Tough Fishing

[LEfriend]

Don't feel bad, many are in same boat. Not proud of it, but I've been out three times and yet to catch one fish. Now I don't profess to be a skipper nine, but a bad fisherman I ain't! Looks now like I will go most of may without one. Wife has a house rented at hilton head starting fri for all the kids and grandkids. (She seemed to think we should do something besides fish to celebrate 40th wedding anniversary. Imagine that!). I lobbied for during the mayfly hatch but was out voted. When I do get back after memorial day and finally catch one, it will be one expensive walleye considering all spent to date this spring on boat, maintenance, dock, insurance.......

I talked alot of guys over the weekend. Many with lite coolers. I fished Thurs and Fri and showed improvement of the bite on Saturday afternoon. Had some drifts of 4 to 5 a drift. Buddy had 19 in first 3 drifts on the spot I fished Thurs and Fri morning and nothing would bite then. Saturday about noon it was busy and was still good when I left at about 3.Had to bring to 4 oz bouncers up 3 to 4 cranks with a soft tip action. They wanted purples and golds, even a watermelon blade. Most fish were on long harness behind the weight. They didnt want a cast and retrieve for us. Buddy looked like he was doing some jigging also. Mixed bag of White Perch, Walleye and some yellows and only a handful of sheeps. Yep it was tough for most but some trollers did better.
