Closing out January in style
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2024 3:03 pm
Made a trip on Sunday morning to my favorite local body of water. Was pleased to see the water level a couple feet higher on account of recent rain. Hopefully some more will bring that water level back up.
It was 3 days after the full moon and we had some favorable eastbound wind and a few warmer days. That seemed to inspire the fish to bite. My brother set a new PB for himself 20 minutes in with a solid 3.5 (his previous PB was under 2 since the areas he fished in Toronto weren’t known for big largies). The bites kept coming steady for us until 9:30ish. There was a tourney happening and the guys in boats around us were catching too. Seems like it was a good day to be on the lake.
Worm bite, but I did get a couple as well doing the “mid strolling” thing.
This time last year I was not catching a damn thing. Nice to end January on a good note. Spring will be here before we know it!
