Yes.

I blame the stupid fish..... stupid fish. 🙈

Got a few largemouths, crappies and a bull gill yesterday.  Nice day, but those south west winds on 528 are brutal.  Got a nice wind burn from it.  Good to get out away from everything.  Would have been nice to get the boat out and move around a bit more.  But watching all of the other boats getting pushed by the wind, it likely would have just irritated me more than anything.  I opted to wade and just irritated by (guessing bluegills) hitting but not committing...  Was enough action to be enjoyable, but was hoping for a bit more meat, but usually the case.  Hopefully get out again soon enough.
 
 

Pork gooder for you.

We may not agree on all subjects but one for certain... I dispise the stupid wind.

I know I can fix that wind thingy though. I just go and buy a "wind turbine" and you can bet your last fish hook, on the wind stopping.

Buying a sailboat would be a second option.

Thanks for the report PT.  Been thinking about getting up there myself to fish the lake and get my usual frustrating results for this time of year.  Haha.  
 
Had a few friends post on social media yesterday that they went to Moraine (not fishing, just to get out) and couldn't believe how crowded it was.  

Yesterday was possibly the busiest that I have ever seen the area that I was, which is usually pretty empty.  I would bet the main lake, bike trail and other more used areas were packed.  Hopefully that doesn't shut down things down for us that stay away from others.
 
This time of year for me, is hit or miss.  The water is still pretty cold.  I was wading with my boot foot neoprenes with thinsulate in the boots.  My feet were numb by the end of the day.  If someone ends up falling in, I can see that forcing the issue of closing.

My friend that lives up there said the same--the lake is packed.

Are any of the local bait stores open? Would be nice to know before I male the trek.

I went without bait this past trip. Not sure if ODonnell is open. Here is his number. Might be able to order by phone, to limit contact? Not sure what the rules are if he isn’t allowed to be open? (724) 368-3418

I had them hitting plastics, but may have caught more on live?

I am sure the crowds had something to do with how nice of a day Thursday was. That is why I went, seeing rain all weekend...

Had a heck of a time remembering my login in info. Finally got it squared away.

Any ways.... had the girls out the same day everyone else was out. Soft plastics and floats. Hopefully this coming cold front doesnt screw things up too bad.

Good luck and stay safe all.

Wondering where you were. I can’t post from my iPad since I have no clue what my password is... I’m getting a new phone soon, so down to just my computer unless I can find.

Congrats on showing those girls how it is done. Unless they outfished you, then even better! Did you happen to hear someone beep at you from the road around 4PM? Wasn’t sure if you guys, but beeped anyway.
