I thought the low pressure associated with the tropical system might produce a better day than it did. I guess that means the storm is further away than predicted - less windy and less cloudy also - a good thing. Our usual trolling techniques only managed 4 fish in 5 hours, a bit disappointing since we've been averaging close to 2 fish an hour since July. Michigan Stinger Spoons produced 3 of the 4 fish, with the fourth on a small Xrap splashed orange.
It was a nice day on the water and I was marking tons and tons of fish and bait at our trolling depth (20 ft) on the Lowrance. We usually catch more fish when we're running this spread of lures right through them. Most of the fish and bait were in the upper reaches of Flat Creek and Balus Creek - not so narrow that we can't turn the boat around trolling 4-6 lures 100 feet back, but close. Most fish were suspended in 60-90 feet of water.
