I haven't had a couple days of fishing this bad in a long time. Again today I wasn't able to catch a bass. Today was a little worse because I didn't even see one. On a positive side (at least I think this is positive) I saw a lot of boats today and didn't see anyone catch a fish. So at least that tells me things are tough, but I would still like to catch one.
I started off in Barrie this morning and fished a bunch of stuff I wanted to check out in the bay. Hit some deep drops, points, weedlines and didn't get anything but some perch. There were a ton of perch off the weedlines out there. Usually the bass will hand around the edges on the sand but if they were there today they weren't biting. Drop shotting a perch colored goby usually works well for smallmouth that are feeding on perch, but I wasn't able to have any success. I changed it up an threw a tube and some grubs for a while too and nothing.
At about 11am I felt like things weren't going my way in the bay so I decided to pull out and trailer over to the south shore of the lake where I caught those two fish last Saturday. I was back in the water just before 1pm and all my spots were packed. Most of the spots I wanted to fish had at least two tournament boats on them. This area was getting a lot of pressure. It is usually popular this time of year so I was expecting it. I idled around a lot this afternoon looking at my Lowrance most of the day for something just off the main structures. I found a lot of good looking stuff, just no fish on it.
They were calling for high winds on Saturday but that has changed and it looks like it will be a relatively calm day. However, it will be a wet one. Not something that is any fun when you aren't catching fish. Tomorrow is the last day I have to put something together. I plan to fish the south eastern side of the lake around Thorah and Georgina Islands. Hopefully there will be some biting fish around there.
