The wind has been stiff out of the south the last few days. Glad you were able to find fish. Those spring Kings are a lot of fun. The forecast has the wind turning to the north Wednesday night. Hope they are right. That could set up the inshore fishing for the weekend.
I saw you out there in the Zodiac today. I caught 2 Salmon in the same area today. Lots of fish on the screen between the bay and Ship Builders. One fish came on a diver out 30 and one on the downrigger 20'down over 30. It's hard enough solo in a boat, must really be a challenge on a Zodiac. Congrats on the fish.
I didn't get out until almost 9:30. Set up just east of the bay. Lake was a little choppy with rollers out of the northeast. Trolled back and forth to the flagpole a few times without a touch. Slipped out to 60' to take a look but didn't see anything so came back shallow. When the lake settled down the fish started biting. Ended the day 4 for 7. 2 Browns and 2 Kings (15# and 18#). Every hit came on a Michigan Stinger NBK. 4 were 10-11 feet down on the rigger and 3 were on a Dipsey out 35 on a 3 1/2 setting. Not one hit on a stick bait. Also all hits came in 20' to 25' of water. Off the water by 2:00
I'm looking for input for a good net to use when fishing with stick baits. The two I have now are a real PITA with the treble hooks, so I'm in need of something that the lures don't get so wrapped up in.
2 Big Jon Downriggers. Each rigger is 36' and has 2 rod holders. Both motors work and are rated for 12# weights. These are 80's models and the booms do not except threaded extensions.
$250 picked up in Rochester NY.
PM with any interest.
