Got out for around an hour and a half of shore casting today. I did a lot of walking before I made a cast. My efforts were rewarded with a rock solid hit and a great ensuing battle with a beast of a lake trout. I wound up landing and releasing a 31"+ fish. It made a great run and fought hard the entire time. It blasted a blade bait. Lake level remains low. Looks like another cold blast is on the way. Hopefully we'll see some good boating conditions after next week.
