I think I started fishing about 6am finished about 8:30am. I think I lost about 5 and then the 5 for my limit. Man, these things are slimy. I was using a rag to hold on to one while I made the cut to bleed it and it just popped right out of my hand into the water. Put the motor in reverse and netted it but I lost the blue rag.
I stayed close to the island, the north side mostly. It got busy on the lake after 7 and close to 9 it was a very busy place. The sky was cloudy and there was little wind. I fished in 36-70 foot of water between 10-23 feet. I had a hit on the surface while I was getting my other rod on the down rigger. Therefore, surface to 23 feet for me. I used Dick Nite Pink Splatter and Bahama Mamma dodgers with Wannafish A Lure Pink Ice and Bloody Mary. I hooked a few on this other new lure but did not get one into the boat. Of course, tipped with maggots and corn.
It was nice meeting all you WAlakers this month.
Who was parked in front of me today? WAlakes.com sticker (amongst other stickers)on the back window? Dark colored truck, crack in the windshield.? Got there after 6 but before 8:30am?
