SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

First trip out this year for me, the fog was a real bear but once it lifted the fish started hitting for about an hour and a half then it died off. Managed 4 browns, 2 were cookie cutters and 1 was 8 lbs and the other 9 lbs 1oz. We couldnt have asked for better weather once the fog lifted. Im sure if I could have found some colored water we would have done better. The only down side to the day was the blown water pump in my Jeep when I pulled the boat.....its always something.

We did grab a 24" laker in 18' of water near the nuke plant on a green spoon down 6'. Never caught one in that shallow of water before. Anyways, both of the bigger browns were in 14ft can caught on orange and gold jointed rapalas on the flat lines.

Glad you had some success. We had a slow day . we will be headed down again tomorrow.

Yes... Glad u did well...

We got there around 1230 - 1750 and did poorly.

But we didnt have a kicker motor on boat and speed was an issue.

[ryanrobb52]

Yea speed was a factor. I run a 150 with no kicker so i needed a drift sock out to get the speed right. Payed off though.

I'm looking to head out tomorrow, hopefully I can find the fish and put a few in the boat

I dont think i'll bother again until we get a couple days of north or west wind to churn things up. It might also help create some pockets of variation in water temps. just my 2 cents.
