Swing and float
work is kinda slow so i managed to get out a bit lately.
Sunday, Feb 3----Sunday i went solo for the morning as my i had an engagementin the afternoon. went and parked the hut in the same area as the week before. I had fish chasing my bait on the initial drop so things looked good. Started with a spoon , but the fish were not reacting well to it. after a bit of switching i started getting good chases on a herring coloured tube. Had a flurry of action between 10 and 12, and ended up 1 for 7.had to leave at noon and painfully had to walk off active fish. no pics that day
Monday Feb 4. after calling my bud the night before and telling him about my action, he decided to meet me at the access point before dawn. he has been fishing for lakers a bit for 6 years and never got one, so he was very keen to get his first. we walked again right to the previously active area. Like the day before we had fish flying up at our first drops. Mikey Hit one on a spoon in the first twenty minutes, and successfully ices it! after a high five and a quick pic down she went. the fish were pretty slow, but mike hooked and lost 2 more, and i went 4/6. all fish were on spoons and would not even look at the hot tube from the day before. the fishing died off around 1230 or one, and at 230 we packed her in.
^^^^^^^^^ this was dudes first ever laker
Thurs Feb 7 me and mike met up a little later, around 8 am. we didnt want to mess with a good thing, so again we hiked it to our area, and again fish flewup at them. the fish were not giving chase well, and after and hour we were making plans to move,when mike decided to try a northland prerigged swim/tube bait.. fish swarmed this thing right away, and in the next 90 mins he misses 2 bites, hooks 4, and lands 3 of them, while i dont even get a sniff. after having my butt handed to me by a guy that 4 days earlier had never landed a trout, iwhipped out my secret bait and left it sitting 25 feet above bottom. with in about 3 minutes, a heavy mark comes screaming up at it . it smashes it, and after a great battle i slip a fat 32 incher back down the whole. the next hour was all mine where i hooked 3 more and landed 1 of them, on tubes and swammers. the bite slows around 12:30, and mike leaves for a denist apptmnt. the next hout was pretty slow. at 1:30 im contemplating leaving, when i start getting a few chasers, i hooked a very heavy fish on my spoon, that i can barely budge with 10 lb test and a Heavy action rod. after about 10 minutes up and down, the hook pops out. im running short on time by now, so i start packing, but leave my tube down and graph on. in the 8 minutes to pack up i hooked 3 and landed 1. quickly released him as my hands froze and started my march to shore . hate walking off active fish, but i had to get my son from daycare, and the hot fish already had me cutting it close. final tally for the day was 14 bites, 12 of them hooked, and 6 landed. hard to get good hooksets in deep water with mono.
all in all a very exiting week, and im gunna add to it saturday morning!!!! if you see a rust white chev truck with lots of stickers at the access you are at the right place!!!! good luck out there boys
