Yellow Fever Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Last minute decision this AM to head on the lake proved to be a great call from Jim Lyon. We launched at 10am and were back at the dock at 330. We ran 4 lines, 2 copper rigs and 2 boards with snap weights, all with spoons. With 8 fish in the first hour we knew it was going to be a good day. We pulled lines after another triple header cleaned our spread and headed in finishing 31/38 on the day. Average was easily 11-12lbs and the biggest was 18.5. Speed seemed to matter and needed to be 1.7-1.9 on the gps. Pretty awesome to be fishing open water in January.

Musky Plug Posted January 7, 2021 Report Posted January 7, 2021 Great stuff! I was supposed to go with my brother and his buddy on New Year’s Day. I was in no condition to do anything but they went. Launched at 50 but didn’t do so well. They only went 5/6.
akaShag Posted January 7, 2021 Report Posted January 7, 2021 You need TWO NETS!!!! Or a third guy to be your net man! I would be worried about ice on the launch ramp getting out........ Doug
Yellow Fever Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Posted January 7, 2021 I have 2 nets but with the RS net i have you can take a hook out in seconds so no issue, i checked the ramp before i went out, oddly enough i did have to break ice coming back one day in November, Jan 1st it was wide open. Water temp was 39
akaShag Posted January 7, 2021 Report Posted January 7, 2021 I was thinking that a guy handling both the rod and the net looked pretty tricky, and when you had a double header it looked even trickier. Good thing it is a good-sized boat and for the most part each angler could stay clear of the other. (Even if the second guy really needed that net right now.........) 😉 Doug
Yellow Fever Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Posted January 8, 2021 You sir are right ...it was very tricky and really tiring. hate to say it but we pulled lines 35 minutes before we said we were. we had enough
