Todays fishing report

[tinbanger]

Headed out at 6:30 am with Pikeie for a couple hours of fishing before he started work .

Kinda miserable with the blowing snow not so much cold as constant snow in everything .(Face ,bags , flasher ,coffee etc)

 

Pretty slow with only 2 perch (dinks) and 1/2 doz smelt .

 

Dropped him at home picked up the portable hut and drove to shanty bay to meet up with my younger son who had gone ahead with a friend and his step dad.

 

Parked and headed down hill to the lake trying not to get run over by the portable home made hut.

Just as I got out to them they had a hit ,few seconds of antcipation ( small whitie ??) nope a herring.

 

Things looked promising but that was about it for the day expcept one more small herring.

Did have a visit from the CO ( first of the year ) glad to see them out

 

Fished a varity of lures (spreaders ,Bad Boys , spoons )

Herrings on the spreader and a Forage minnow

 

Kids had fun , fresh air ,good conversation = lots of fun !

Thanks for the report. Where's Shanty Bay? Any pics?

North side of Kempenfelt bay about 1/2 way .First time I've fished there

 

Nothing pic worthy.

 

Could be bothered digging out the camera.

Thanks fer the update, on Shanty Bay.

The wind and cold have that effect, of making most anglers bog down in one spot.
