Between the weather, work. and babysitting grandchild, I haven’t fished since Larto get together. It was just too pretty of a day not to go. I have fished a lot of those pretty days in the spring, and rarely had much luck. Still, it was to pretty to stay home.
So, I figured I would go to Louie. Got a few shiners at Upak and headed north. I have a new puppy, so he got to go with me. No boats at the landing, water high and muddy.(perfect?)
Big motor cranked right up. Decided to go up and fish a creek near Bill’s. Saw lots of small fish on Livescope, but no takers. Also the trolling motor didn’t work. Fiddled with it for a while with no luck. Drifted around fishing an area where I have caught some fish in the spring. A couple of nibbles but no fish caught. After a couple hours, I tried the trolling motor again and it worked! (I’m being punished for going salt water fishing)

I was able to fish more thoroughly, but still no fish. Headed back to let the pup stretch his legs. I’m going to try somewhere not as muddy next time.
