It’s the last day of the Elite Series season and it’s ending about the way it started: cold and windy.
Only slightly windy. But we’ve definitely had a cold front push through. The temperature is 47 at the moment. That’s not especially cold in this part of the world, but it compares to 80-plus degrees when this event started. Fall is in the air in the north country.
There’s a huge bank of clouds hanging over the lake at the moment. And the wind is blowing stout enough the east side of the lake the waves are 4- and 5-footers.
On the east side where Christie and Palaniuk are fishing it’s as calm as a kitten. That’s the nature of Mille Lacs it has two sides and it seems to show both of them at the same time.
Either way, things are changing, or have changed this morning. Every angler knows what that could mean for AOY contenders. It will certainly hurt Combs, who is leading the event.
From those of us watching. It just creates another very interesting day
