[cool][cool]What a great I mean GREAT!!!! WEEK to be on the water. We camped at Rogers
Rock State Camp ground and moored the boat. Nothing like not having to mess
with the trailer all week. No rain and flies were not to bad. The small mouth Bass
would hit what ever you through in the water. We must have boated 200 Bass. As well
as rock Bass that were almost 2 lbs. each. Blue gills were also hitting hard
but the perch were harder to find. When we did get them they came in almost 50 feet
of water and suspended. Doing a drift over them worked best.
The small mouth Bass also liked a Konami worm set up across the hook not like a
normal threaded approach.
We also trolled around using down rigging for Salmon and Lake Trout. The lakers
were down about 149 feet out of my range by 50 feet. Salmon appeared to be suspended
in 50 to 65 feet of water but few and far between. Needless to say we did not
do well catching eather one. Maybe next time.
One special note: bring a good anchor with you one that works well in wind and
strong waves. We managed to break one anchor but still managed to retrieve
it. One hundred and fifty feet of anchor line as well because most of the time
you will be in 50 feet of water and you need three times the depth to get a hold
on the bottom. Good luck and stay safe. Chief
