So with the boat purring like a kitten again made my first venture out on the lake saturday. Made my way down to Bluffers and was suprised to see the lot almost full by 6:00am. Rigged up and had lines set by 7:30 am. Usually I'm a sunrise guy but the first voyage always takes longer to get going. Cross paths with a buddy infront of the plant, He ventured out of ashbridges and got a 5:00 am start. Shouted over what program was working to shorten my learning curve. Waters warm down 100ft still 50'f. Managed only a small shaker and a knock off. Buddy landed 1/2 dozen or so.
With the east wind forecasted for sunday took up and offer to fish out of my buddies boat as I knew the swells would make fishing alone too much of a challenge. Ended the morning with 5 fish 1 bow, the rest chin from a shaker to a couple of 18-20. pulling planers/ copper 200 & 300, wire dipsey and down rigger down 120 all got hit.
