Port Sheldon 5/29 and 5/30


Recommended Posts

Couldn't ask for better weather, could have had better fishin.

Sat Am - brought the wife and son, left the dock around 7am, fished till 11. Bounced around 110 FOW out to 160, in to 80 FOW, south of the pier. 10 AM - ONE 5lb brown trout - Harrison's first! Quite proud and was tasty - stuffed on the bbq Sat. night. Caught 90 FOW, 80' downrigger on a free slider spoon, unknown name - blue, green, red, and a glow tree on it.

Sunday AM - brought along H and a couple of rookies as well. Started the day out with forgetting to put the plug in the boat - real confidence builder for the rookies when I had to take care of that first. Boogied out to 120 FOW South of pier head, dragged everything and the kitchen sink out to 165 and all the way in to 50 FOW. Ended up 3 for 3 - all fish came after 10:30 am. 10 Year old boy caught his first fish, what else, but ANOTHER brown, #3, spoiled him for life! First 2 brown trout in the whaler, both on slow fishing weekend, go figure that! Put the other brown on the gril last night too. 5# king and a shaker we dragged around were the rest.

Sunday brown came on an old school Halloween spoon (orange front w/ black an silver stripe, chartreuse back. 60 FOW, Fixed slider 45' down. Shaker king on mixed veggie 5 color, other king was on a pink and blue spoon, 75' copper dipsy - that was exciting and close!

Will need to figure out how to downsize the photo sizes and post some brown pics of the boys.
