Well.
Just this minute got up from the fishing trip last night. And I'm feeling that old familliar pain in both shoulders this morning from the whippen extravaganza. Had a couple curve balls thrown at us even before the trip began, that some of you may want to take note of.
My usual route taking the Detroit exit off of 69 to the Marrysville exit, has been closed because of construction. We had to go through Port Huron and jump on 29 to get to Marine City. Not a major problem but one I was unsure of, being a route I've never taken before. It actually seemed easier and faster.
And even though the Marine City boat launch ramp was almost full of vehicles last night, very few went downriver like we did. Of course I don't know how anbody else did except us, and that was about what I would say was only fair, success wise. They seemed either to be hitting short or engulfing the whole pencil plug, there was no inbetween.
The water temp was 51 degrees and the visability pretty good. Our best depth was 21.6 feet. Lots of these little brown weed and old leaf goobers floating downriver in the water column catching on your line and lures. Oh ya, and a decent size log one of my buddys hooked up early. Man, do they ever fight nice in that current. Our final tally was 5 for 11 when we called her quits around 2:00am, with a couple real dandys in the mix. Wonder Bread/Black Head and Silver/Black/Orange Scale was the hot lures. Pictures to fallow.
