WT - 41.5°- 44° AT - 29°- 49° Partly cloudy Wind - light early to 15 mph by evening Water - clear to heavy stained. Bait - 8 - 12" gizz. pulled on free and light line boards. Had my bait by 7:00 am and was off to hunt some fish. After deploying my lines at different locations I had several pull backs with the board streaking backwards about 4 foot or so. Actually saw two of the fish flash while they were going after the baits. Not big fish mind you but, worth going after to avoid a skunk. Before seeing those fish flashes I was thinking they were too small to take my baits, and were just tugging on them. I tried speeding up my offerings with no action at all. Then slowing down and stopping, which got the most of my fish. I ending up boating five fish in the 28 - 30" range and had two others come unbuttoned. Found no large fish willing to bite. I probably could have jigged and had some success but, I really enjoy planer board fishing.

Nice catching..... glad someone was out - was up on Sunday afternoon to move the boat to its new home and saw one or two folks out giving it a go - marked what I thought was a bunch of fish around 20' in the main channel around Roanoke Point but unfortunately it was not a day to fish.....

Saw a few folks out jigging and trolling yesterday and marked some fish at 30'. I pulled a weighted float line through them at 26' with a smaller gizz and had no love. Guess you must have sold your place with all moving going on. 😢

[ Guess you must have sold your place with all moving going on. 😢 Yep, but I'll still be up at the lake just as much (well, hopefully even more than I was this past year....) - just will be residing out of the Halesford Harbor Inn or elsewhere when there....
