Well Sat was one of those days when fly fishing is out of the question. I tried it for about 10 min but the wind would blow any line I stripped in back into the water. 25 to 30 mph gusts made it ridiculous to even try it.
Once we switched over to gear the fishing was still slow. The low light seemed like a perfect time but there was nothing stirring anywhere. No birds, squirrels, ducks, nothing. The cows in a field close to us were all standing close together and staring at us like we were crazy.
We did get one good hit early that somehow managed to get away and leave Jay’s line looking like it had been in a blender. Then I drew a very large Muskie in close but for whatever reason he turned away. Jay cast in the direction of the follow and caught one that was smaller but still a decent fish. It was his first Muskie. We decided that we were pretty lucky to get anything and that continuing was futile so we ended the trip.
The barometer was at 29.9 in the morning and dropped to 29.7 (poor) later in the day. So far I'm seeing an effect on the fishing and wildlife activity in general based on Barometer readings.
