Great day yesterday

[SirCranksalot]

Started dark and early---just enough light to see when we launched my friend Jim's 14 footer. Calm 'seas', just 1 more boat so far. Marked quite a few as we trolled 60-80 ft of water. Started with smallish body baits. I switched to Fire Tiger after about an hr and hit the first fish shortly thereafter. Jim switched to a similar color and hit several more. By the 'end of the day'---prob around 10 AM we had landed 7 and missed 2. It gradually became quite busy and Cap'n Jim got tired of dodging boats so we packed it in.

Nice fish! Thanks for the pics.

Nice!!!   I need to make it out that way, heard the fishing has been great since ice out.   How was the traffic mid week?   

[SirCranksalot]

See my last sentence!  Mind you, Jim has little patience with crowds. He tends to seek out secluded spots---he's a canoeist, what more can I say??

 

( I guess I can hijack. my own thread. What's your friend Borgerman up to these days? Some of Jim's buds are trying to talk him into a trip to the Sutton. I just sent him a link to MB's canoe trip report. I couldn't find any on his Dusey Lodge trip---just a foretaste here on OFC)

I doubt he'll be back to the Sutton anytime soon.  Lots of stuff going on in his personal life unfortunately.

[SirCranksalot]

Any luck? One of my friends has a boat on Lake O but says it's still to early?

I was going to try fishing from the pier but the water was too muddy. No boat yet

Things should be heating up on the southern shore.  I know guys are starting to get into some chinooks.
