We were the first boat at the ramp and the first boat in the water on Saturday morning, and let me tell you that it was COLD! The mud from the Genesee River was running right down the shoreline. We motored to Shipbuilders Creek and the water started to clear up, so we started to set lines. I went straight to the bright colored stickbaits. Rapala GFR's on the furthest and closest planer board lines, and a Rebel Fastrak chartreuse with green diamonds set between them. I had just got done setting the rebel and FISH ON. It was a little BT and we thought that it was going to be a GREAT day! Well, we set the rest of the lines and we waited, and waited, and waited. The fish weren't cooperating and the water was cold. Most of what we found was 39 degrees. After an hour or so of nothing I started changing lures up. I went to chartreuse on the furthest and closest board line and a silver black and orange on the middle line. The silver/black took a short strike almost instantaneously, and on the troll back West the chartreuse crystal minnow and the Rapala F9 in chartreuse took two more fish. 10 minutes before we picked up the inside Rapala F9 in chartreuse took another fish. Nothing was big on this day (unlike last week). We boated 4 and lost one, and we were off the water by 11:30am. Best water we found was East of shipbuilders hitting 41 degrees. That dirty Genny water is probably why chartreuse was so good. The fish could actually see it
