We fished the lower basin of Chelan with a combination of U-20 luminous chartreuse Flatfish and Green Mackeral Rushin' Salmon Wobbler spoons by Critter Gitter. We started off on a nice bite between the point at Minneapolis beach and the Blue roof condos in depths of 130 to 150 feet. I then swung us out into deeper water and we had a long mid-day lull. We finally got back into them off the sides of Mack Bar in depths of 180 to 220 feet. Speeds of 1.5 to 1.8 mph worked best. The bigger wiggle fin in front of the flatfish worked really well. We caught 12 lake trout from 2.5 to 5.5 pounds. The weather was spectacular. We never saw another boat. This same gang went out the next day (November 23rd) with Joe on Rufus. Team Ballard rocks!
