So I fished yesterday from 7am-3 with an hour break at a restaurant in Wyandotte. Lots of boats, I guess some were pre-fishing for a tournie this weekend. Fishing was slow and tapered off from there.......we had one in the boat in 30 seconds, and it was the last. Saw a few being picked up, but it was very hit or miss.
Water temp was ranging from 37.8-41, depending on whether or not you were below the Trenton water discharge or North to Wyandotte. Its still a few degrees short of triggering the feeding frenzy of the spawn, so maybe another week or two before its ready.
We jigged 3/4 oz jigs of varying colors, using live bait, finn-s plastics, and the famed Wyandotte Worm, just a brown plastic paddle worm bait. That is the killer once its on there btw..
Anyway, we'll be back on Thursday to see how its progressing. Marked lots of fish, but it was strange.......many were suspended at 8ft, so I'm not sure if they were walleyes or what, it was strange. the smallies are still in the lake, and not even close to the silver bass run, so I don't know what they were......but they weren't hungry whatever they were.
Oh yea........we marked what was most likely a sturgeon up at US Steel......it was a HUGE mark on the screen at the bottom, and it was moving, so it was a fish, and the biggest mark I've ever seen on radar. They are seen at the Fighting Island BASF property all the time, across the river from US Steel, so they are in the area.
I'm going to try blue gill fishing my lake this week, as it looks like I'm rained out of working on my exterior job, so maybe I can get a few gills. The freezer is almost empty!
. We're just looking for wall hangers this week, the big slobs are in the river now, but reports say few and far between but they are in now.
