We headed down south saturday to visit with my wifes family and I took the boat just incase I could slip away for a few,well we did and the rainbows where biting,we where out on the lake for about 1 hour and had 5 hook-up's and three fish to the boat,we where long lining small rapalas gold/black back and gold/orange back about 100ft back trolling at 1.8 on the fish finder,the spot was the south bank by the dam.that whole about 1/2 mile of shore line was loaded with fish,we trolled close to shore in about 18ft of water.there was another boat in the same area and having the same results but I dont know what they where using.
I would have stayed and fished longer but if anyone was down that way this weekend the wind was howling and there was some BIG rollers on the lake and I launched at rockcliff,they where so big on the way back I had to slow down and just motor with them,I was a little neverous and was wondering if it was worth it.It was nice to get back to the truck and kick up the heater.
Hope this helps someone.
Later,FNF
