| 19" STX |
Conditions: 54 degrees, light S wind, mostly sunny, water level is really low.
My Fish Trap doesn't fit in the Kia Soul but my long rods do, so I went to the Grumpy Old Man Hole to try a little open water fishing. I didn't expect to catch anything, but you never know at the GOMH. I fished the SW side with a blue/silver STX and didn't see any signs of life. I then fished the area with a bluegill D & M Piranha. Still nothing. Then I tried a chartreuse/white STX and a fish swiped and missed. I let it sit for about 5 seconds then twitched it a couple of times and BAM! Fish On! A 19" toothy bullhead is my first open water fish of the year on February 27th; The earliest first open water fish since moving North in 2003. I fished a few more lures on the SW side and then tried the NE side where there wasn't very much open water. Nothing on the NE side.
Fishing Season ends tomorrow for pike, bass, and walleye, so I may give the GOMH one last shot tomorrow, if it gets above freezing. I might go ice fishing tomorrow as well.
