Good to hear someone got into them today...... we put a lot of water time in , lots of fun BSing , but never had a rod fire with a fish we got a piece of...... did have a few releases but never got a feel of a fish..... had fun Justin we'll have to do it again and hope it's catching next time.........
Thanks guys...... back in wind and black clouds sent me scurrying back to Lodi.....man can this boat honk...... we beat the worst of the wind .......... .....
Ok water is 66 to 67 on top.............66 to 67 @ 55 feet down .......... picked up a bow 71' down off probe rigger and a small laker @ 83 down off other rigger ....both on spoons FLT ..... perch pattern for the bow and a test spoon for the laker.... had a lite tap popped rod and nothing going almost to Samson by then..... when the wind picked up made turn to troll back but didn't like how the wind was picking up and the sky to the west..... wettest ride I've had back but with windsheild and cover above it only got a drop or two on us...... ..... trolling speed at the ball from 2.4 to 2.7.............
Not a fair test you would be a tad bias ....... give me a yell I'll test taste them for you...... you may have to do up 3 or 4 pounds so I can be totally fair and sure............
I did some of that last year but didn't have a clue what I was doing...... I would think if you have a good rig for walleye that get's perch now and then I'd try that...... hope to give it a try in my new ride before the end of my season....
I was thinking about it also Les could see the waves from my deck at camp and went back in and made more coffee.......... Good for you getting out better than these fair-weather-fisher-people Iron Duke talks about !!!!! ........also sounds like you got the fish-hook fleas over there also BIG , P.I.T.A.
I had a 15 hp Mercy tiller handle it was mounted like your set-up, the handle would tilt also with a little adjustment I could tilt the motor out of water getting prop out also by moving motor and tiller handle. It would be under some getting up on plane but then be fine......
The side currents have been like that off and on most of the season....... my best guess is so much rain raising lake level so they let a bunch out and we see it in the down currents.......... then more rain and the same deal again, and again..............
We went to BassPro today then on in to Skaneateles and down close to Homer to see Sodbuster and his better half....... back here and Mark's pizza & wings....... guess we mite try a little fishing in the am for some thing different to do.....
Here a little picture story of the trip today .....got to try out the adjustment on one of the transducers worked much better..........
Pete waiting for a rod to fire.... eagle looking for fish also.... put the fishfinder in the front of the boat he says turn right..... guess not turn left..... Nope HARD left...... wore Pete out ...... looks like he's ready for a nappy...... we had one hit , I passed the rod to Pete and we lost the fish !!!!
