Started off shipbuilders in 60fow. Worked out to 150 fow off webster park. Not much on the screen. After an hour and a half, decided to slow down and put down the cowbells. Steady pick of 5-9# lakers. Between 100-150 fow. Later in the morning started marking bait and fish higher in the water column. Couldn't get anything else to go.

Thanks for the report

How deep do you troll the cowbells over 150? Can these be pulled with a mag dipsey or do they only run off the riggers?

[bill]

Riggers right on the bottom. Watch them bounce, then raise them up a foot or 2. All sand out there. Bill

What's a cowbell?

a Dodger?

[Mortigan]

It's just a line of spinners: http://www.rapala.com/Cowbell-Lake-Trol ... lt,pd.html

Got it. Thanks Mortigan. We've never targeted Lakers...

[Mortigan]

Yeah, we generally try to avoid them but it sounds like they're the only game in town the last week or two. I've been thinking of taking one of the wire rods and bottom-bouncing a Torpedo Diver pulling a Laker Taker. Might be fun...

[bill]

I never targeted them until last year. On days when the salmon bite is slow or non existent you can always pull lakers. As long as it is calm. Late morning is a great time to switch over. Very easy spread of 2 riggers on the bottom pulling hammerhead cowbells. If they are down there you will catch them no matter what time of day it is. 2 rods will also keep you very busy. Slimy but fun when not much else is happening. Bill
