I-Bay 6/28 6/29 Thompson gunner


Recommended Posts

Fished east of I-Bay on Saturday evening. Started in about 150 and worked out to 225. Fairly slow with one steelie and one coho. Both came on a Silver Horde spoon on 7 colors of lead. Don't know the name, just green and orange with silver in the middle. Had 3 or 4 releases with nobody home on the same spoon.

 

Sunday we went straight north from the bay and dropped the lines around 240 fow at about 5:45am. Screen was pretty barren. Moved out deeper and hit a 13lb and change king in 390 fow 57 down on a rigger with some spoon I have never seen before. A Larry special from the 80's. Black on the back with a fire tiger type pattern on the front. Everything was slow for awhile so we moved west towards Braddocks. We took a good hit on carbon 14 on 300' of copper in 250 fow but no one home. Eventually made our way back toward shallower water. Found a nice pocket of lakers in 135 fow on the bottom and ran a laker program for the remainder. Did 5 lakers between 5 and 10 lbs on chartreuse cowbells and peanuts. 6 for 8 on the day with lakers saving our butts. Once again I do not have the pictures but I'm sure I will soon.

 

The flies were many and merciless.

Ha. They really can be. Especially on evening runs.

Thanks for the report. Hope the lake sets up soon. We went 2 for 2 yesterday and weren't up for chasing lakers so packed it in at 9:30. Nice to know they are there, but I don't have anything that looks like a cowbell or peanuts on the boat.

I just invested in some cowbells, hpoe to try them out when they come in

We were laughing on the boat about the fact that anything besides a sunfish would actually hit something that equates to half of a circus peanut. I wonder who thew first person to run one of those cowbell/peanut rigs was.
