Thread: Calm day in Michigan

Well, calmer then the last week. After the winds of the last week 10-15 mph winds with gusts 25-30 was a break. Been itching to spend a day on the water. The winds had calmed overnight with the temps dipping. Frost on the windows of the truck this morning when we headed out When we launched there was even skim ice in the back bays. Water temps were a solid 40........didn't have high hopes. We fished from 8:30-4 with a jig and plastics under a float couple feet down in 5-6 ft of water with weed structure close to deeper basins. The wind kicked up about 8:31, go figure...But, it turned out to be a decent day all things considered. We boated 5 large-mouth bass, 2 pike and 8 crappie (one of which was a throwback). At least the sun was shining that took the edge off the cold. Even helped the water temp creep up to 42!!! Not as young as I used to be I guess, that breeze wore me out....Warmer less windy days are around the corner.
