Got on the water about 5:30, fished the south end of the lake with lines from 20 to 35 ft, depth varied, mostly on the west side of the lake. Got 2 koi and 1 RBT in the boat by around 7:00. Lost 1 and had a few hits with no hook up. Snagged the downrigger ball and a line on something, lost the ball when the snubber broke. My line was still on it and I used a hook retriever to snag a rope with a float, after a lot of pulling I found a 6ft piece of steel being used as a weight. I cut the rope at the steel and cleared out everything else. I didn't get my 8lb downrigger ball back but I did get a 10lb pancake and 4 dodgers, 2 like new and 1 that I think will shine up. So if you have been hanging up on the south west side of the lake it is clear now. At 8:00 with no more hits we went to little American for some perch, just got 1 and a few rock bass. Quit around 10.
Fished with a wiggle hoochie with corn, wedding ring with corn, and two lines with bare pink and green hooks with a bread and a smile blade. Everything got hit.

Thanks for the report. What were the water skiers like?

One went down and back when we were there so not too bad. Jet skis were picking up when we quit. With one that did not understand that the launch area is a no wake zone.
