Hit the Apple island launch this morning at 6am with Raz and DA. It was frosty but the sunrise was beautiful and the propane heater was set to High. We set up right out of the launch with a set of 2 riggers with cheaters 2 slide divers and 2 lead core off inline planer boards. We had not made our 1st pass up the cow banks when a planer rod with 3 colors of lead fired. With the water temp at 48.9 surface and 48.8 all the way to 65 the fish could be anywhere;)

All in all we boated 12 fish by 11:30 with 3 browns, 8 salmon and a huge pike who hit 40 down on a magnum rainbow honey bee. He fought for 15 min and stayed down like a big brown.... we had high hopes till we say green...

The pike was 32” and clean as a whistle... good to see this species clean, they have had a hard few years..

Wind picked up around 9 but we stayed warm in the heated cab and smacked on peanut butter crackers and Venny sticks from Cowboy.

The crew had afternoon commitments so we picked at 11:30am. Did see one other troller out there... a newer princecraft... was is an walleye Andre sighting??? We may never know... he was running. Stealth with no antenna..

Great day and great company. Thanks guys...

Fun times for sure! Thanks Reelax and DA...
Anyone familiar with that Sutton #50 shown above?? I've had it for quite a while...it's changed colors often and I have no idea where I got it??? We started calling it the "dick-head".

That sure is inspiring! I've been poking around the IS a bit lately-- Mostly just for an hour here and there in the afternoon. I wasn't even sure there was anything to catch

A great day for sure with the Tres Amigos.

All fish were yearlings (15-17) but fun on light gear. Looks like it could be a promising spring if these beauties eat well this winter.

Great fishing fellas, thanks

DA
