Well, this summer has been the opposite of last summer for us and the porta-bote. We were out 2-3 times a week last summer and yesterday was only our 3rd trip this year. We got to hunnington about noon and started trolling 1/4 oz. kastmasters behing spinning rods. The straight silver kastmaster caught most of the fish and the silver/blue and tiger caught a few as well. There were many fish congregated on the inlet side. After we got to the inlet side we put flatfish and zip fish on the trolling rods and trolled all the way back to the damn but surprisingly didn't have one bite on those. We totaled about 15 between the 3 of us in 2 hours of fishing. The wind was blowing white caps but the porta-bote loves whitecaps and ate them for lunch. We saw the storm coming in and packed up and left just as it started snowing...it dropped 3 inches of snow/hail at the summit.
