Spent the whole day on the water today. Fished with Steve and Dan Murphy, two great guys who wanted to try the "old skool" thing. I rowed and they cast. Went pretty well until that north wind kicked in to high gear this afternoon. We had one musky blow up on a surface bait in shallow water this afternoon. Other than that it was all pike and a couple nice bruiser smallmouth. Sure hoping the warmup we're expecting gets these fish going. I can almost pick out locations that I know the fish are hanging out in but for some reason (could be the extended crumby weather) they just don't want to come out and play. Will be back on the job Saturday so we'll see if things improve a bit by then.
