We had the family up to Sabaskong for Memorial Day weekend. We were on the water for a few hours Fri afternoon and had great success in total. The wind was from the S so we concentrated on the boulder / rip-rap shorelines that were getting hit with wind. The first few spots we would catch or 3 right away, then have to move on. The last spot was the most productive and was when the wind really started kicking from the S. Boat control was difficult, but the fish were willing. The largest of that day was a 21". Spinners started out more productive than jigs, then everything was on jigs.

Sat the family went out in Sabaskong and caught many more on jigs in 6-10 ft with the largest being 22". Storms rolled through with lightning, so we cut the day short. Still plenty of fish for a big fry that night.

Sunday we pitched shorelines for a couple hours in the early afteroon, but everything was dead. A beautiful day, though, to be on the water. Later in the day, once the wind picked back up, we tried some jigs in deeper water. It appears the fish slid off after the previous days storms. We caught a bunch in 18-22 feet, including a PB 30.5". Judging from the grayish color, that fish had been deep for a while.

All in all, it definately seemed there were windows throughout the day. We only spent at the most a few hours at a time in between projects at the cabin. The fish always were active in bunches, though, and usually just prior to a weather change such as an incoming storm or a wind shift.

Sure was fun to get back out for baitfish season. Next trip will be for muskies!
