Comments
It was New Year’s Eve and it was an all-day fishing day with Jay, and Jake and Zack joined us around 1230 PM. We had hoped to put a hurting on the pike, but the bite never really materialized. We did catch a few, but for an all day fishing outing it was not very successful.
The pan fish on the other hand were very willing to bite. Both the size and the quantity of the bluegills and the crappies were very good. The pan fish bait of choice today was a Little Cecil tipped with a wax worm. I did try tipping the Cecil with plastic, but had absolutely no luck with that combination.
Observations:
We had a good time fishing today, and except for two fishermen early in the morning we had the place to ourselves.
