| Houghton Lake Colors Storm Thunderstick |
I took a vacation day today and headed up to Houghton Lake to try my luck walleye fishing after the cold front moved through last night. I got on the lake at 8am and headed to the South shore to fish 5 to 7 FOW in some of my favorite early season spots. When I started fishing the South shore water temp was 47 F and the wind was out of the NW. I trolled all of my spots for 3 hours and never had a hit, so I decided to change up and do some jigging and still fishing. Well after another 2 hours and no action I packed up and drove to the north shore to try fishing out in front of the Muskegon River mouth. The water temp was 51 F when I arrived and I marked a few fish laying on the bottom in 6 FOW. Again I fished for 2 hours and couldn't make a fish bite. I continued fishing all over the lake until 7pm when I called it a day. Overall report was no bites anywhere on the lake and a good reminder that I need to develop a new method for fishing after a cold front. Fished all day trolling, jigging, still fishing and covered lots areas from 4 to 12 FOW. Had fun practicing and enjoyed my day out of the office....
Dock report- four boats no fish.
Good Luck...
Good Luck...
