Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: BRAVO ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 4-18-12 Time on Water: 6 pm to 8 pm Weather/Temp: COLD with sunny sky Wind Speed/Direction: 5-15 mph/ NE Waves:2' Surface Temp: 48-49 Location:Webster LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 6 Total Boated:5 Species Breakdown: Browns and Atlantic Hot Lure: bright stickbaits & bright NK spoons Trolling Speed: 2.2-2.4 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 10-20 Lure Depth: riggers 4-6' ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== On a short notice, I read the weather report and I felt that wednesday evening would be the best chance to get out given the gloomy weather forecast for the weekend. Quickly, I gathered the boys and the three of us met at dock before 6 p.m. The forecast called for flat and calm lake however we met the lake with stiff NE wind with 2' wave pushing the boat. This is manageable only because I had 2 guys to work with. I would not have made it out easily solo. Started out slow and bites became steady once we covered the area in front of Webster Park. Surface temp was around 49 degrees. The graph looked good with so many marks in between 12 to 20 FOW. I was warning my buddies about lone salmon that may show up out of blue. 6 rods out - 5 on planer board and one on a rigger. My other rigger was inoperable after I lost the ball and the whole 250' of cable to the shallow water the other day. Smithwicks, Rebel stickbaits:' Orange, Firetiger, glow green and yellow took hits. Stickbaits were out between 100 to 140' off the planer board. Rigger down 4 to 6' with NK spoon yellow and orange behind the prop wash took hits. Lure was 30' out. Nice browns were taken in 6 # range. Of course, the captain has to catch the biggest fish. I landed in a decent 8-10# atlantic salmon after 10 minutes battle. All were released successfully to fight for another day. It was a fun evening as the lake calmed down slightly by the time the sun set. They are out there! Go get em!

Love these pictures!

Best of luck on your new ride! Sweet looking rig!

Double Bonus! Congratulations on your feat! Best of luck in 2012!

Tom, Thank you for sharing a great news! Mark is a great guy and I wish him all the best. Best wishes from I bay fisherman!

Fellow I Bay fisherman, I have 15 HP honda 4 stroke on my 21' wellcraft. At first, I thought I got too much power for my 21' boat however I am glad I have the extra HP to keep my boat on course whenever the lake become rough. I bought this off Arney's Marina and they gave me a great deal - 15HP at a price of 9.9 HP. The EZ steer is used to connect the kicker to the main outboard motor. Also, be sure to get electric tiller and 12 AMP charger. My batteries are charged continually while trolling. Best of luck!

Hans, Last Saturday morning, the sandbar was high on the right side of the inlet as you enter the lake from the bay. I want to say there is about 3 feet of water. I will be very careful to stay away from that right lane. I did not want to start anything to do with negative post especially this is the beginning of spring! One a$$ h0le has decided to run his bass boat from behind my boat in the channel. As a result of his boat passing my boat in the channel, the resulting wake lifted up my boat then my outboard hit the sand bottom. I was fortunate that there was no damage to my prop. I will not hesitate to approach this stupid guy to teach him a lesson. That is to be courteous to other boaters. Best of luck on 2012! Anthony

Thanks guys. I had to put the fish back in the water since I wasn't prepared to keep em Looking fwd to great fishing season in 2012!

Great sweet brown! That was a beautiful rig set up on your boat. We passed by you yesterday. Congrats on the kings!

That's a great report. I'm very glad to see pix of steelhead from the bay! April is the best month to catch bows inside the bay. Tight lines.
