Been a while since I've reported, been a while since I got out...house projects, peaches, pears, to harvest, garden to clean up, ... and now there's duck hunting to throw in the mix...hunting not as productive as normal (no wind, no storms, no rain, too warm, etc), so good timing to get the boat out on the water again...after some initial problems, (check engine lite on truck, hydraulic problem on big motor, small motor slow to start) we got started over an hour late, 0930...already a dozen boaters out on Echo...good reason, as the fishing is still good...hard to see and breathe in all that smoke from the "Yellow Lake" fire, so hope they get it under control soon..RAIN...nice rainbows again..not a hot bite, but ok til about noon, and no problem catching about 9 or 10 each of us..lots of misses added to the fun..Tennessee Shad Rapala, no added weight, off planer board worked good, as well as asst'd pink, chartreus, squids and assasins, on down rigger...like most other guys, depth 3ft to 11ft for us...if you can't duck hunt, you may as well go fishing...Guluk..
