Man was it flat calm and sunny ! Fishing was good until 9am and then someone put the breaks on. We only did 3 fish after 9am. The screen looked good in 120 - 140 but the fish were hitting better in 150 - 160 for us. Most of our fish came on wires and coppers. Only 2 fish on riggers all morning. Once again another trip in the books without catching a steelhead!

Your so full of dog s?&!!!!

We had the same issue last weekend. Lots of guys saying the same thing on the radio too.

Rick, I found you some new footwear for the 2012 season!

I would fish it but I have to work that weekend

Happy Birthday.

Every day is different. Follow what Bazookajoe said but be willing to change if things are not working. Some days, long leads will get fish that are boat shy (deep or shallow) into biting.

Jonboy, If you call Fat Nancy' they will ship them to you. I was not making the trip from Rochester unless I had to. They had no problem shipping them.

I got mine at Fat Nancy's or you can call Big jon and order them. All you have to do is drill one extra hole fo the other keel. The pull very hard once the keel is added.

JR, you have a PM

If you do not want to buy a probe, use a thumper rod with a luhr jensen dodger as your attractor on it. You can see the "thump" of the dodger in the rod at the correct speed (around 2.4mph.) Any slower you will get a quick pulse because the dodger is just fluttering slightly compared to the eratic side to side wobble.

When you are letting it out, you are letting it out too fast. Back the drag off and let it slowly go out instead of using free spool.

I have caught a couple over the years that colorful. I would think it is from laying tight to the bottom. They also color up like that when they spawn in the fall.

Get well soon Glen.

Happy Birthday Chad!

Nice job Rob! Glad to see those kings off Sandy!

Slow for the first hour until we hit a color change. Lots of hits, runs and drops on the wires and coppers. Riggers were quiet for the most part. After putting some medium kings and cohos in the boat, we decided to laker fish. 1 1/2 hours of laker fishing and we boated a 19lb 6 oz laker that puts us in 15th place in the derby. Lots of fish all over the water column. I ran high rods for steelhead most of the morning but another trip in the books with no steelhead. Pics and video to come!

Thanks wrongrod. I was going to do the same thing.

Anyone use rod slicks to store their trolling rods when they are not in use? I was looking in the cuddy yesterday thinking they would really help keep things more organized.

Now we did it. We woke up Bob.

Congrats Jeremy. The ride with Tom in the AM was the reason the Am trip was full of laketrout. It took all day to shake his curse!

That laker had some good taste in spoon colors Mark. It is amazing what a fish will do to survive.

Rob, Are you going to ride this sale out until retirement?

Chickenwing, NBK, Gator, Froggy, Froggy Glow, should I keep going?
