Great recipe Andy!!! Made this today for my neice and others at her request to prepare the fish she caught yesterday. Needless to say it was a big hit and there isn't any left. Plenty of hots and hambs but no fish. This recipe is a keeper guys! Shawn [ Post made via BlackBerry ]

Brian - as you well know, capturing Tom's lake trout catches on film is extremely rare. I do have one of if not the best photos of him and one of his prize lake trout catches aboard "Nothin but Net" with Keith. Yesterday was no exception and I was unable to get his exuberant celebration of his PB lake trout on film. Sorry bud. Angle - I believe it was an NK git r done yesterday although we do run both and are equally productive. Shawn [ Post made via BlackBerry ]

Nice job Scott! One of the bows we caught off the Oak yesterday had a similar tail. Shawn [ Post made via BlackBerry ]

Nice report Jim! A nice variety of fish this year. Flea's were non-existent on our 30lb big game and minimal on the wires out at the Oak. Shawn [ Post made via BlackBerry ]

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Fish FX ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):7/8/11 Time on Water:7:30-11:30 Weather/Temp:Nice Wind Speed/Direction: NNE Waves: 0-1' to start building to 1-2 Surface Temp: 70's Location:East of port LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 16 Total Boated:10 Species Breakdown:kings, steelies, laker, brown, but no coho Hot Lure: steely dan Trolling Speed: 3.0-4.0sog Down Speed: 2.2-3.2 Boat Depth: 90-240 Lure Depth: 40-90 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Our mission was to get my neice from Michigan on some fish. She is a recent grad of Michigan State and here on vacation wanting Uncle Shawn to take her fishing So.....we got her a license and one day derby pass and launched at the Oak this morning and along with us was FISHINMAN Tom. We headed NE out of port and set up in 70fow on a NE heading with 2 wire divers - one with a white w/green dot spinny and A-Tom-Mik Hammer fly out 240 and an NBK spinny and matching A-Tom-Mik fly out 180, port rigger don 57 with a dreamweaver get r done and a pink alewive free slider, center rigger down 35 with a mag gator, and the starboard rigger down 70 with a NK seasick waddler and a dreamweaver ss dirty white doy free slider. First fish - 8-10lb king - hit the port rigger and Sammy was hooked up. After a couple of rod handling lessons from Tom, Sam did a great job and landed her biggest fish to date. She went on to beat that twice more throughout the morning. The wires were surprisingly silent so Tom went to change one out and just before he tripped the dipsey...fish on! Tom was able to land one of his personal best Lake trout at 13lbs. He and Sam took turns fighting the beast for awhile before it hit the deck of the boat. Pretty much a steady pick for us covering water from 90-240'. We did lose a couple of screamers and at one point we thought all we needed was a brown to hit the Lake O cycle. Sure enough, the port rigger fires and Sam lands a nice chunky brown trout! After a couple of high fives and resetting of lines it finally dawns on us that we hadn't caught a Coho Oh well, a lot of fun was had and a great day to be on Lake O. I'm sure Sam's arms will be sore tomorrow. Unfortunately, I was unable to attach pics with this post and not sure why. Shawn

A speed and temp probe would be your best bet. Pretty much a Ford/Chevy/Dodge debate on who makes the best unit. You really can't go wrong with Moor Subtroll, Depthraider, or Fishawk X4. Each have their pro's and con's. Personally, I like my Subtroll. Here's a previous discussion on the topic. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22644 HIH, Shawn

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there. Especially those serving our country, first time dad's, and the ones who introduced their kids to the outdoors and fishing. Thanks Dad - love ya! Shawn
