Day 2 we were met with some pretty nasty wind. Caught 4 salmon before we got the bright idea to make a run on the broad lake.... we did it, but I thought a buddy was going to loose a meal for almost 3 hours, but he wanted to stick it out.. We picked away at the lakers for most of the day. boated 16. everything came from the bottom or up 10 feet off the bottom. we spent most of our time in 40-70 feet of water. I don't think we had a spoon that out produced another. It sounds like a lot of fish, and while I am very happy with the numbers, we put in 13 hours on the boat that day...
Morning 3 we went all in on salmon. Hit the lake by 530 and found fish pretty quick. Beat that pattern pretty hard, boating 9 missing a handful of others. Watched a lot of other boats catching! As the morning went on the sun got high and showed itself a bit too much.... that changed things up.... On the move to new water and changed spoons to some that were a bit more flashy with the brighter sun. The wonderbread needlfish was a killer in the morning!
Found a few bait balls and beat the living hell out of them!!! Put another 9 in the boat with a bonus brown. Bumped into Reelax and crew out there which is always fun! Good to talk with a few people I haven't been very good at keeping in contact with...
Finished the day with 18 fish to the boat with about 1/2 dozen misses. Cheaters fired 8 times! They are fun, something we cant use in NH... Off the water at 2pm.
I sure love this lake!! I cant wait until Memorial day weekend, bringing my girls up. I hope I can keep them occupied long enough for them to catch their first salmon!!!
I hope all that fished the DYP had some good luck!! Here are some pics...
