Went out fri from turtle point

[MBLMIKE]

It was very difficult friday 4/24/09 I was in that pack of boats in frt of DB the wind was a biggggg !!!!! factor most of the boats I saw were drifting with socks and still moving very fast I ended up anchoring to stay slow . did manage one walleye and a sheepshead I left the pack of boats because others were drifting into me and almost collided into me several times, you might get a second sock to slow you down more but remember in this cold water you want to try to jig as vertical as possible so you cant be moving to fast the fish wont chase a bait very far or fast and are more interested in spawning than eating but a hungry fish will grab a snack if dropped in frt of his nose, if not off instinct alone . also fish with a big minnow and a stinger hook drop it to the bottom and lift several inches but not real fast change the distance off the bottom till you see what works when a fish picks up the bait you may feel a tap or you will just feel an increase in the weight of your jig so set the hook on any different feel . the fellas I watched yankin on there rods were most likely using a balde bait these spawing fish are attracted by the vibration and when they get too close there snaged by one of the two trebble hooks on that lure , I did not see very many nets in the water so your results and mine were common I would have gone out further but only have a 16.5 starcraft 60 hp johnson and a 9.9 kicker white with red and blue stripe on the side gps antenae on frt so it was a little too rough for me you may have seen me on the inside of the pack in the 8 - 12 of water range I did catch the one as soon as I slowed down by anchoring so I know speed was a factor . I hope this helps let me know if you seen me and I hope it was not you that almost hit me I apologize to any one out there for anchoring up hope your nt but I wanted to try something different and it did work .
