A Weather Tease

I fished Lake Memphremagog with Tim & my wife, Christiane today and was surprised to see the sun for most of the morning. The winds were out of the S/SW at 5 to 10 knots putting a little chop on the water, but the color was like mud. It was really difficult to locate water clear enough to be able to fish, but offshore humps were definitely the place to be. Once again, jerk-baits and jigs accounted for the 20 or so smallies up to 3.5 pounds that were caught & released today. The water temps were around 54 degrees in most places, but the mud lines were really thick from all the heavy rains we’ve been having lately making for difficult fishing conditions. The afternoon wasn’t much different today as the rain began to fall around 1:30 and we headed off the water by 2:30 PM when the conditions worsened. The winds had increased to 10 to 20 knots with 2 footers greeting us for the run back. The overall fishing was pretty good considering all that Mother Nature dealt us today!!
