Killin' It Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 ok... shake down part 3.... Well I can almost call it a non shake down as the only problem I ran into was using the med. release pinch pads, they dont pop well in 5 FOW. None the less after re mounting my trees last night till midnight, I slept in till 7:30. I stopped and filled up the gas tank for the kicker , all .5 gallons of it and I was off to pick up my father in law. After a cup of coffee and a breif wait at the launch we set lines in the channel and worked our way out to 40 FOW trying to drag up a laker or two, sadly it didnt work. Now that we got ourselfs back on track we headed for the skinny water and got the boat positioned on the inside sandbar (5 FOW) 3 hours later we were 3-3 with 3 NICE browns. 12#, 8#, 6# 2 fish came on thin fish copper/pink 1 fish came on a UV Jointed storm firetiger minnowstick We found water from 37 all the way to 43 on the sandbars and marked 2 piles of bait in 10 FOW. We ran 30 foot leads from the boards to the lures (if that helps any) Here is what you all have been waiting for
DocPaul Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Nice Browns, looks like your shakedown times 3 is paying off.
Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Nice brownies guys, thanks for sharing the moments of success.
wild at heart Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 way to go Dave, we got 1 fri am just over 8. some nicer browns around for a change.
Killin' It Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 Fished from 6-8:30 tonight.....1-2 Lake was dead flat calm.... trolled in close for an hour, with nothing going.Swung out to 40 FOW and dropped 2 riggers down on the bottom for anything that may be lurking. (IE laker) and took a hit on a Brads mini cut plug packed with tuna.10 minutes later we boxed a 3# coho. Trolled for 20 more minutes and went home.It was a great night on the water with my wife and friends.Interesting fact of the day is the water temp in close went up 6 degees today on the same section of water I fished this morning. Dave
Killin' It Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 All the brows we have caught are full of BAIT.... Looks like a good mix of Gobys and some small bait fish, maybe perch?
