Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: Total Boated: Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: Down Speed: Boat Depth: Lure Depth: ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Well for my 2 nd trip to the lake this YEAR it wernt too bad.. Fri started with a great meal at ABE,s I tell ya he has a good chef...so i snuck to the water at sunset and found some 3 to 4 ftrs and 1 small6 lb brown ..wasnt really fishing just threw down 2 rods and wanted to have a look a bout with the fish finder and watch the sun set.. Sat we got out before sunrise another Important (sunrise) part of my fishing trips,must be getting old ... well im loosin my touch for good reports due to memory loss..but we did manage to scrape about 20 fish 1/2 kings and 1/2 lakers..found some good water just west of maxwell in 120 to 150 fow... Sunday we were greeted by another great sunrise as we motered to where we left off sat was a tad slow and the bite was a hit and run for a few hours with some landed it was perfect salmon chop with a wind strong enuf to have to run the main motor to head into it...thats when i noticed my amp guage was at 10 volts well a quick call to my "boat Doc" Hank L&M repair had me wackin the alternator with a stick and bingo the sticky brushes gave me my juice back ,WITH A RESPONSE OF RAY IF YOU NEED ILL FIRE UP MY BOAT AND COME GET YA ON THE WATER..Yes Hank is a dying breed willin to take part of his day to drop everything and help a friend and customer...Yer a GREAT MAN POPS.!!!!!! Thank You.. anyways we stuck to the 130ish fow line with the thermo(VERY SHARP THERMO) close to 100 ft down i love it when 10 ft can make a 20 deg diff.in temp. really puts the wedge on the fish and easy fishing (no brainer) for us old farts (no sharts this trip Musky) had some cool inversions and currents ..a real good teachin senerio for the newer guys for these conditions.. never got any derby fish (had a tad over 10 laker) worth killin for a few bucks.. sunday had many teenagers willin to play ,couple browns and a 2lb laker killed my spread for some time too. sat we did pull a 10 lb atlantic with only 1 jump and a green run to the boat with a quick net job I gave him a wack with the stick and it killed it so I had to keep It..(thanks Ben) guess the stick is better to bringing the alternator to life ,than it is to a fish. Sunday was gettin a tad bumpy around 3 so we headed to the cleaning station to end the trip.. HEY THE KIDS LET ME REEL IN 1 FISH EACH DAY TOO THAT WAS REALLY COOL...THANKS GUYS. The worst part of the trip was NO Cherries due to the bad frost this spring,,, I always look forward to the fruit stand stops on my excersions... Thank You Ben and Wayne for yer part its nice to have a crew solid enuf to run the boat and set the rods so i could take my NAP. Hey I,m gettin old !! ====================

can ya order the strapless ones? -
way to go ..I like em raw just run the line between the teeth and ya can strip em off and get a nice meal in a hour or so..assuming the fish dont mess up yer spread. As for the road kills I always swearve at em for the tackle..if their really bloated ya gotta net em carefully and be shure to "burp em" good before releasing..

well let me look...rats i can,t see maybe that was the reason..

CATCH AND RELEASE METHODS
ray koziatek replied to backtroller's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Well the real number way to best survival for the fish is get it to the boat as fast as possable...enjoy the fight but dont milk the drag,,,, I rarely use a net if not derby fishing ,its pretty tuff and ya gotta be careful of loose hooks. have yer pliers handy for quick hook removal in the net...and get it back to the water asap..... If you just ran a 20 mile run and got to the finish you would just lay their for a few min,,,(or days) and to a passerby youd look dead...till they kicked ya .... Time outa water is much worse than time outa temp IMO....dont let the fish flop on the deck while ya high five ,have yer camera in a handy spot if ya want a quick pic..and celebrate after the fish is released..... -

How would you fish for gar?
ray koziatek replied to tbulhead's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
try not to hit the head area with the shotgun they die everytime shoot about the last 4 inches off the tail with that little stubby tailess body you can reach right down and grab them,,coupl pics and they just swim away (kinda funny to watch) -
If yer boat will fit under the bridge"" capt.cove" is nice 5 min ride to the lake maybe 10....Ive stayed there many times ,,on premisis freezers,bait shop(will be your biggest cost)..4c's much closer i think 25 is based on min of 4 or 100 a nite .... seems like i paid 90 in the past,,,,,,,, but they have a few temp.camper sites too...with showers call the two and see what works for ya
