We decided to try a different port this time out , first time to I-bay .The better half and I headed out  at 5am to the 150 water where we found ice water, 42 degrees in front of the smoke stacks and trolled northeast , riggers started firing right off , 55& 65 ft. down , moo moo cut bait rig with familiar bite Herring was the winner for sure but wire dipsy out 225 with  white /green flasher and Pro- am fly was the other good producer as well . Boxed out with Kings 8- 17 pounds , two Lakers 12 and 15 pounds and some skippys that were sent back all before 9:30 . Bite died down after that and the  jet skis started coming out so we headed in , fun  morning for us !

Have to give all the LOU members a big thank you for all the freely shared information as it surely takes a lot of the learning curve out of this big lake fishing .

You found 42 degree ice water on top? Did we have a recent upwelling?

 

Thanks for any input,

Great morning of fishing! Congrats. What was your down speed that seemed to connect? We have been seeing it fluctuate between 2.6- 3.0

Chris , Found ice water about 50'  down in an area about a square mile .

Trolling speed was best for us at 2.2 to 2.3 that day .

The double stacks or maybe they're not , were just west of Rochester ?? First time in the area .
