It was another beautiful morning September 6th on Winnebago
fishing with my good friend Bob. We ventured out for some pan fish and weren't
disappointed.
The key to enticing the fish today was the transition between mud and gravel in about 10'-13' of water. They were a bit finicky today. We had blue skies and about 1'-2' chop, very warm at 86 and the water temperature was 71. We tried jigging with no luck, and dead sticking with ice fishing jigs with minimal luck. The key was a plane number 12 red Eagle Claw hook with night crawler pieces or red worms. I also had a small shinny pink bead above the hook, that was key!! The bead above the hook out fished the plain hook 10-1. I only kept enough for a meal for Bob. (4) 11" Perch, (8) 10" Blue gill, and 2 large White Bass, we caught drifting.

We threw back 40 Perch, 6 Blue Gill, and to many Sheep head
to count. Detail was the key to a successful day on the water. Without the
small bead we would have had a slow day. Try new things, and move around until
you find fish...until next time...
Keep Fishing
