I fished the north end on Friday and Saturday. Friday my wife joined me and we jigged for about three hours with nothing to show in the north wind but a number of follows which has been the year for me up to this point. Saturday I went solo with a the south breeze, and started off trolling spoons, copper with a flatfish, and a Spin Doctor/Fly combo behind a Dipsey. About the time I got the Dipsey rod set it started thumping bad. I thought I hooked bottom since I was in less than 40 feet of water. When I grabbed the rod and tried to jerk it free, I realized it was a fish and the line snapped....brilliant. Reset the dipsey and in less than five minutes it was bouncing again. I spent the next hour with the SD/fly combo off the dipsey and another on the rigger down 40 feet. I ditched the copper as with those two rods I was constantly setting a rod or reeling a Laker, sometimes two. That's when my back went south and I was forced to call it a day. The bait in the area I fished was incredible. The bulk of the time the screen on my graph was better than half color with bait, and I snagged a bunch of sawbellies. I also managed a small Landlock on a Sutton that I had on as a sliding cheater. I too have been wondering where the bait and fish had disappeared to. Saturday I found them. I just hope I can find them again next weekend. Stay after them, they're out there!

Nice! Congrats on the fish and the boat! -
I've fished that same run ED! I never had any luck either. -
Glad to hear someone doing well. Fished the north end Saturday and Sunday, 4 hours each. Jigs were attracting a lot of attention, but only followers. They'd come up for about ten feet and go right back to the bottom. Downriggers with spoons and dipsey, spin doctor, fly combos did nothing. Finally went old school pulling copper with a silver flatfish and managed a 28" Laker.

Good for you Ed, broke the cycle! I'm hoping to do the same tomorrow. It's been a pretty lean year so far. -
Good to hear, it's been tough! I'll be trying in the morning.

Great report Ed! Love the pics. I'm guessing DW now knows how much he's appreciated here! Keep em coming bud! Glen -
Nice! The weeds and fleas were the inspiration for me to start jigging in the first place! I've heard it's slowed down up there, I'll find out Saturday morning!

Nice report Ed. I was at work all day, so I'm jealous! Can't wait for the weekend. I'm still having success up north jigging, up to last week anyway. Enough so that I haven't trolled in over a month now. Starting to think about the perch a little as well! Need to find some spots up north or make the run to my old haunts around Lodi.

Congratulations! Fantastic fish and story! -
Well, we should cross paths again then Guff. I still work so I'm generally a weekend warrior, but I'm hoping to be out there both days this week. If the forecast holds up, it should be good!
