The Day Before


Fished Airport Bay off Grosse Ile with Doug S. Temperature this morning was 22 degrees and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 20s. The wind was out of the west at 10 knots and the sky was pretty blue. The ice is about 10 inches thick. We decided to fish the Gander Mountain Tournament that is going to be held on Airport Bay tomorrow and so today we thought we would pre fish the area and figure out where we would start fishing in the morning. The water on the east side of the bay was dirty and towards the airport it was shallow. We moved around a lot and the fishing was slow. Everyone that we talked to had no fish, so it should be interesting tomorrow. We kept 3 perch and the largest was almost 13 inches. Today we parked at the airport and walked to the bay from there, almost a 1 1/2 mile walk. Tomorrow we can park by the bay and hopefully catch some more fish. I went to Florida for almost a week hoping to get some deep sea fishing in but the weather was windy and cold everyday. Talked to a lot of fisherman down there and the fishing is just terrible for this time of year. The water temp in the Gulf Coast is 57 degrees!!
