Legacy Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Left the dock this morning and headed west of Newman's point. We set up in about 12 fow and headed east. With the waves out of the west and the 25-30 mph wind out the southwest trolling speed was an issue. Once we got our speed figured out we quickly boated our first fish of the day. A 8# brownie that took a renegade stick off the planer board in about 10 fow out in front of the "woods". The fish managed to tangle 2 downrigger lines and 1 line off the opposite planer board (what a mess). We spent alot of time today fighting the wind and the waves. We did end the day 3 for 4 all brownies and all on the same stickbait. We lost one on a stinger (irish car bomb) off the rigger 4'down and 50' back. The other boats i talked to all seemed to do about the same. A fair amount of boats out this morning but most got blow off the lake by 8:30-9:00.
DIRTY DOG Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 nice job ,also what dos the irish car bomb look like.
Legacy Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 Dirty Dog,Irish car bomb is a monkeyshine. It earned its nickname due to the fact that one day noone on board knew the name of the spoon that was putting all the fish in the boat. Because of its color and the success we had, the name just stuck.
