Sat AM 7/12, Braddocks to Wautoma

[Jammer]

Saturday morning, I took out my Dad and two of his buddies (none registered in the LOC derby) and we had a fantastic trip.

I caught a 12+ lb. Steelie, Dad got a 16+ lb. Laker, and Bruce got a nice teen King.

The Steelie and the Laker would have made the leaderboard for sure...

Of course, Friday afternoon my wife (who is registered) and I went out and boated one small Steelie... figures.

We caught all these pictured fish in 160 to 190 FOW on the wire 205 ft back with the green glow e-chip and Skein machine A-TOM-MIK fly.

We went 9 for 11 overall, with most of the fish on flasher/flys, and a couple on spoons (NK28 O's alewife, NK Mag green glow, black silver hologram)

WHAT A MORNING!

Nice catch jammer.... I was out there for a few hours in the morning.

Had one knock off but couldn't get 'em goin'... not sure what the problem was.. runnin' riggers down 70 -90.. NBK's Glow Frogs and the like...

Temp ran in the 55 - 57 range... Wire back 165 on #3... HELP ME !!!

Frank,

Most of our action was on the dipsies, setting 2.5 with 205 feet out. I started at 180 out and nothing fired till I went deeper.

Try changing to 2.5 setting and going out 200+.

My couple of low rigger hits were 85 down, with a down temp of 41-43, out over 180 FOW.

I think there were a few smaller steelies up higher, but our good fish all came at the low end of the usual temp zone.

Thanks for the tip Jammer. Sounds like I've been fishin' too high.

Much appreciated. See u on the water.
