Today I got out after the Easter gathering at the in-laws. I was targeting bass and pike, although I did not expect much in the way of pike. But, I was quite surprised by the pike bite, they were very aggressive. The fishing was very good in the shallow back water areas, but of course I wanted to see what was around the next corner.
I moved to the dredge areas on the lake, which caused me to struggle with the bass bite. I think the biggest reason for my lack of fish here was the dingy water. Heavy winds the last couple of days had really stirred up the water and consequently reduced its clarity.
