| 1st Fish of 2026 |
32-40℉, PC, 2-4mph S
When I arrived, there were several trucks in the parking lot. A couple of guys were out where I planned to fish beyond the permanent. There were a couple of guys fishing NE of the permanent and a hub out from the Sunkin Island and a wheeler SE of them. I followed a track out to the NW of the Point. I think I drilled 6 holes in a circle around the first hole I drilled. I then took the rods out of the rod case and sent the Chicken Nugget down. One or two marks showed themselves in the first hole. I then went to the next hole to the North. A number of marks came to the Chicken Nugget, so I put down the camera, and it was sunfish. The bright sun made for fairly good visibility. Nothing in the next hole, which was in 15', next hole, a couple of marks which I verified at Sunfish. I don't think I marked anything in the next hole, and marked a couple in the last hole. I then went and drilled my hole sets. And set up in the hole with all the sunfish. I wish I had just set up there immediately rather than checking all the holes. I burned too much daylight. I put a red tail down and then jigged with a Cubby and PB Switch. I missed a number of bites before I finally got my first fish of 2026 on the green pumpkin Switch. I think I fired up the Little Buddy around 4:15, and it ran for maybe 20 minutes before it ran out of propane. It took me 20 to 25 minutes to relight it. I finally took off the red tail, and that is when my fortunes switched around somewhat, as crappies liked the Glow Demon/crappie minnow. But I switched too late, and the action didn't last long. Things got slow, so I called it a night.
