Decided to go back to the new spot where we got 2 WF yesterday since it's closer to where I live and it should be walkable with my kayak to the launch site if I get a better kayak cart (although the neighbours may give me strange looks). Took a while to find some consistent marks again but there was lots of baitfish around in large patches. Once we found frequent marks, the lures went down. Didn't take long. My wife got 2 WF and I got 3 WF but we both also missed a few softer bites or maybe even side swipes (one time my lure came back with 4 WF scales). We also got one small laker each (both easily released by the side of the canoe - barely hooked). 3 of the fish had lots of small smelt in their bellies (about 1-1.5" long) - I noticed this with the fish I caught yesterday from this location so I put a Buckshot spoon on my wife's line and I also used a smaller Swedish pimple (I attached it to a weighted swivel to get it down faster). Both of her fish came on the Buckshot and one of my 3 came on the Swedish pimple. Maybe taking a break from fishing for a few days to get some work around the house done, eat some fish and wait for more calm days for some more fishing. One (descaled and gutted) of the 5 went to some friends and will drop of a bag of boneless meat to some neighbours (and older couple who likes fish but have no idea how to clean a whole fish).
A shorter day but got some WF
