Mexico Bay 4/12

[byoung62]

We went out Saturday morning and gave the boats a shakedown cruise.  Everything went well. Our boat went 14/16. With 12 brownies and 2 steelies. One Steelie just came out of the creek and tipped the scale at about 15 pounds. Not much size on the browns though. Our biggest was 8 pounds or so. Lots and lots of footballs. We were out between catfish and otter creeks.  Fished in 8-22 foot water the larger fish came in a little in the deeper water. Gin clear everywhere with the South wind for a few days It would of been great to find some color. The other boat left the launch and head east. They went 20/22 again mostly browns, a couple small steelies. WE had a big fish calcutta challenge for lunch and thanks to the big steelie we ate well!!! thanks for lunch boys!!! Quality over quantity boys Your typical thunderstick and smithwick spread browns and copper colored early, silver & blue and silver and black in the afternoon.

We also got out Saturday morning, caught 19 browns, a small steelhead a one laker. Biggest brown was just under 13 pounds, but had some terrible lamprey marks on both sides. At 11:30 we headed out to 70' of water and caught the lake trout.
