Got out Sat for one last troll of 2010.
Didn't want to leave the dock before it was light enough to see with all the stuff the rivers were pumping out.
Hit the lake and headed north against the waves at a comfortable speed and watched the FF in depths from 40 fow to 120 fow. Very bleak picture except for bait in the 120 range. Bait no fish. Got up to Lake View and set lines. Worked from that 120 into 10 really well without a fish of any kind on the screen or the rods. Trolled from there down past the entrance of Sandy pond in 10 to 20 fow without a touch.
Pulled lines and ran down to Salmon river and things were pretty much as I expected. Chocolate milk from the mouth to about a mile out with all kinds of debris in the mix. Pretty much unfishable so we headed in for lunch. Back on the lake about 3:30 and went northwest out to 225 and set lines. Trolled in to the bouys infront of the plant with a blank screen and no fish. Quite a bit of suspended bait out in the deep water and figured we should have run into a two year old or for that matter quite a few but nope. Barren.
Hit the bouy line and trolled it right into the Bay and into the shallows figureing we'd find some Browns but that wasn't to be either.
Admitted defeat and pulled rods about 7:00 pm and headed in.
An appropiate finish to the worst fall I've ever seen in the Bay.
Time to beat up on some local trout until the ponds ice over.
See ya next spring.
