The fish won!

The graph told me the temperature of the lake was 59F (15C). The winds were blowing from the west at 35 KM (22 mph). The air temperature said 9 C. Saturday was to be my first day of pre-fishing for the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship.
For the past several years, I have looked at several pieces of shoreline in the south arm, strewn with lots of boulders and the occasional weed patch and wondered if they held fish. I was going to test them because the wind was beating on the shores or driving waves along the boulder fields that should make for good fishing.
