Over the River and Through the Woods!

Fished Lake St. Clair with Doug S. His friend Kenny, Kenny's son and a friend they call Polock also showed up. The temp this morning was 12 degrees and by the time we quit fishing it was in the middle 20s. The wind was very light and the sun would poke out every once in a while which made for a nice day of fishing. We started out fishing at Harbor Nine. We moved around there a couple of times without any luck. Kenny called and said we should head to the South. So away we went. We went by one marina, up over the land onto a small canal, up the seawall through the reeds and over the land, down the seawall and onto another marina. Across that marina onto a small bay which we crossed and headed into the woods. We came out of the woods onto another small bay, which is where we fished. Whew!! I don't even know the name of the bay. We fished in the center of the bay amongst a small pack of fisherman. We used spikes and shiners today but caught nothing off the shiners. Doug started catching fish right away and I was not having very much luck. I moved around him 3 times but it did not seem to help. He even gave me one of his purple jigs to use, but that did not help either. Doug had eleven keepers and I threw one into his pile. We kept 9 Sunfish,2 Gill's and 1 Crappie. A long walk to catch some fish but at least we had some keepers today. Doug did not want to clean the Sunnies so we gave all the fish to Kenny.
