"Pulled my usual Monday-after-teaching trip to check out the Kenosha Area...harbor was DOA...only 4-5 guys out braving the cold, pretty much for nothing. Fish activity was definitely WAY down...not sure if that indicates they've moved or are just put down."

"Stopped over at the mouth of the Pike to check things out as well. I'm happy to report the Pike is closed off by a good 30' of sand right now...I can guarantee there will be no new fish in the river anytime soon, unless King Salmon have somehow grown legs."

That's how I posted it on TSS and well, that pretty much sums it up. But it was another day on the water...better than sitting at home watching TV! Well, the glow of your TV surely keeps you warmer.
