GREAT day on Lake Stevens, (especially for a wannabe fishermen). First time to take the boat out by myself (18' Duckworth Advantage), on the lake around 6am, had a double by 6:15, caught 6 total. All fish caught in the 13' to 15' depth range, everyone I talked to who were catching fish were at about the same depth range, fish are still shallow.
Caught 3 on the downrigger set at 13', pink/green wedding ring, single hook, small pink sparklie spinner, 4/0 hammered chrome dodger, (same rig caught 4 on Saturday at 13'). 3 others caught on leaded line, 2 full colors in the water, double whammy wedding ring pink/green w/small hammereed chrome spinner behind a UV sling blade. All rigs tipped with corn.
I caught 4 of the fish trolling east/west along the north end in 80' to 110' of water, Caught all fish trolling west, then turned towards the areator and caught 2 heading south along the east edge of the areator, then turned east 7 north and headed back along north shore. Interestingcaught all fish headed counter clockwise (west & south). I lost at least 5 that I got an eye on and several more just missed a hook up.
Unfortunatley I can't make the tourney tomorrow, good luck to all!
