Captjimtc Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Got out late Sat. afternoon and had a fantastic day on the water. Went 13 for 15 all brown trout with the biggest being 5 lbs. Fish came in the shallows on Bombers B14's and B15's, Challenger JR. minnows, and F11 Rapalas..Water temp was 39 to 42 degrees and when you found the 42 degrees you found the fish. Worst part was we had one that looked to be about 15 lbs spit the Yozuri at the net... My best start to the brown season in the last 10 years....
Nailer Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 That's great to here Capt Jim. Keep up the good work.
Priority1 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Captain Jim, FANTASTIC. I love the iceout fishing. Is it typical up there not to have a mixed bag?
Captjimtc Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 I have pictures but I didn't have a website link to upload them from they are on my hard drive..
Hoosier_Steelheader Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Nothing like Browns in close... Great report!By the way Capt Jim, I have the Frankfort decal on the back window of my truck..Everyone down here says "Frankfort???" where's that?? I just tell them that's where my sweet Betsie is.
slickwater Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 How fast do you troll for browns this time of year.
Captjimtc Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 We are trolling at 2.5 to 2.8 gps speed. I know it sounds fast but I spent alot of time in the 1.8 to 2.2 range with no takers. We increased speed and starting popping fish. We got out this evening and went 6 for 7 with 3 steelies and 3 browns. Wasn't as good as Sunday but still pretty decent fishing.
