I wrote this report earlier, but somehow it didn't go through.... forgive me if it double posts.
Went to Lk. Wa. on Sunday from about 11:00 -2:00 pm. I was trolling the West side from the Cedar R. up and down to Pritchard park. (1 mile south of Seward) FYI, Pritchard park is a little known launch off of Seward Park Ave. It's only $6.00, and never more than two trailers there.
Anyway, like I've heard from the others, the fish weren't showing themselves. I trolled Les Davis pop gear followed up by a red Wedding ring, and other times a flatfish. No strikes at all. I was downrigging at only about 10-15 ft. Of course I know that you don't need the d.r.'s this time of year with fish up top, but it is new to me so I wanted to learn to work with it.
Sunny skies, calm waters, water temp. 45 degrees. I did mark quite a few fish in the far south west corner of the lake usually in 10 ft. of water about 50 ft. off of the docks. These were schooling fish.... what do you think, perch in the winter?
It looks like it's the cutts. 1, Chris 0.
