Big Reef 6/5

[A-Fishy-Anado]

Took a nice 30 mile run to the big reef today with a couple of buddies to do a little scouting for the Grand Marais lake trout tournament coming up in a couple of weeks. Guaranteed 4k first place prize:eek: Big money for a 30 boat trout tournament!!

Got out and just ran around the shallows near the drops watching the graph and didn't mark much at all. Dropped down in each set of marks and caught a couple to a few in the 6-10 lb range and kept pulling up and searching for the big boys and found that we didn't have enough cable on the riggers to get to them in 5-600' of water. They either have not come up yet or just decided to stay down today, but it is early yet. All in all it was a fun run and boated and released somewhere around 15-20 fish. Any spoon we tried worked and picked up a couple on musky torpedo divers that we had bouncing bottom in 130' with 300' of line out. Here are a couple of pics of the sunrise and a couple of the nicer fish we caught.
