Milwaukee 9/9 and 9/12

[jimcr]

We were out on Thursday and that stinky skunk was tossed out right at the end of our trip with 2 shakers. This one and another smaller one , can't get much smaller than this.

Now back at the present, Left McKinley around 6:15 , after the last couple of trips with little to show decided to go out deep. Headed northeast to 125ft of water and worked out to 150. Found a small area the fish were bitting , first fish came about 730am in 144FOW an 11lb rainbow , then about every 30 to 45 minutes as we were going west we would pick up another one. Mixed bag today missed the grand slam by one , all we needed was 1 King . Not to be had by us today though. ended the day with 1 Rainbow ,2 Coho, 1 Lake trout, and 1 Brown. The lake laid flat by 9am so we went all the way out to 200ft, Glass flat out there. Last fish came in 175FOW . We were able to run wide open on the return trip about 12 miles, how often does that happen ? Take a look at one of the pictures here it show us in 200fow, is that bait scattered or just interference. 4 out of the five fish came on Jp Slammers, just recieved my package on Friday. Jimmy is right they really slam these things.

We ran 3 of them and each one fired at least once on our trip . I am not that familiar with the names yet an orange one and the watermellon and one that looks like cracked ice. I can't wait till next summer when the kings are really active , I think these will be the cats butt. So Jimmy I will be ordering more of these before Christmas.

Jim the speed on the FF is 1.91 sog. Is that from a wheel on the transducer? Are you using a gps? What speed are you trolling on your gps?

Nice mix of fish there.

Not a bad catch Jim. Dad and I fished this morning and ended up 3 for 4 with our biggest being a 6 pound laker. Fishing has really died off for a while now. I heard they are still getting them way out though.

Yea I tried hailing you on the radio this morning but no answer, didn't think I was going out that deep , just kept looking for more coho and steelhead. From what I heard on the radio and saw at the cleaning shack not much being caught . 2-3 fish was all .You might want to try those Jp Slammers from Jimbobber(Jimmy) of all the spoons I ran only one Dreamweaver spoon took a fish. You all done chartering this year? I may do a couple of trips next year, May and maybe Late June or mid july. So keep a space for my group. Like to get into the Coho and Perch in the spring.

Nice work on the mixed bag Jim! That little guy from Thursday night must have had quite the appetite.

Nice catch Jim:thumb: That is one tiny little salmon. Hard to believe they will chase something close to their own size:eek:

Ya Jim, we're done for the season. Given the salmon a break to chase whitetails. Give me a call early next spring and we'll set it up.
