How many entered the local derby today?

How about some reports? I saw down temps yesterday that didn't seem possible. In the trench it was 76 degrees on the surface and 76 degrees about 100ft down over 140 ft if water, and the Fish Hawk wasn't broken!

Todd I was out in the trench for a little and down temp was 74 down 100 ft I thought the fish hawk wasn't working right.....

The fish are really stacked up in the trench but I think they are in shock because of the high temps. We found fish out deeper but they would bite either. We tried spoons, FF, and even J plugs.

I really wanted to enter the derby but wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to make on the water this weekend..

Made it out this morning for a few hours. I stayed in the trench due to limited time.. Got a skippy steelhead and a baby brown.. Probably won't be back out on the lake till Labor Day weekend!!! Hopefully there will be another derby that weekend!

At least you didn't get skunked. A 6 pound brown is a good fish considering how bizarre the fishing has been lately. I think temp is more to blame than the moon, jmo...

yea i think so as well now that i saw the temp report i kind of figured temp was bad due to storm that cam through just before i got there plus browns do a little better in warmer water then salmon or lakers i didnt see any other boats catching so i was thank full for that nice brown .nice short run from the boat launch to the trench

Tangled.... thats all I have to say lol. went out on my buddy laker balls boat (lol) today thinking it was gonna be decent out for a 19ft aluminum and I was dead wrong. went back in to get the bigger boat and I missed all the action. Caught myself a ridiculous sunburn. 

 

Today was ruff this morning and fishing was tough. I threw everything at em... even said screw it, I'm pulling out the cowbells. But fish are certainly in the trench... I'm just not quite convinced there there all day yet. EDIT: just got word one of the guys at camp landed 2x 25lb kings in the trench after weigh-in. lost a third at the boat.

 

Congrats to Fleet Tracker winning the Salmon division this week with a 20lb. 6.2oz king! Runner up was Go Easy with a 14lb. 10.2oz King. Also wanted to say Congrats to BluTooth winning the Laker division with a 9lb. 4.4oz Laker. 

 

Big Thanks who all participated, hung out for drinks and pizza! Keep the good times rollin!

Fleet tracker great job on the tournament and putting it all together, will do it again for sure. Had just the one brown and one other release. We bailed out around 3:30 and headed back to the pond, oh well better days to come. Thanks again and I look forward to meeting you in the future. Bill

Thanks Organized Chaos and way to go on the Brown!  It was tough fishing in some not so great conditions on Saturday... Kind of regretted taking the little boat but we stuck it out.  Some solid 4+ footers around the lighthouse made it challenging.  We had 5 good releases on top of the 1 King we did land that undoubtedly were Kings slapping at it.  4 of the 6 takes came off a 10" Spin Doctor Mt Dew/Crush Glow with a short lead on a Glow MC Rocket.  They loved the Rocket... would pull it up on the strikes that missed and the Rocket strip would be all mangled and bent.  I need to stick one of my GoPro's down there and get some of this footage.

 

The fish were pasted on bottom trying to escape the warm temps with no hope.  Bottom 10-15' the Kings were stacked and the screen was lit up for miles.  You could put your balls in the mud over 135 in the Trench and only achieve 55deg.  The good temps were washed out with the big blow we had earlier in the week and although fishing temp goes out the window this time of year, these conditions didn't help promote more active fish.  It's also interesting to note that I started off with longer leads off the Flashers and switched up after 1 pass through the bunch with nodda to show for it.  Went with much shorter leads and being attached to a larger Spinny, I think the more aggressive action triggered the strikes.  The fish were pretty turned off and I believe only the males were biting.  Had to stick it right in their face and even then there was no guarantee.

 

Things will only get better in the weeks to come and I look forward to working with Lil Crappie (Matt) to host more of these "weekend warrior" tournaments for our area.  Aside from the fishing which I always enjoy, getting to know some of you all at the weigh in is just as fun!  I can't tell you how many ppl are saved in my phone as their LOU handle name and that i've been texting for months or even years and still haven't met f2f... It's fun talking shop and hearing about tactics and thoughts about the fishing from everyone that day.

 

Here's another "sketch shot" of the winning fish with my Family:

Sounds like Saturday was fun, but I'm glad I wasn't able to get out. The 4 ft waves with my little 21ft cuddy cabin would of been a challenge. I'm going to try and shoot for getting out this up coming Sunday. My saturdsy is booked already with eye appointments for the boy and my other half. Maybe a late afternoon trip could be possible. Otherwise my labor day weekend is my only shot at this fun event and meeting some of you guys on here.

Naww you would have been fine out there, bobby.  Lots of small 17-18' aluminum boats fished all morning and into the afternoon.

 

This weekend's event is ready for sign-up and we already have 3 boats on the list!  Although it's a 2-day tournament, you don't have to fish both days.  Some folks may only fish 1 of the 2 days - we just thought it would give more flexibility to those in your exact situation.

 

Sign-up for this weekend's Fundraiser event for the Jefferson County 4H Club (50%).  Payout and Prizes are detailed on the Results section on the website

Team BluTooth is in again.  Looking forward to another weekend out there.  Hopefully we get two days of fishing in this time around.

 

Matt, let me know if my payment didnt go through.  See you boys at BC.

Looks like 1-3 footers or 2-4' all week on the east end of the lake. Makes me wonder what it will really be like :)

went out earlier today and it sucked completely. I was actually rather amazed how many boats were out there in the trench. I went all the way to the lighthouse and decided to troll with the wind and half way through got green real quick. towards the wall I picked up a monster whitefish lol and called it quits. I should have popped the dramamine but left it at home fml. 

 

was 49 degrees at 105ft
