Well...it was day two with the Otten family, but today we were minus Nick, who stayed back at the Resort.  Henry, Gene and I headed out to fish in a cold windy drizzle.  For the first few hours it was some tough fishing, with mostly little fish being caught.  The water temperature had dropped another 4 degrees overnight down to 60 and I knew the fish were going to be sluggish, so we changed our tactics and slowed down and drifted with floating jig heads tipped with 1/2 crawlers.  We didn't have a keeper in the boat at 1:00 p.m., and at 2:30 we had our 15 and were ready to head in early.   I think it's the quickest I've put 15 fish in the box in  a long time.  It pays to be versatile.  Everyday sure is different out here...we'll see what tomorrow brings!  Good luck from all of us in the Bay de Noc area.  smile

Nice job captain!

What is a successful rig for drifting?  I have been using a lindy rig with a weight on main line, barrel swivel and 3 foot leader with a float/bead, and hook. 

 

I have been using aberdeen hooks with I think six or eight pound test for the main line can't remember what i tied the rigs up with it's been so long.

 That's pretty much the same way my brother Kenneth rigs up his poles. He uses a slip sinker (pencil weight he makes) on the mainline, then swivel, then about a 4 foot leader to a floating jig like these from Walleye's Choice http://www.sallmarresort.net/FloatingJigs.html . No need to use a bead with these floaters. Good luck out there...
