Fished early this morning went 4/8 with one 9.5 # Brown.

Lost one really big one first thing. All but one on the downriggers down 10' to 15' in 25'-30' of water.

The big fish was caught in the prop wash flat lining with a CLEO.

 

Also a word of Caution... I went fishing yesterday and unknown to me the bunks on my trailer were frozen this am with the cold weather. While driving up to fish this, the boat polished the frozen bunks to a mirror finish.  Thank God I un-hooked it near the water with the tires in the water.  When I did, the boat slid into the water at lightning speed all by it's self... AMAZING... 

I am lucky, it didn't hit the ramp. Anyways, that's my story.

Nice fish, thanks for showing. Funny, you hardly ever hear of the Cleo anymore

How far back in the prop wash with the Cleo?

My son dropped my 14 ft on the ramp over the winter fishing a local river for walleye same exact thing bunks were iced over.

 

Nice fish.

Nice report, never would have thought about the boat sliding off frozen bunks. Thanks for the heads up!

Fish was 135' back with mono

The 5/8 maroon/gold casting from shore did well this winter. Definitely going out the shoot this spring.

that maroon/ gold cleo is my go-to this time of year from the piers then I switch to silver with green or blue as the water clears up in may.
