Ifishskis Jr. and I are meeting a friend for a day of ski fishing on the Chip this coming Saturday. As we do not own a boat right now, any time we can go is a good one, and we are VERY appreciative of the offers to go out.

The weather conditions for Saturday look to make for a tough bite...at least in my experiences. Partly sunny, upper 80's and dewpoints in the upper 60's to low 70's with a light south wind. I have only fished the Chip a handful of times, and 2X we have had these conditions and saw and caught ZERO.

We'll keep the channels to our backs and thoroughly fish the water columns with various baits to see if the fish are active on anything in particular.

Can anybody offer up any tips they have found to work on hot, humid, flat days on the Chip? We're going to be out at sunrise but I honestly don't know if I'll physically be able to fish until sunset.

Thanks and good fishing!
