9-26-12 Fishing Report

Tough fishing today. We set up in the 00’s in 130 fow. The temp was 61 down 110 feet and 58 on the bottom. We trolled north and moved out a little deeper. In 180 fow it was 48 degrees down 160 feet. We were marking bait & fish down there, but couldn’t get a hit. We took it down to the middle of th 02’s , turned and trolled sw. We were two hours into the trip before we has our first bite. It came on a 450 copper with a Magna Glow Blue Momba Kingfisher Flasher/Blue Moo Big Water Meat Rig. We fought it for a while, but it got off. We kept on that same troll until we quit fishing. We ended up in the 39’s and 57’s. We only had six bites all morning. Five of the bites were on meat rigs and one on a 350 copper with a glow spoon. We ran some plugs on coppers and started out with spoons on our out downs, but after our first few hits came on meat we took the spoons off the riggers and replaced them with 10″ Spin Doctors and Big Water Meat Rigs.  We left out two plugs, but they never went.  We had three wire diver bites. A low wire out 215 with a 10″ Show Time Spin Doctor/Blue Moo Big Water Rig and a 10″ Dark Green Blue Bubble Slick Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Rig out 205 on the other low wire each went once. A 10″ Black White Crush Spin Doctor/Moo Moo Big Water Rig out 300 on a high wire went once too. A 10″ Margarita Spin Doctor/Green Mile Meat Rig took a King down 100 on an out down. From the amount of bait & fish we marked it looks like when the Lake settles down we are in for some good fishing. We use Erie Dearie Premium Strips on all our meat rigs.
