Generally, if I don't update this blog for a while, it probably means that not much is going on here on the big lake. There have been scattered reports of scattered fish, but nothing to write home, or make a report about even. I had heard that Joey D. a young shorefishing legend here in town caught 5 fish in one night sometime around the 20th. This is unconfirmed however because I didn't get it first hand. The regs. Freddie, Billy, Randy and the other curmudgeons have not been doing that great for the last couple of weeks. At most they've gotten a fish here and there. The weather has been not exactly steady which may have played a factor. Many locals and Illinois boys fished on Thanksgiving morning, but I believe it was more in an attempt to get away than to fish determinedly.
As with most times here on the lake, you have to be there when they turn on. Many fish are being seen cruising, but that doesn't mean they are going to bite. And while we're on the subject of seeing fish, I've had reports of some Crusty Kings still swimming in the Pike along with a few Browns and Rainbows. Neither Browns nor Rainbows have made any kind of substantial run this year and we're running out of time.
My advice is the same old rhetoric: put in your time, try the old reliable small tube under a bobber, be there when the switch is thrown, and you may get some action.
I'm happy to see that Roy Kaye is back motoring his Ranger up and down the harbor corridor. Roy had to sit out most of the season due to a powerhead injury to his Mercury. We were all worried about him when he was absent this fall. Incidentally, on Saturday (the 26th) he lost 2 and caught one, so there are fish out there. Later, Bob
