I laid in bed at 5am debating whether I wanted to go fishing. I dreaded the fact that if I was out in my boat up to 3 hours again how much pain I would be in. But then I thought if I just stayed out 2 hours it might not be so bad. But if I didn’t get my limit I would still want to go toward that 3 hour mark. BUT won and said get your butt out of bed and only stay out 2 hour if you get your limit or not! I was ready to launch before 7am. I got to talking with the still fisherman in the green driftboat (sorry I forgot your name). He had got his limits on Thursday and Friday (?) but it had been harder than usual. So start time might have been a little after 7.

I actually got one in the first 5 minutes of trolling on the north side of the lake as I turned to go south. Then I circled around and lost a few. Caught some by the south side a little bit by the cove. Then headed toward the east end where dzfish was leaving with a friend and both of their limits. I went back and forth a bit there and had a few bites then started back towards where I was at the south side. That is where I picked up the rest of my fish for my limit in about 2 hours. All were very close to 11 inches. I got most of the fish at about 25 feet on the downrigger cable mainly in 60 foot of water. But I did try and had bites at 17 foot of cable in 45 feet of water. I started with a Dick Nite Dodgers Pink Splatter and a Watermelon with Wannafish A Lure Pretty in Pink that I am still trying out. After the first few fish I switched and used both Watermelon dodgers.
It was cloudy and I thought cold. I was cold! There was a slight breeze. The weather is suppose to change in the next few days but today is suppose to be in the low 70’s with some sun.
