I launched at Deer around 10:00 and tried for the macs until around noon with no luck. So I switched tactics and went to the East Side of the Lake and started trolling small rapalas in 12-10 foot of water. ( I was like 5 ft from the end of the docks) ........and within 100 yds of starting bam we have a double on. Lost em both! Trolled back and forth and landed 5 triploids and kept one. (White meat-yuck- save it for the smoker) I did hook into something very nice though- It just doubled my downrigger rod which I was flatlining and fought hard hard all the way to the boat. It broke my upper splitring on the rapala and the hook broke loose. It was belly up a few feet from the boat and sunk slowly down. Big Fish, whatever it was. Nice weather and a good day to be on the water. Do it again on Sunday with the boy!!!!!
