Hi Novice,

Yes it's ice free and fishing well. I spent an enjoyable day today. Fished a team of 3 spiders very slow and deep. Even had a rainbow and a blue trout on at the same time! A green egg worked too. Most of the takes came ten to fifteen yards out.

Well I did not blank which was good. Caught 2 on deep slow worked lure. Tried spiders and buzzers but not a sniff. It was slow going for every one except for 2 guys who found a shoal tucked in a bay.

Sunny but with a cold wind.

It was a cold wind but not windy by HN standards.

Yes, know that bay well, especially casting to it from that cliff area and if your lucky enough to get on that pinnacle point. Good for drifting a foam daddy about in summer that area, cheers ck.

glad you got 2!

I caught on the point by the trees just along from the disabled peg. Couldn't get a take anywhere else. They must shoal up in this weather.
