Got on the water mid morning..... cool and raining.
Went over to the west side of Scot Island but there was a boat parked fishing live bait so I gave em some space and moved on....
Only my second time on this lake so I thought I'd look around a bit.... I shot straight out to Beech island and fished a Buzz bait up close and got one nice reaction but no hook up in very shallow water (made me jump it was so close to the boat) but I liked throwing the Buzzbait so I kept at it .... I then went east and fished that side of the island where the Lilly pads are..... about a dozen Kayakers came through (crazier than me in the rain).... couldn't get a bite on Senkos or Buzz Bait........ tried small cranks also.
At that point I basically took a tour of the place and went all the way to the back and fished the eastern side on the way there.... at one point the weather started clearing and there appeared to be some top water activity starting up but that soon changed and got more windy and cold......
No fish today, but I learned a bit about the struture of that place and got to see most of it... it's pretty damn big (255 acres) with lots of small coves along the way...... thankfully I took (2) trolling motor batteries and it was still tough getting back against the wind...
Kinda day makes you appreciate a warm house, lol.
