August 30th Report

The morning started out great, even though strong east winds and near-frost conditions greeted us at the dock.

Motoring up river was cold and just a little damp, but once we got to our spot, we found it to be out of the wind, which allowed us to cast with confidence.

I was tossing a Top-Raider and hooked up with a fat 3.5 lb smallmouth.

Once the sun hit the treetops, I switched to a 10” Suick and nailed a 30”, 7 lb. northern.

After breakfast things were a little tough, but by switching to a curly tail grub (Texas-rigged) I managed two nice largemouth and yet another smallmouth.

We had no follows today, but the Ray’s caught what they reported to be a 42 lb. musky while trolling in the main channel. Their camera is a Polaroid – so you’ll have to trust me, I did see it (the picture, that is)!
