Fishing with Bob, Mike, and Grant 7/6/16

Took Bob Braid, his brother, Mike, and his nephew, Grant, up to Canada on Wednesday. I had high hopes, since the weather and lake conditions were optimal for a good bite, but I was sadly mistaken, when in the first 1/2 hour our crawler harnesses were not enticing the marks below the boat.  4 days earlier, with similar conditions, we could not keep the boards in the water within minutes of setting the meat out there.  Hmmmm....that was a head scratcher. 

We switched up to Bandits, and moved to another area up there. Within a short time, we caught a nice 25 incher, so I thought it would improve, but again, I was wrong. We caught another 17 1/2 inch fish, and lost some big fish half way to the boat....but, who knows if they were big fish, or just 16 inchers coming in sideways...and, some shorts, but that was it for keepers. We didn't even get any junk fish.

I changed things up from time to time, to see if I could improve the catch, but nothing I tried seemed to work. It was frustrating to say the least. I hate just watching boards do nothing. Where are the sheepshead when you need them for entertainment? lol

They told me that they still had a good time, and that it was relaxing to be out there, so they want to come back another time to try again.

That made me happy, because I always feel really bad when the results are less than stellar. :(

So, there wasn't much to post on that one....sigh
