SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Started out at 110, dropped 6 lines: Spin Dr at 75, J-Plug at 70, 4 spoons (1 Stinger, 2 NK, 1 J&L) at 65, 55, 40 and 30. Trolled NE starting at water tower and hit little king within 20 minutes on NK 65 down over 125 fow. Reset and hit small steeling on same line on NE troll 15 minutes later. Continued out to 190fow, then turned SE back to 120. Was marking very little. Changed it up about 12:30 to all spoons, NK Mag at 100, NBK at 85, NK at 75, Stinger at 65, J&L #2 at 50 and J&L #1 at 35. Found a nice large white plastic bag stuck to a release...GRRRRR! Talked to a couple guys on 68 who also seemed skunked at magic hour of 10:30. Pushed back and forth from 120fow to 250. Most guys pulled at noon and bailed. 1:30 hit steelie on 65 down stinger (orange and white) over 140 fow right in front of radio tower, trolling SE. Had green and white J&L #2 at 50 fire about 10 minutes later over 130 fow. 2PM by then, too late to pull and re-run the obviously more favorable E troll so I spent an hour running WNW back into it, then due south at the tower then pulled them up and bailed.

Will be back at it Saturday.
