It wasn't fast fishing, but the fish are big! I caught 6 Bows that ranged from 3-7 lbs. The big fish was 24 inchs. Took almost 10 minutes to land him. Got them all on jigs (Vibra Fin Leech). They were all released.
It was so windy I had to use Fireline with a floro leader just so i could even have a little control of my line! The South Park express started about 10:00 AM and never relented! It got so bad at one point I had to get out of the water, because there were three foot white caps crashing into shore.
Unfortunately I wasted three hours in the morning fishing for Pike at 11-Mile.
Next weekend the DOW is stocking 60,000 11-14 inch Bows and Cutbows into Spinney. Maybe that will get the pike going? I am afraid they thinned them out to much at both Spinney and 11-Mile? The guy who owns Chapperall store said he hasn't seen any pike all summer from Spinney except an occasional big fish.
