trollperchsand? Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Set up @ 6:45 am in 65 foot went out to 115, best depth for us was 85 Went 6 for 8 4 small kings (small kings were on riggers w/ spoons) 1 nice sized three yr old king on braid (no dipsey, on a walley board w/ a thin fish, no I'm not kidding..., thats the one the bird sitting on last but not least 1 laker on a tin can w/ blue mirage fly We had a nice hitchhiker for most of the morning, ate every bug on my boat! Not really hot and heavy action, but the lake was flat, the sun came out and were able to put some fish in the boat.
GLF Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Nice job Chris. I have had one of those on my boat before. What kind of bird are they?
trollperchsand? Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 Its some kind of Warbler, this bird was great. It ate a dead bug out of one of our hands, it landed on my shoulder, it was like it was tame. It was sitting on one of the rods when it went off, and it took off and flew right back to the boat and sat on the rigger. We couldn't believe it. If we would have hit our limit I think I would have had to capture him and make him my mascot.

Fishwhisperer Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I believe the bird is a Yellow-Bellied Flycatcher. They are on a migration south. We had one try to land on a rod Saturday. It decided that landing in the water was easier. Later on, a Herring Gull make a quick lunch of it.
trollperchsand? Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 Sounds like the correct name for the bird...I would let one fish w/ me anytime, would come in handy on the days that the flies are bad.
