This report for any who might want to fish the lake. Went out Sat. just before lunch, this was my first time back on the water in almost two years , so not a lot was expected . After a few color changes , hit the right combo being the 6" shasta sling blade UV shark design / with the big eye & the small size purple squid & 1 full med size worm , 3/4 " trailer 15 " leader 2&1/2 times the dodger length for the action . Not really seeing much of anything on the screen anywhere , making the rounds the end of the park over to the south end of the island , to Coulon park , the mouth of the river then back towards the launch . leaving that combo for last , and just north Atlantic City launch first of 4 fish in a row 45 mins or less all the way to to the north east end of Seward park . Bait the hook's drop it back 50-75 ft clip it send it down 30 and wait for the hit.
Now it may have been the right stuff , considering the off shore boat parade that were making a lap around the island would have been enough noise the rest of the Saturday boater's as well , What are to odd's of finding on the screen much less catching anything , low well I must say I was caught off guard needless to say. remembering back to Salmonberry's reports from the early in summer this year , Ya color dose matter and yes the worm play's a part as well , Big Thank You to Berry . the UV shark made the big difference as all other combo's produced nothing .
the only bad part I didn't have the pics that were taken to show the fish , 18+ " biggest 10 " being the smallest all Cutthroat pics on the girlfriend's phone maybe next report I could add them, didn't have enough time to have her download the pics to my computer .
All in all I was very happy with the outing , but to find the right combo and catch fish too , well how do ya top that after being away from it so long again thank's Berry .
