Saturday “ Nelle”

[2knots]

Fished there on Friday with a buddy.  Wind was nasty when we got there, tried trolling north by Spring Creek,  caught a few bows on Shad raps and rapala's.  Wind forced us to move into the Rock Creek arm where again, a couple of bows.  Trolled around for several hours and were getting ready to leave when we tried a small cove out of the wind.  Began catching 10-12 inch bows, every cast, on spinners for about an hour, then is slowed to every 3-4 casts.  We estimate we caught over 100 between us. ( Oh, a mink also caught 3 while we were there.)

Post Scrip:  Found out later that DWR had planted 30,000 catchables along with some tiger musky and kokes.  It was a diversion from getting our butts blown all over the lake.  One interesting thing was the color on these fish.  Lots of black dots and a real golden hue to them. 

PSS:  All were released unharmed.  However I don't think the mink released any of his/her's,  they became dinner !!!

That explains the planter size we got compared to the previous weekend
