dunkirk 8/9

[times two]

Got out Thursday morning and managed to dodge 99% of the rain

and all the forecast T-storms.

Boxed 9 walleye and 3 steelhead, and dropped or missed at least

another half dozen bites. Guys today were a bit slow on the rods.

But we had a great time.

Walleye came on orange/copper harnesses on the big slides at 175;

and off the boards on little slides at 200; big slide with a black/purple

stinger, off the 10 color on a big hatchet harness.

Steelhead were on the riggers 52 feet down on a new DW blade. Its

is painted very similar to a blueberry muffin on the back, with a flourescent

pink cup. We had 2 steelies and several we missed on this blade in

a very short time. Other steel came on a watermelon yeck.

90 fow just east of the harbor, 1.6-1.8 at the ball.
