The good reports from NB forced me to give it a shot today, rain or not. Raining when we left Otsego at 5:30 AM. Quit by time we got to NB. Set up in 20 FOW just outside of Pierheads. 4 lines on big boards, 4 d/r. Alewives all over the river pool. Jumping right into the motor well! Fished 20-35 FOW in the river water at 46 degrees. Not a bump except two alewives on Pro King spoons. Moved out fishing to 57 FOW where we picked up our first fish at 10:30. Worked that area until 3 PM. Ended up 16 for 25. Had a tough time keeping 'em on with the nasty cross chop and some mistakes we made. Had our three man limit plus one 13-14# laker which went back in the lake, and did not survive. What a waste. Tried our best to keep it in the water and unhook it there but we finally had to net it.

11 fish off d/r 7', 12', 22' and 25' down. Plus the laker at 45' down. Moved this up to 25' to help keep us away from anymore lakers. Orange crush ProKing regular size took 2, ProKing Dirty Harry Mag took 2 fish, rest came on thinfish tiger red and thinfish Gold/Orange. Fish off boards back 100', two came on thinfish tiger red and two on Rapala pink and white with a feathered back hook. What ever that is has worked pretty well for us this spring. Tough fishing today but a nice box. Water temp out of river water was 42.

Nice job sticking it to em!:) Sounds like a fun day with plenty of fish to clean at the end. Bummer on the laker. We had one sunday that i released off the side of the boat that got whacked by a rigger cable. :rolleyes:

Nice job of catching Duane! I believe the Rapala you are referring to is a x-rap, and the color is called Hot Pink.

Thats kind of like finishing Thanksgiving dinner, and then try to eat desert right away. Theres no room left in your stomache, so you drift away from the food table for a little bit, and then head back for desert in an hour. :P
