Got out around 9 am about 47 degrees water temp same. Caught 5 lost 4 and marked many. Fished in 90 fow just north of bridge. Caught them on the bottom and it was amazing to see them come up on my new HDI 7 I got for Christmas. I started by drifting slowly over them but wind got brutal. Not having a trolling motor sucks. So I got creative and threw out my anchor and had fun. Two other boats were in the area then left with the fish still biting. One of them caught 14 and he is an incredible jigger. My biggest went 26" and was thick. I had been using an old black and white screen hummingbird that came on the boat when I bought it and I was truly amazed when I now see what I was missing. Fishing 3/4 oz jig head with white ice fluke. Can't wait till Im off on Friday to head back to the lake.

Fixed that subject for you. Good way to adapt - and good catching. We made it as far down as the turn at R30 this am about 7-7:30 and didn't see birds so we turned back up to drag some bait around. Cool to see how those new electronics work, huh! And hopefully took the sting off that Bay trip

Unreal how the new electronics are. I am still playing around to fine tune it. There were several birds at the bridge. I have pics but can't figure out how to post them.

You can directly attach pics, but they have to be under some size, so you'd likely have to resize them to a lower resolution 1st. Alternatively, you can setup an account somewhere like Photobucket, upload our full-res pics there and link - smlfishingforums.proboards.com/thread/37/posting-pics

Were you in the center console just below the bridge about 3:00? saw someone there when I came across the bridge to put the boat in the water.
