Did you fish mid lake near Windy Bay or were you fishing the area south of Harrison? I fished both areas around every weed bed I could find and threw everything in my arsenal at them. I wonder if the gill netting by the tribe and the bounty they put on them the last few years is having a big affect on the pike numbers. I have not done very well this fall. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm not going to give away where I've been catching fish but if you found some, you're in the right spot. I had to change things up a little. The spots that have been producing fish for me weren't producing for me Saturday. I knew the fish were still in the area but just not getting in contact with the baits that have been doing well lately. I switched up and threw a Storm Swimmin Stick bait that was running about 5-6 feet down rather than the 2-3 feet I have been fishing. Once I got down in the water column a little more, I got hooked up. Unfortunately I had to get home by a certain time so I had to leave right when I got them figured out a little. I think the bigger fish are there, just a little deeper.
