15 July Burwell

[Amarok]

Had a great day on the water with the kids. Found most of the fish between 55 and 62 east of Burwell and well away from the pack. Hot lures were the copper and black RRF and the greasy chicken spoon. Blueberry muffin worked well. Dipsys were back 90', downrigger at 38 with a 30 foot lead, and running 5, 6, and 7 colour. All fired consistently except for the rigger which was a bit slower.

The best phrase of your report is, "well away from the pack".

Good on you and congratulations.

Not 100% sure, are those kids smiling? ?

nice going
look like your kids had a great time!!!!

I have probably caught 12 or more on the riggers in last 2 trips all on a silverfox sliders (cheaters??)
I rarely catch very many fish on riggers , especially when fish are higher up. I think sunday was first time I every used sliders on Lake erie. and it payed off probably 30% of our fish came from riggers.

@Puddle Jumper

I keep records and sliders are super effective. If a downrigger goes into the water, it has a slider on it.

Doubles on that one line are an adrenaline pump for sure.
