Pickerel with Greg
Raised 5 Pickerel in the W and NW calm side of the lake after trolling and drifting didn't pan out in the SE ,E and NE .Each got two , I dropped one . Greg's best ,18.5" ,1#7oz. John's best 18" 1#,4oz. Fish were in 8',to just a few feet of calm water . Small spinners and spoons . Greg scored 1st with a tiny size 1? spinner and then I shortly afterwards raised and dropped a fish the same size as his 16/17 " fish, on a Gold Nungesser spoon tipped with 1/2 a crawler .Both fish were in Wood/ Rock /Weeds/Lily pads .....Greg's 2nd fish hit a brightly painted 2.5 "? flutter spoon , a little farther down the shoreline on wood/dieing Pads and weeds and I got my 1st Fish with the same worm tipped NG spoon shortly afterwards on weed/ Pads in the NW corner . We did the entire run again and using a gold 1/6th oz. Acme Little Cleo/crawler piece, I got the last fish at the NW bend /cut way up on some distinctive dyeing grass growing up out of the water in just a few FOW, inside dead/thick pad area. I missed that the 1st time thinking it was too shallow .
Water temp 48 degrees in the East and 46 in the West where we caught .Got on the water a round 10:15 and didn't contact fish till around noon; got off the water @3:30 .

Thanks. and Happy Thanksgiving to you Jeffrey . Started out thinking and hoping I might find some Bluegills and Crappie ,as well as Pickerel . In my home lake the Perch or the Crappie save the day this late in the year , but in this lake it was the Pickerel . Never have caught Gills this late in the year ,in this particular lake and didn't find them today. I got much to learn ! I 've caught real fine Gills in the 9 ' -9.5 class in this lake but only up 'till October .Well, there's still ice fishing ,but all I caught was one Pickerel here thru the ice .
