I don’t eat fish! If it was a pizza I would have gladly taken it home.

Hi Dave I will take lot 10. Text me when you’re around and I’ll come pick them up.

It’s too bad they don’t take to the lake well. Although we catch a dozen or so every year they are seldom mature. Having one come flying out of the water 30 feet from the boat is wild.

Another incredible morning. Solo trip (plus the dog) line in at 7:30 and out at 10:30. Over a dozen browns with a few over 10. Worked mostly 30-35 feet of water and had surface temp up to 51 degrees. Water color was perfect. Highlight of the morning was a stud of an Atlantic crushing a Two Face Glow parked at 25 feet down. Pretty sure it’s my new PB. Launched out of the water a half dozen times and swam away strongly after a quick pic.

That’s fantastic! Brian must have been happy about the lakers!

Dickey and I had lines in at 8:30 and pulled at 11:30. Water was 47.5 in 20 to 25 feet of water with good color. Riggers at 10 and 15 and Chinook Divers out 20 and 30. Boards were out 100 but never took a hit. Ended up with 10 Browns and a King. Beautiful morning.

That’s fantastic!

Twice in the past cats decided my boat was theirs and duly marked their territory. Twice the problem was resolved without recidivism. Surprisingly one was collared and neutered. Hopefully we can cast and blast soon.

Quick trip with Persistence this morning. Lines in at 7am and out at 10:30. Fished 15-20 feet of water. Lots of floating crap made it hard to keep lures and riggers clean but it was manageable. Riggers back 30 and down 8 and 12. One with a standard size Wonder Bread the other standard size Two Face Glow. Four board rods pulling orange and chartreuse jointed Rapalas. Ended up with 8 Browns, the biggest one just over 10lbs. Temps ranged from 45 to 47 and color was good.

They released Atlantic’s in Sandy last weekend. Friend sent me a pic of the dock just upstream of my boat. Sucks.

It’s scattered though and you have to find the pockets holding better water. The fish we cleaned were stuffed with jumbo size alewife.

Surprisingly the lake was very nice this morning, didn’t start to blow until around 10:30. Better class of Browns than we found yesterday and some good Kings including one pushing 18lbs. Sticks took some fish but spoons on divers and riggers did better. Spent the morning between 20 and 25 feet of water.

Fun morning with Legacy and Lake Runner. Good class of Browns and Kings. Mostly 15-20 feet of water, warmest we saw was 44 degrees. Fair amount of boats out and based on net movement it looked like everyone was having a good day.

Sold

Yep swivel bases included!

Two older Mag 10A electric downriggers. Come ready to go with swivel mounts. They go up and down but are slow (the way the older ones were) and can’t use weights over 10lbs (at least I never did with them). Short arms. pick up only in North Greece. $100 cash firm. DM if you want them, will answer in order they come in.

My father’s last boat burned between 120 and 200 gallons of diesel per hour while on plane. We were frequently fishing 100 miles or more offshore for days. I remember logging over 700 nautical miles in a weekend tournament. Full send for what we do on Lake O. Gas prices are the least of our worries. That being said if I was a charter boat I might be spending more time taking a look inside.

Pretty sure they are freshly stocked, not spawning.

Had another visitor this morning. Still have a few days to go

That’s great!
