Apparently Bertha has entered WITSEC!
As soon as I launched, I figured I'd hit the 3 main trees on the way out of the creek. Zero, Zip, Nada, not even a nibble from panfish. Heavy gear, light gear, finesse gear, nothing. Very strange indeed. I started hitting my regular spots, and only caught a couple dink Largemouth, and a couple little Perch. Hit the 4th island, and got a 1lb 8oz Smallie on a Swimming Dinger, then nothing. Hit the 3rd island and only found nibblers. Back to the 4th and caught a decent 2lb12oz Largemouth on a Wacky General. Did a half lap of the SE side and tried to sight fish a few Largemouth but couldn't get them to commit.
Hit the 3trees again, 2X, on the way out and popped a 3lb Slime Dart at Bertha's tree. No other signs of life on any of them.
It was cloudy all day, so maybe they didn't need to hide from the sun today. I'll try again on a sunny day.

Thanks G, they were pretty good, except the toothy critter slimed my boat. Leaving it uncovered for tomorrow's rain.

Thanks Brad, there were tons of 3 or 4 inch yellow perch in every cove today. I don't think I ever caught a big one there. That's probably what the Walleye eat.

Thanks Al, that's what I'm thinking. She was probably wandering around today. I'll try again on a brighter day.

Thanks Andy. Gotta keep it going, but on slow days I start getting nervous until the first one is in the boat.
Be safe out there, those temperatures are brutal. Good Luck and Tight Lines.
