Set lines at 6 AM in 60 FOW. 9 for about 13 or 14 in the next two hours, rarely getting all six lines in. Neverr had to worry about setting any more. All kings between 6# and 10#. 3 came on full core with Pro-King mag double orange crush, 3 came on full core with bloody nose mag glow, 1 came on DW blue whale glow down 55 on rigger, 2 on mag glow spotted something down 45 and all the misses were off the riggers with various spoons. Stayed in 60-70 FOW range. Back at ramp by 8:45. Great day on the lake, conditions were excellent and the fish are there. Taking a grandson and pal along tomorrow. That ought to be interesting!

Last house on Prairiewood Drive before you get to the course clubhouse. South of the Mobil station.

Ran same program this AM with my grandson and his friend aboard. They did a great job, letting me land one fish off a dipsy, while they caught, netted and reset everything else. 9 for about 13 or 14 again in the same area as yesterday. Fish from 5# to 10# but today 5 of the 9 came off downriggers. Glow spoons in blue, bloodynose did most of the catching with a double orange pro king taking one. One fish off full core and 3 off dipsy/white with green spinny/green glow fly combo. Downriggers were hot the first hour, then a hour of rest and straightening out the gear, then the last three fish came off the dipsys in about a 45 minute span. Back at the ramp at 10 AM, home by 11, fish cleaned with the boys help by 12:30. They really enjoyed the great day of fishing and catching, almost as much as I did watching them operate.

Nice job on the fish Duane!

I live around 1 mile from you. Take Jefferson road to 21st street. A half mile down on 21st street on the right side, there is a paved road(Pleasantview Drive) between two white picket fences. I am the first house on the right.
