Talked my brother into fishing yesterday instead of golfing. We fished all day at Cda and the chains. Unfiortunately for him he didn't mamage any fish. He got the first bite of the day when a decent pike blew up on a topm water bait about 20 feet from the boat, but it managed to spit the hook shortly after that. I got 4 pike and a 4lb largemouth on the day. Pike were 26-26-28- and 31". Not a bad day btu it's looking like I'm not going to get that big numbers day this year. Water temps were 68-71 degrees. Fish were holding pretty tight to the weed lines. I got them to take a variety of baits, catching fish on inliner spinner, spinner baits, and frogs. We are getting some fish but it doesn't seem like they are really in that fattening up mode for winter yet. Hopefully that will start any day now.
