MAR 7-8-9 LAKERSMASH

steverowbotham · March 10, 2013

If there's one thing I enjoy about working a nightshift, it has to be my ability to fish on pretty much any given day. It has turned me into a kind of "fair weather" fisherman, but that has its perks too. The past 3 days, everything looked right to get into some lakers. Warmer temps, higher pressure and late season are a great recipe for a good day on the water. I couldnt ask for more. Over the 3 days of fishing, I spent time with a bunch of good people, some of whom I hadn't seen for years. Even better than good company, is good fishing and we certainly enjoyed that. I put over 40 lakers on the ice over the 3 day period including one big bruiser. We fished anywhere from 61 - 85 ft of water and never had to travel any deeper. X-Zone swammers and lipless crankbaits were the choice baits as the lakers were all wailing on schools of herring and smelt. I'm -4 lipless crankbaits on the week as I had a few good fish take them on me, one around 15lbs right at the hole too. Anyways, on to the fish porn...
