Fishing without wind.

[Illinoisgiller]

I was able to free up the afternoon yesterday, so enjoyed a nice placid lake chasing bluegill. The lake I fished last trip drains down to this one. It is a mile long strip pit. There is a light algae bloom now. This lake is known to hold some large (for this area) gills . I had a tough time getting on an decent size this day.
Best bite was a shot up 2 ft from a 1/80 gold red butt jig. A long cast then slow troll straight up the center over 30' of water. I used other methods, this just worked best. I only counted 23 total in 4 hours so the bite was less than hot. This lake is used a lot so has a 10 fish limit.
Nice to enjoy fishing without the chilly wind.
