Thread: Thursday's Fishing

Well I got to Stony Creek around 9:30 AM. The Bay I launch at was calm and crystal clear. The first thing I noticed was a school of bait fish gliding by above the sand a few feet from shore. I took this for a good sign that there still would be fish in shallow. The Water temp was 52 in the bay and after launching I fished for about 30 min with no luck. Next I covered about 1/2 the lake looking for signs of fish on my Lowrance, but found nothing but empty water. Not finding any fish I took the opportunity to take in the sights of a calm autumn day on the water. I had my DSLR with me so I took quite a few pictures. Getting back to fishing I made my way to the south dam. A few odd fish shown on the finder as I hit the 20 foot range. Then when I got east of the damn I think I saw every fish in the lake on my screen. It seems as though everything that swam was concentrated from east of the damn to the fishing pier from 2 FOW all the way down to the bottom. I definitely learned where the fish go in this lake when the water turns cold in the fall. No matter however; I could not buy a bite. I fished horizontal, vertical, drifting, you name it. Not a bite. However, I say it was a good day. A Very beautiful day, and until about 3 PM, when another kayaker showed up, I had the lake entirely to myself (was pretty surreal actually).

Well, I put a small video together from the photos I took along the way. Hope you like...
