westrate Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 8/19/2007This past week was an up and down week. One charter would produce 30 hits and 10 fish and then the PM trip would only produce 8 hits but 6 fish. In the morning your graph would look like the forth of July fireworks show with arc after arc and large orange areas of bait. Then in the afternoon it looked like a different lake with very few fish marked and mostly blue screen. Early in the week, we fished in 130 to 180 foot of water and then after the blow on Friday the fished moved into 50 to 70 foot of water when the lake cooled down with strong east winds Saturday and Sunday. As you can see very little was consistent last week. The one consistent item was the quality of the fish. The fish appear large and very healthy. The best method this past week was dipsy divers at 140 to 160 foot of wire on the high divers and 80 to 120 foot of wire on the low divers. Hot Chip and Pro Chip flashers (silver on silver, green/glow, white/glow, green on silver, blue/glow) and Rapture Trolling Flies (wild fern, green hypnotist, oceana, blue bird). The same combinations were run on the downriggers, however, this was not as productive as the divers. We also ran copper lines (100, 150, 200 and 300 foot) with Stinger Stingray lures (NBK, caramel dolphin, wonderbread glow) and Stinger Nitro glow spoons (ET, and Wonderbread). These produced well, especially the glow spoons early in the morning. Check back and find out what happens this upcoming week.

Priority1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks for the report Capt. Sometimes different circumstances lead to the same result. Love them Dipsys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
