Went straight to ballentine where I heard good reports. No marks at all, but not unusual if fishing shallow. Pulled baits for about an hour with no signs of life on the fish finder or lines. Pulled up and cruised around Pine Island, nothing there. Went to the towers and marked some good fish. Caught a 23" right away. Ended up getting another 23 and a short. Lost a really nice one, just kept ripping line every time he came within 20’ of the boat, second big fish I lost this year. Size 1/0 gamagatsu circle hook just pulled out. Expected better considering the fish finder. Cold front just passed so maybe that slowed them down. Water was 52, pretty good western breeze.
3/1
Started in Jakes with no fish. Went to the towers right at sunset and caught another 23" fish right away. Got one more 21" keeper and 4 shorts. Left around 11, got pretty cold.
