We floated with calm conditions and barely a ripple and motored across the pond to setup. We started with 4 riggers and 2 slide divers and swapped out a diver for lead core though out the day The best sets hit between 20 and 30ft down. Best spoons were blue moon and rainbow speedy shiners.
We had a full 3 course feast that had marinated venison, garlic butter bread sticks and baked potatoes slices with salt, pepper, butter and onions. This was one of the most enjoyable home cooked meals we have ever had on the boat
Well the grill was used to peak the bite. And wow did it work. Before we could eat…half the rods all fired one after another, we boated tripples with 2 of 3 being salmon! What a flurry of activity. Experienced crew never missed a beat and the fish never had a chance.
Fun to watch the young bald eagles on split rock point watch us for the laker releases and try to swoop down to time a meal over and over. We felt like a fishing team after while;)
After a while digitroll motored out, and around 9am Reg came out with his vhf greeting we have all
Come to love and expect when he launches;)
Once the salmon chop picked up around 11 the action got better and we settled into an area of water that kept active.
Fight of the day was a salmon that hit and went on a big run followed by a major fight that took me 15 min to win… Ended up being a nice salmon that was hooked right below the dorsal fin allowing him to pull the line like a tow truck:) he had his way with me for a while, but I got him in the end
Around 230 we decided that we had had enough and we didn’t have anything else to cook, so we pulled em;)
Today was 1/2 salmon and 1/2 lakers and both have great fights…
Thanks for the great time and epic stories and laughs guys!
Fish on!
