hey teenfisher,
sorry to your dad (ouch)
There's a four letter word for this trip RAIN it was constant and never ending.
we only had 2 day's of sunshine and one of them the wind was steady 30mph
and gusting to 40mph. we've never fished less in a 9 day trip less than 25
total hours on the water one day we put the boat in and pulled it out 4 times
never being on the water 30 minutes before it would start pouring again.
Tuesday the 8th was the worst local radio said they had 2 inches that day
we never saw the water it rained constant from when we got up till we went to bed.
It must have been 5+ inches of rain when we were up so the water was high
everywhere we went. the water temps were from 74 to 71 when we first got up and were down to 64 to 61 when we left. there was good weed growth
everywhere. all we ended up catching were a few northern some smallies
all caught on musky baits and some largemouth bobber fishing with minnows.
we thru everything in the box fished the TFF butternut north fork south fork
and a couple of other lakes and never saw a musky the northern and smallies
were caught on the north fork and the large mouth were caught on blockhouse at least we only have 5 weeks till are 2 week trip.
