Jacques - good chatting with you today on the radio. Sounds like you guys did well with some sizeable lakers and some salmon too !

My daughter and I ended up with 1 small (13") salmon, 2 lakers (18"-20"), and 3 big white perch. Plus another laker we lost at the net. The white perch were not doing well - one came up with its innards sticking out of its mouth and the other 2 were bloated, seems like the sudden pressure drop coming up from 80 feet down made them explode on the inside, or maybe they got hernias fighting while being dragged around - all were hitchikers were on the hook for who knows how long.

Anyway, what a gorgeous day to be out on the lake, hope to see you back here when the water is cooler and the bigger coldwater fish are biting more.
I do not exaggerate when I talk about fishing - I underestimate, like I say "just one more cast honey, then I'll come home" !
Keep Calm and... Fish On !

So this is my second time trying to post about the weekend. The first one took 30 min. about then it vanished. So you are going to get the shorter version.

There was going to be 4 of us on this trip but one guy had to cancel do to covid in his house. I went solo Saturday and had my buddy Kevin with me Sunday and my other buddy Jeremy "The Wobbly Moose" went solo Sunday.

Hit the ramp Saturday around 6:30 Jigged up one small laker about 10" near Thompsons. Then started trolling there and picked up another laker 18". Moved to Split rock and headed south picked up 2 lakers around 20" went all the way to Snake den. Motored up to Whallon to have lunch with my buddys on The Wobbly Moose.

We then headed up towards Willsboro on the way I stopped and chatted with Reelax on the radio to see how he did for the morning. We started outside and worked in the bay. There was a lot of bait and fish outside not much inside. I picked up 2 lakers there biggest was 23".

Motored back south before dark and started just north of Sloop picked up a 10" silver. That was it for the day. Lots of bait and fish around Sloop before dark A LOT!

Sunday same start time. Started at Sloop worked to Thompsons picked up the first fish of the day at Picket 25" laker it was my buddy Kevin's P.B. Picked up another laker at Split rock then a 12" silver just south of Split, and got our final laker a little further south.

Saturday all lakers came on a Crazy Ivan lure Blue and Silver rigger @75. Silver came on the cheater stinger neon green/pink w/purple dots. Sunday Mooselook wobbler silver and blue, the same stinger as the day before and another pink and purple stinger 40-100'.

It was nice to chat with you guys on the radio hopefully I will get to meet some of you soon.
