bad day????

[thumbburn]

been fishing pretty well for the last 2 weeks lots of fish. went out today and hooked 1 ripper on the wire and that was it for screamers. picked up 2 lakers and a 1 lb king , yes a 1 lb king. been fishing roughly the same location and lots of boats around,not much chatter on the radio or wet nets, did something change with the north wind blow?? being a rookie to the lake makes me wonder if i was just getting lucky the first 2 weeks.. i know i have to put my time in and thinking that down speed/temp could be much needed.do love beeing out there but rods going off alot better with the price of gas!!!

I dont know how far down you were fishing but the two lakers should have told you temp was high. Yea we all have bad days. Its part of the challenge. I fish the south shore of LO andswe had more of a NE wind Sunday it slowed the fishing alot. Our Honeyholes from SAT were empty and we basically had to ride around till we hit a fish then ride around some more. Catching fish for a first timer is excellent but you still have to put your time in. Yea down speed and temp is important but its only part of the whole puzzle. A puzzle I hope I never put completely together.

Frustrating sometimes isn’t it. Don’t get discouraged. I sucked wind on Sat & had a tough time too & I’ve been fishing a little more than two weeks. It’ll get better pretty soon.

If it’s any consolation, the lake in the center of the S shore is moving around quite a bit. I think we’re due for another upwelling pretty soon. Check the other reports - Billy V in Fair Haven got them deep in the column over deep FOW whereas Reel Drag had a ball on the bottom in the shallows off Sandy & Fishstix nailed them shallow in the column over medium FOW out of Hughes.
