This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Wellington & Browns - April 12,2014

Post by Superdad »

Laker John and I arr'd at the Beach Launch at 0730 and ran into Trophy Hunter, exchanged greetings and we headed out. Started fishing at 0800, trolling west in 6 - 10 feet of water dragging stickbaits. Some of our 'Shallow' baits began hooking bottom on the lake side, must have been some rocks?????.

Trolled an hour west and turned back, changing lures, going to a pattern that worked last year, the Evil Eye spoon. At 0925, the inside board of the shore side fired and the fish jumped right away. Brought the board in and with only 30 feet behind it, the fish was close. John scooped and the fish was ours.

We continued to troll the shoreline with no further results, finishing the day exploring the deeper water to see if the fish had moved out from the shallows with the bright sun, nothing...

Took a shot for the history file of the 1st fishing tip of 2014 (Soft-water version)

Image

Hit the launch at 1430 and headed home, there were still five other trailers there when we left, it was a very busy ramp.

Snapped another shot - just in case.

It was a great day to be out on the water, sunny, slight breeze adn to escape the grasps of the long and cold winter made it most enjoyable.

Stay Tuned - at Least one more trip before the 3rd of May

Well done David. We were out as well fished east and managed 1 laker and no browns. Still it was nice to be on soft water and it brought back memories of the early 90's when we used to slam the lakers there in the shallow water!

Nice to see you and John getting the boat wet with a fish to boot.

Enjoy the rest of the spring down that way David.
