2 of us fished one our favorite properties, but chose the wrong day for weather.  Started fishing at 7:30 and threw in the towell at 11:00.  Cold (around 40 with strong winds gusting over 30).  Water temp was about 51.  We could see lots of fish suspended on fish finder, but we just couldn’t get them to bite.  Tried crank baits, jerk baits, spinner baits, jigs, TR worms (lots of colors), buzz baits, swim baits, and everything else we could think of using a variety of presentations (slow, faster, etc.).  They just didn’t want to bite on that day.  We did manage to catch 5 very small fish, all on crank baits fished slow.  Can’t wait for the water to warm up another 10 degrees.  Always a good day when fishing no matter what the conditions are.  Lake and property are still in fabulous condition.  What a nice property!
