Well i've been lurking on the posts taking it all in. Just wanna thank everyone for helping me with my first fish. Had a good morning lines wet at 0630 launched out of taunghanock park and went North alittle stayed in 250-380FOW running downriggers at 80-100 ft down, with flasher fly and flasher/squid. had a good couple hookups but lost them near the boat. then at 0800 i hooked up this nice laker!( IMO) he put up a good fight and i was able to land him(i need a bigger net). He was 31inches and i guess 12-15lbs. got him on the purple squid which remained hot that morning taking 2 other rainbows. had my hands full dodging weed balls like they where landmines . All in all had a blast i'm finally getting the hang of it. Would like to learn the tricks of the trade from anyone needing a partner. i have time and would pitch in for gas!! thanks
