2 day trip to Banks.

Thursday it was drizzling rain, 40's, windy, and fishing was as bad as I have seen it all year. It has been dynamite here for last few months but it was not so today. Used bottom bouncers and me and another guy caught 1 16.5 incher (only keeper) and 7 dinks ranging from 9-14 inches.

Friday, not as wet, not as cold but much more wind. 3-5 foot swells. Fished for 5 hours and caught 2 dinks and 1 18 incher. The keeper and 1 dink was actually caught on a 6 inch Renegade curly tail vice a night crawler. It was just a bad couple days on Banks.

I came home with 4 walleye fillets. That don't exactly cover the gas and hotel prices. Oh well, I will be back.

Banks is smokin when the sun is out. There is a tournament there this weekend (good friend of mine is fishing it, as well as his dad-in-law/neighbor), for which this is bad news.

Try peanut butter and jelly plastics, I hear they are really instigating a bite right now.

I havent caught a smallmouth since that day Terry and me drove your boat. I heard they caught 4 over 20 and a bunch of dinks. They had warmer weather and when the weather turned like it was for me Thurs and Fri they shut off. Story of my life. Oh well I am not sure when I will get back there. It might just be the feb freezeout.
