Fish On! and its about time. I dont know what the deal has been, but me and LowVW have just been getting absolutely skunked lately.

Launched from Magnuson around 4:00, and headed north. We started trolling cranks in depths of 17-23 feet. Eventually we stopped at a small cove just before the NOAH station and threw some senkos. Nothing in this area. We reversed course and headed south back past the launch. We trolled all the way to Windemere park and still had no takers. At this point it is almost 7, so we jumped across the water to the kirkland side. After one pass, I felt a light nibble and set the hook. I knew it was a small fish, but did not expect a 4-5 inch perch. Somehow that little guy got the whole treble hook in its mouth.

Down and back some more and LowVW gets into our first smallie. This one around 2lb. Next I got one, and it was around the same size. On another pass we started catching our cranks in the weedline, so when I felt a strong tug, I thought I was hung up. This turned out to be a strong 4lb 0oz SMB on the scale. Great fight. After a few more passes I got one more 3 pounder and Low lost a decent fish when it spit the crank.

It felt good to land some fish. I was starting to think I was the most unlucky fishermen in the world.
