Started fishing about 8:30 and quit about 3:15. Only one bite all day long and it was a 6 inch crappie that I threw back.
Water temp was 49-50 degrees. Spotted a lot of fish on depth finder holding 16-19 feet deep in 20-25 feet of water, just couldn't get them to bite. Fished up by the Hwy 2 bridge. Fished from the bridge down almost to the island on the left. Water was muddy and current was swift and the wind was a blowing. The one fish I caught was in the big flat just off of Hwy 2. Water in the flat varied from 10-15 feet. I talked to several folks who were having the same kind of success I was having. NONE. LOL. Maybe next time.
