Lines down by 7am 100fow running harness down 50 to 60ft Found a school right away and started to do figure eights over it and had our 2 man limit by 9am. Most were cookie cutter size with a couple 6 pounders. Let a few small ones go that we're healthy enough to release. Had an old friend out in his boat which is a Tahoe not really a fishing boat. He had one rod and a clamp on holder ????...I gave him a 2 way radio we can communicate to help him out...the first call I get from him is he forgot to bring tackle box ????????...so I wrapped a couple harnesses on a noodle and sent over the side for him...he said he had a net ..perfect . Well I seen his net ..and was maybe a size for pan fish ????????..but he managed to scoop the care package ????..The next call I get from him was he dropped his holder overboard..OMG..????..but anyway he held on to his new trolling rod and dipsy and managed his 1 man limit ..????.. anyway after we had our limits we decided to go for bows...switched harness for spoons and RRFs and bumed the speed up ran lines down 30ft didn't get any bows but probably released another 15 or so eyes at around 11am decided the bows weren't coming out to play so packed up and headed in. What fun filled morning that was ????????????

Your doing it again Dave, making me jealous buddy😀.
I miss not going out there????????
I'm having fun catching a few kings and Bows, but no money fish for me on the south side.
It has slowed down on this side for the Kings.
Most winning fish are being caught on the north side.
I may take a breakaway one day and get out on Erie.(y)
I'm still thinking there's a BIG one one out there with my name on it.????????
 
Ya...Dave it's loaded up out there in Maitland...I'm thinking of switching gears and going to lake O and try to get something to post in the club...I will probably wait tho until the end of August when they start staging for the runs...I spooled up a couple reels with mono for that purpose to help with those damn sea fleas that are notorious on lake O ????...I hear there not to bad sofar ...but there coming ???????????....let me know if your going out on Erie maybe hook up ..????????????
 
I may take a brake next week and get out on Erie to get some good eats. Ya the fleas haven't been to bad so far.
I've been catching a few Kings but no money fish yet but still trying.(y)
