Braddock's Bay 7/1 afternoon

[Jeremy Goodison]

Got a chance to squeeze in an afternoon solo trip. Decided right out of the gate to fish on the deeper side. Stopped the boat in 320fow and instantly had fish on the screen. Lake was a little bumpy for solo but the ipilot kept up so we trolled North East with the wind to set up. Had my third pole in the water and my meat rig took off. Landed the first one tickling 20lbs and started to feel confident. I immediately circled back to my starting point and took another King mid teens on a dipsy with flasher fly. All of a sudden it went from 2 foot and capping to 2-4's with gailing winds and monsoon rains. I worked 300-350fow from 5-7pm landing one more teen King on same Flasher fly (A-TOM-MIK 42nd).

As fast as it rolled in the sun came ripping out and the lake calmed right down. I started south troll working back into 160fow. I took another teen King in 260 fow on meat rig and a Skippy in 160 on rigger down 95 with chrome 42nd. Both fish missed were teen Kings. One of which wrapped my main engine as I fumbled the net job in a typical solo fashion. I watched it dangle for a minute 10 feet behind the boat until the leader broke (taking the hot rig[emoji35] ).

Sweet report, I absolutely love the challenge of fishing alone. Especially boating big boys by yourself. Kudos...  Woody
