No on water pics to accompany yesterday's report just a shot of fish in the cooler after I got home. Was waiting for a nice carryover and we didn't find one by the time we filled our limits.

Pulled in to Seven Bays about 9:00 and no vehicles in the parking lot. Cool. Launched and had lines in the water by 9:30. I hooked up less than 10 minutes later, and then again, and again. Had 3 in the cooler when my buddy finally hooked up, hmm, same thing happened on our last outing. I had my limit in the cooler in just over an hour, with my buddy sitting on one. He hooked up again, then the bite seemed to shut down. The chop had gone away and the surface was almost glass smooth.

I know my area well, so I worked it good hitting all the spots I know produce. The slow bite and having already put my limit in the cooler gave me some seat time to get acquainted with the new electronic gear. The Raymarine DownVision/SideVision is awesome! Will need some more on the water time to fine tune transducer position, but I'm thoroughly impressed.

Yesterday's hot bait was a Rip'n Minnow 65 in perch and it accounted for 5 in the cooler. An all orange Kekeda tallied 3 and a Frisky Jenny Trick r Treat caught 2. Flies tipped with a piece of worm and we troll right at 3mph. It was overcast and foggy the whole time we were on the water. Surface temp was 40.6°. I found a pocket of 'bows near shore early and we stayed on them until the bite seemed to go away. Then I put the SideVision to work and targeted marks for my buddy to finish his limit, twice resulting in fish in the cooler. :-)

Though it took a little while, my buddy finished his limit, we stowed gear and headed for the launch. All nice chunky 'bows with 2 @ 15.5" and the rest 16" - 17" and pushing 2lbs. We only saw 3 other boats while on the water and one more rig in the parking lot after returning to the launch. Put the boat back in the barn and headed for home pulling in the driveway just after 3:00. ;-)
