I STARTED THE DAY AT 8 AM. IT WAS A CALM OVERCAST DAY. STARTED OUT WITH MY FAVORITE FLATFISH WITH NOT MUCH SUCCESS, SO I CHANGED COLORS AND STARTED GETTING SOME ACTION. TROLLED DOWN TO THE N.E. END OF THE LEG CATCHING EIGHT FISH USING DIFFERENT LURES AND COLORS LOOKING FOR THE BEST COMBO. (THIS WAS MY FIRST TRIP TO BADGER SO I WAS IN THE DARK AS TO WHAT WORKS BEST.) I FINALLY FOUND A COMBO THAT WORKED REALLY WELL WHILE TROLLING BACK FROM THE FAR END OF THE LAKE WHICH PRODUCED A NICE 14" RAINBOW. ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER I HOOKED AND LANDED A 6.4LB RAINBOW WHICH REALLY MADE THE TRIP. I CAUGHT A TOTAL OF 16 FISH IN FIVE HOURS OF FISHING, BUT HAD MANY STRIKES AND OTHER FISH ON THAT GOT AWAY WHICH KEPT THE ACTION PRETTY STEADY. WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK.
