Hit the water out of Coulon at a little after 7 and dropped a hoochie to 25' once I got some deeper water under the boat. Headed down the log boom. Got a hit and pulled in a nice Rainbow or Steelhead. Can't be sure because I lost it at the boat due to poor netting technique. Oops.
Cleaned cabbage off of my line twice before I got to Mercer Island. Headed down the West side of Mercer holding about 120' of water. About 1/2 way down I got a hit and got a nice Cutthroat next to the boat and, yup, lost because of poor netting, AGAIN... More that I got the net wrapped around itself while putting it in the water than anything else, but I still lost the fish.
Had one more hit and got it in the boat but it was a 7" or less PERCH! On a downrigger. With a pink Hoochie with size 1 hooks. At 25' deep. At 2.3 mph. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE! What the?!?! Ya just never know...
