Went out in am for 3 1/2 hour fish on cousins family 26' Tiara. Fairly newcomers to big lake fishing. Brought a couple of cores, and 2 coppers. Ended up having no downriggers working, blowing fuse with no spares. Went 5-7 taking fish in 150-170, and 1 in 210. 4 on old Hammertime spoon on 7 color, 1on 300 copper MS Happy meal and coho on full core Jaggerbomb.. 4 5-8 lb. kings, 1 shaker king, and 2 lb. coho.

Took cousin and friend back out on the 17 1/2' Lund in afternoon and fished from 120 to 220 SW troll almost to Holland. Nothing. Picked up and ran back to PS and set up in 140. Worked 128-140 with north troll going 7 for 10. 300 copper, 225 copper, 7 color, rigger 120 and 95 down caught fish with MS mags, DW White glow with pink dots, hammertime and met. green froggie spoons took fish. 2 on chrome/blue spinney w/ blue/pearl fly. Picked up speed and things went crazy. SOG was 3.2 with rigger wires 40-45 degrees and humming.

Great day battling 0-5" waves.

Eric, thanks for the report. Sounds like a great time on the lake. What went crazy after your speed change?

To Clyde. Went from 2.6-2.8 to 3.2-3.5 and rods started popping.
