Finally got out on the Lake ... Soccer and Baseball with the boys is really cutting into my Fishing!! Beautiful day yesterday!! Hardly any Skiers yet :-) :-) Water temp on the suface is up to 52 degrees ..

Beautiful day, water like glass, and hit I-90 with an ancient 3" Abalone Spoon that is probably 50 years olde ... My favorite! Fished on top at 10-15' deep and pretty quick, as I saw bait rolling early in the AM as the sun came up. Got two nice 20"+ Downstream Cutts right away. As the sun came up I switched to Plug Cut Herring, and worked a bit deeper and slower, and we picked up 3 more by about 11:00am.

I still was not seeing quite as much bait as usual. Tho .. the fish were barfing up Stickle Backs on the way up to the boat. ( Or are they called Thread Fin??)

As I type this at 4:30 am Sunday, I'm heading out again. Mother's Day present to me, from her to me ... She let me go fishing 2 days in a row!!

PS... I accidently hit one of the cables from the bridge. They had been working on the bridge lately I noticed ... I think they replaced cables? ANYWAY, when I pulled up my downrigger ball, it was just covered with HEAVY DUTY, white grease!! And I mean a whole bunch!! I guess they lube those cables for rust protection?? What a mess.
