I took my wife out for some trolling at high tide. 1:30 high tide and hot & sunny. First off, I need a new tube eel. The tube I was using is simply too heavy for fishing 6-8' of water. I continually got hung up on the bottom. It was very frustrating to say the least. No other activity, no strikes.
Later in the day I took Jr to the town pier and used the Aqua-Vu underwater viewing system. It was amazing. Very clear. We saw starfish, crabs, school's of small fish, and I did happen to notice a large fish swim by in the distance, I couldn't make it out.

- I fish. When permitted, I will fish in almost any body of water (fresh or salt) using almost any method; Bait, Spin, Ultra-light, Ice, Pier, Surf, Boat, Canoe, you name it & I'll do it. I also support catch and release. (Unless it's simply too big or too dead to release)
Would you drive on this road? We did.
This is the Lake Champlain shanty road in Port Henry, NY. 12+ inches of water on top of the ice. This picture was taken over a mile from shore.
