Wickiup 7/5, not 6/5
After getting my chores done, I popped up to Wickiup for the evening arriving on the lake around 5 pm. The wind that was blowing at my house was present on the water as well. It was choppy but fishable. Being in a hurry is never a good idea and rushing to get on the road resulted in my downrigger being left at home. crymeariver
Not being one to cry me a river, I just decided it was going to have to be a jigging trip. Armed with a chrome buzz bomb I headed out into the chop. I do not like to anchor by myself and the wind was too strong to jig next to the bottom, so I back-trolled into the wind to hold my position. I fished several places close to the Gull Point boat ramp (are you listening Silver Bullets?). The fishing was not stellar, but did manage two fish on 6 strikes. One was 16 inches and other 17. I got fed up with the wind at 8 pm and headed for the dock.
The water was 68 at the surface and 55 at the bottom. I picked all my bites with the buzz bomb fishing right next to the bottom in 40ish feet of water.
