8pt172 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Made it on the big pond by 630am... went to first spot and boated a dozen 2-4lb in the first hour. Swim bait and green tube gold flake. The fish were cruising in packs, water 54 degrees. Fishing a huge sand flat 6-12 ft of water. Just covered water until a bite, then the next few minutes were fish after fish for about 5 casts each, then they would move. Then about 930 the sun broke and the wind laid down calm. This really slowed the bite, so we trailered up 10 miles and fish Elk Rapids area. We caught another dozen in the next 1.5 hours. There were lots bank fishermen catching SMB in River. If we could have had some wind, I think we could have caught over a hundred, but we were happy with 45-50 2-4.5lbs in less than 6 hours of fishing. Forgot to mention we REALLY slowed down and dragged 5" stick worms in green and red flake once the wind laid down. Edited May 28, 2018 by 8pt172 Forgot to add something 5 Quote
