No fish lake

It was obvious these last few days that long lake in Alpena, MI, it is just too early to go fishing. My best friend and I spent hours and hours trolling and casting and jigging long lake for fish.

What started as a goal for walleye ended up being a desperate plea for anything to include grass pike, which we still left empty handed but not from the lack of trying. We both have the sunburns as proof.

We tried crankbait at first with no luck. We then tried jigging with the new leeches by gulp with no luck. Then we tried a crawler harness with some fresh fat night crawlers and still not even a nibble.

Maybe next time but not this time.
