My fishing party arrived after 7 a.m. this morning so we started a little late. I headed the vessel out to 51 feet where we had caught some fish the day before. The screen was pretty blank today but we had the odd hit so we stayed in the area a couple of miles west of port for about 3 hours. After this we headed out a little deeper and about 4 miles west of port in 54 feet of water. There were more fish marking so we had a better luck in this area and fished until just after lunch.
Stats:
Went 7 for 12 with 4 nice walleye all in a cookie cutter size of about 3.5 lbs each
The 3 steelhead were in the 5-8 lb. range
Best lures for walleye were a variety of orange and yellow spoons on 4 - 5 color cores
One walleye came off small dipset 3 setting out 125 feet
Rainbows all hit the mainlines down 40 and 42 feet using BPW and Nascar spoons
Surface temps were 69.5 degrees and 40 feet down on the probe the temps were 64.5 degrees
Best trolling speed today was 2.6 - 2.7 on the probe which is about 3.0-3.1 on the GPS
No pictures today since the clients were taking their own.
Tightlines,
John
