Tough Day on Saturday

We headed out Saturday morning with high hopes. After success last Sunday with 12 carp and 3 catfish, I was hopeful that the winning streak would continue.

The set-up I use for pier fishing

Unfortunately, the carp went the way of Elvis on Saturday - they had left the building - or at least weren't biting in the heat.

The water was very warm to the touch and unusual. I don't think I've ever felt water as warm as a bath tub in Lake Erie before.
