GLF Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Well I have been chomping at the bit since I put my boat in the water a week ago Monday to go fishing. After work yesterday, it was time to do the shake down. I met Greg and his son at the boat, and we were on our way around 4:15pm. The boat ran like a top! We ran almost to Palisades, turned around, and ran almost 1/2 mile North of the piers and dropped in to start setting lines on a South troll. The first fish was a lake trout on a clown colored x-rap on a high line. The lake trout was returned to the water. The second fish was a jack on a chrome and blue #9 Husky Jerk on a high line. The third fish was a brown trout on a blue and chrome thin fin on a high line. The last fish was another jack on a stinger size craig's x-mas on a rigger parked at 8' and 75' behind the ball. All of our fish came from 10-23' FOW. We pulled lines at 7:30pm to head in. It was a beautiful day to be on the lake, other than someone having the wind machine turned on hi! Not bad for 2 hours of feeshing!

Priority1 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Mike, Great Shakedown trip. It's always good to get the first one behind you. The fish are a great bonus.
