I love this time of the year on the great lakes. There's no requirement to have a huge boat, $1000 worth of gear or the need to make long runs with the the boat to chase big salmon and trout. The big boys are in the shallows feeding on the baitfish which are enjoying he warmer water temps....and of course the rainbows are in spawning.
We got out for a quick fish after work last night and just beach launched a couple tinners...and were fishing in 30 seconds.
I'm always in search of a 20lb+ brown trout, but i welcome anything that peels out the drag on the reel. Last nights mission was more for groceries though. lol A feed of fresh fish has been on my mind all week. I found the eater I was looking for too...a beautiful cold water spring king.
Cant wait to get out again.
Skinny water
Re: Skinny water
Where are you that it's not -20 degrees.
Out on the Great Lakes in a tinny mid January no surprise you're the only one's out there.
"spring" king still a couple months away from that.
Bring a camera next time....
Stay safe
