ibay 7/26 Morning

[MadPerry]

My brother and I left the channel at 5:30 headed NE.  We both entered the LOC derby for the first time with a single day entry.  Started setting lines at 150, continuing NE with the waves.  Temps deep and inconsistant.  We got as far as 240 before we had enough of the chop and started a southern troll.  Had picked up a 1st year King on the 90 rigger, slider dw caramel dolphin, and had 4 other releases on that rigger(mag dw glow frog on the bottom), but gone by the time we got there or shortly after. 

 

Into 140 and started changing over to a test laker rig.  Picked up some cowbells that I read about from Momay and Bondouley's threads.  Still had a spread that I was hoping would attract other trout as well, and worked a speed of 1.7-2.0.  Using a 5/0 hammerhead green cowbell, we would go on to pick up 5 lakers near bottom with a tiny glow green peanut 30 inches from the back of the cowbell.  So easy and fun.  We also brought in a steelhead on a 155 setting 1.5 dipsy with a Bomber Long A pearl of moon stickbait, and a 12.15 brown from a Warrior NBS(60 rigger) that would have held the bottom of the board until tonight.  We did not take it in knowing it would never make the weekend.  Off the lake at 11:30. 

 

Fleas were a PITA today.  Can't believe how they have multiplied in just half a week.

 

Good luck to all tomorrow!
