I-Bay 7/12 7/13

7/12 Went out at 5 and caught a great sunrise. Straight out to 170 and set up 2 riggers, two wires and two lead cores. Slowly worked out to 250. By 7:30 we were three for three on skippys. One was so small I thought it was an alewive at first. Finally picked up a 7# king on an NK dirty white boy. Two of the skippys came on a green, silver and orange Silver Horde. Lost one on the DWB. We were fishing the riggers at anywhere between 80 and 120. Just tried to keep them in the temp around 44 or 45 deg. Missed a couple of hits on the lead core and had a lead core and wire diver go simultaneously at one point but no one home on either one. They weren't tangled when they came in. Who knows? Called it a day at 11 when  the fuel gauge started making me nervous..

 

7/13 Headed out at 5 again and set up a little shallower to start around 120. Only ran 2 riggers and two wire divers all day. Around 140 fow right on the bottom we picked up a 13# laker on a black and fire tiger Poonie. Kept heading out and at 215 fow about 85 down we did a 15.6 # king on DWB. Circled back around slowly and did a 17.5 # king on a Williams HQ spoon, red, silver and blue, almost on top of our last GPS mark on the wire diver. Diver was a #5 Chinook diver set at four 190' back. Managed another laker, about 6 or 7 lbs by 7:45 or so. Spent an hour and a half moving between 200 and 250. Marks but no takers. Weather started to really pick up we and headed in at 9:15. That was a fun ride in. Got back into I-Bay at around 10 or 10:15 and set up for some warm water fishing. I lost what fought like a big Sheepie. Larry picked up a 20" Walleye and Gina a nice largemouth. We then really took it to the Silver Bass, taking five or six 4 ouncers on riggers and stick baits. Having a hard time getting pictures off of my phone. Here's a few including our Silver Bass double.
