With the weather calling for being cold ,windy and rain I still took my boat with us to Everts this weekend but due to the weather I just never had the desire to go out in the boat.
The Fw and I did alot of fishing from shore and the docks instead, targeting anything the would take the bait.
I started out with jig and fathead and got alot of takers ,but only 2 walleyes and 3 saugers(all short) for my targeted species all weekend,but let me tell the sheephead were hungry and on fire.
At one point I got so bored with them I decided to start casting and jigging back a one-eye jig and I wasnt disappointed,I managed a nice pike around 24″-28″(released)and put the smack down on the sheephead.It was a hoot to catch fish like the way I was using the one-eye jig.
While I was dock fishing I would talk to the boaters trolling by and check with them to see how they were doing,All said it was slow, except for a couple of boats that fish south they said had caught some keepers.
I think we all cant wait for some better weather and stable water conditions to kick the walleye fishing in.
Either way it was fun to catch some fish and make the best of gloomy weekend.
