cold day at petrie

Post by **troll** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 9:03 pm

it was a pretty windy day and with the cold temp the outside holes were a real nuasance .The fish were there but not very aggresive .Iwas able to attract the fish but enticeing a bite was another story.The more things I tried the less interested they were.Thanks to my flasher I was able to figure out less equals more sometimes.Once attracting a fish it was time to do very little just enough to see my bait an the fish come together hold very still an wait for a take.The bite was very lite an setting the hook had to be pretty quick,but the trick was to let the fish come to me an just be very patient.Not that I caught anything to brag about 2 perch an 1- 14 inch eye.Point is I had to watch these fish glued to my bait and if I move the bait they would leave. without my flasher I would of been clueless to these fish even being there and my day would of been a bust.

It was pretty cold out there yesterday with the 20km+ winds... was actually going to stay home but all the gear seemed to naturally gravitate towards the car... Made it out and put a good slay on them. What time were you out on WB?

When in doubt cause of the weather, go out fishing anyways!

I was out there late morning just north of a black popout I went out in the blue focus.Glad to here you found a hot spot .Like I said my initial intent an mindset was to fish aggresive and it just took me a long time to work it out.unfortunately yelling bite dammit did not work so I took the time to listen to the fish instead of the other way around.I packed up around 5.
