I take it the bite wasn't as good yesterday? I got skunked yesterday afternoon (on a different lake). I don't know if it was the high pressure or the fish just haven't moved in yet (or both).

The bite was not as good Saturday. I think most everyone struggled. Friday, seemed like there was a fish around every tree. I think the passing front, the northwest wind at 20+ and the temp drop just plain hurt the bite. I'm sure the high pressure had something to add in also.

I noticed several things. One, I couldn't hold the jig still between the wind blowing the jig pole and the boat bouncing up and down. The boat bouncing may have created noise the fish didn't like (I was in 6-7 feet of water). Also, clarity of the water was not as good. I tried to adjust for that with jig color, but no luck.
