silver one Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Fished Southaven today with my Father in Law and two of his good friends, Gary and Jack. Ended up 12 for 16 with the loss of one led core fising rig to the Ice water Mansion in big lake Gichagumee.Dont ask! Like Forest Gump says,( IT HAPPENS.). Next was the almost loss of a 30lb copper rig. Gary is a very tall gentleman with extremly long arms. Had the wire go off and when he went to grab the rod his elbow pulled a 30lb copper on a board out of the rod holder and into the drink. With the fish still on Gary started realing and after a few minutes I saw that he had also snagged the rig. Ok. so now were hauling a wire dipsey set at 200 with 8" prochip flasher and yougurt fly, Hooked up to a rod and real with 300' of copper and a walley board hooked to It. I grabbed the rig from Gary and prayed to the gods that this was not going to come off. The Mono on the copper had grabbed the snubber on the dipsey and was able to bring it all in Including a 7lb laker.Wow. Can this get anymore stressful. So the set went like this Fished straight out 80 to 130 Best depth was 105 to 115. Troll was tough with a west current but Noth troll was best. 25s to 28s on the gps. 2 kings on fullcore yellowtail streak 2 king on swr rig on rigger 90 down. 3 kings on 30 lb 300 copper cripple alwife streak. 2 kings on wire dipsey with blue bubble spindoctor and get ya some Yogurt fly 180 back on set on 2.5 2 kings and 1 laker on wire dipsey 8" green protroll with Canadian Kethcup yogurt fly 200 back set at 2.5. Best speed was 2.7 on the gps.
