October 23 Report

[Ken Jackson]

Water temps are in the 42 to 47 degree range now and it has been raw out there. Tough to stay out all day without taking a break.

Some excellent fish are still moving, but feeding windows are somewhat small. There is a distinct bite starting around 11 am for an hour or so, and a briefer one around late afternoon close to 4 pm.

Had 4 fish in the last two trips. Jeff and Ryan popped their cherries and both got 38 inchers. Ken got a 42.5 and his buddy Ralph got a handsome 48 incher. Their friend Jim also got his first, a 37 incher with Mike kaminski in Mike's boat. All were on suckers.

Really crappy weather in the next 48 hours coming. Hopefully the fish will reward all of us.
