Another trip to Rufus Woods. Pulled into the launch area around 8:00 and no other rigs were there. Headed up to the lower pens, hit rough water in the area of the launch below the pens and it was white-caps the rest of the way. We spent a couple hours working the lower pens area, and only two fish caught. Both by Cindy. I didn't get a hit! Waves were rough enough the bowmount trolling motor was coming out of the water on some of them. Boat control was difficult. One other boat was tied up above the pens on the rope, they were using bait with no success.. We came back down lake to the Pump #1 area (smaller white-caps in this area), and fished awhile. We were able to pick up several, but the bite was extremely slow. I finally caught 5 tripps and Cindy ended up catching 10-12. We kept 3 and the others were released in good form
The three weighed in at 5#, 3.# 7oz,, & 3# The pic was taken behind a jetty in a wind break, thus the calm water. Marked fish deep (30-70 ft), and the ones we caught were in 8-20 feet. A super slow presentation was needed today. We threw spoons, jigs and flies, but the jigs were the producers. We did see one boat trolling and caught a trout in the area we were fishing.
All in all a rough day on the water, but enjoyable.
Stay safe out there
