GLF Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Final tally, 3 for 4.We left the dock at 6am this morning. We hit the lake around 6:20am, and it looked like a parking lot the day after Thanksgiving. Most of the boats were slightly to the North. We motored out to 45FOW and started setting lines. I had just finished setting the first rigger and grabbed a second rod to set, when the first rigger fired. This was on a #4 Monkey Puke J-Plug. This was a nice 14lb hen.There was too many boats in shallow, so we continued West. We picked up our second fish in 80FOW on a Michigan Stinger magnum Glow Dolphin. This was on a rigger set at 35'Our next fish came in 105FOW on a full core with a Michigan Stinger magnum NBK.Our last hit came on an East troll in 95FOW on a 6 color core with a Moonshine Hi-NRG. We lost this one.We pulled lines at 11:00 and came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks for the report. I really appreciate your thoroughness. I hope to get out this Monday, late afternoon. I don't look forward to the parking lot you described. I will get out in deeper water too. My downrigger bases finally arrived Friday, but I won't have them installed till next week. Then the serious fishing begins. The threads on this site have been so helpful in my neophyte education process. I appreciated your encouragement to get on other boats to learn in this way. I would like to do that some before next summer.Tight lines to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohotroller Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 We fished 9-1 also and had an awesome morning. Poor landing % but lots of fish gioing 3 for 10 or so. Fished 25' of water and less south of the piers. Water temp inside south piers ranged 57-59 so we set up there. We were the only boat in that tight so could run 2-3 color lead with J's and blue/green dolphins. Also rigger down 12' with Dolphin took fish. Set lines at 5:30, bite was done when the sun came up.

Priority1 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 GJ GLF and Coho. It's a blast just to hook up a King. Sometimes the fish win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
