Ashbridges Bay

[40PoundTrout]

Went out last night for an hour and a half after work over the drop off and went 0 for 1 (Steelhead around 5 pounds). I got it most of the way to the boat before it came off.

160 ft

Trolling 2.5 - 3mph

Blue and white small lyman plug flatlined about 200ft behind boat.

No bait balls marked

A few fish marked above 30 ft here and there.

I tried some NK spoons down between 40 and 75 ft on the rigger, no luck...actually no marked fish down that depth but I thought I'd try anyway.

Always nice to be out and the first hooked fish of the year felt great!

Of note, the pay meter is not accepting visas right now, so if you go bring change, 75 cents per half hour and you have to pay twice if you have a trailer....which I hope you do if you're fishing on lake O.
