CAUGHT ON LIVE HERRING FISHED ON BOTTOM. ALL FISH HEALTHLY.
SUBJECT: BURPING LAKE TROUT
BEFORE RETURNING A LAKE TROUT TO THE WATER IT MUST BE BURPED FIRST.
GENTLY SQUEEZE THE FISHES BELLY TO RELIEVE AIR BUILT UP INSIDE FISH.
YOU WILL HEAR A BURP IF FISH IS FULL OF AIR.
ALSO IF FURTHER REVIVNG IS NEEDED TO PREVENT FISH FROM BELLYING UP;
HOLD BY TAIL AND DO A BACK AND FORTH MOTION TO FORCE WATER THRU ITS GILLS.
WHEN FISH IS READY RELEASE HOLD AND FISH SHOULD SWIM DOWN AND AWAY.

Comments: What great night Fishing....We thought the wind was going
to due us in, but it stopped for awhile. While anchored up we caught 3
smallmouth, 1 Largemouth, 2 Bluegills (large) 21 Rainbows and 1 Fat Brown
at 22 inches, and one small curious Laker only 10 inches. The lights in
the water brought in a ton of small bait fish that drove the fishfinder
crazy!!...A light that was lower than the surface light, brought in larger
bait fish tonight. You could see the larger trout swimming in the light,
and they were hooked by lowering a worm by them. Many Rainbows were the
new Kamloop Rainbows that dive and roll like lakers. All were in good shape,
nice a fat fish with bueatiful colors. Night fishing has not been
that good in awhile guys...it was fun...time to go clean some trout!!

Comments: Started out with slip bobbers in about 100 feet in the middle
trench between the towers. Caught 3 lakers in about 4 hours. All were under
20" and thin, in my opinion. Interestingly, I gut hooked one of them and
as I was clipping the line near the mouth, I noticed 2 OTHER leaders hanging
out the side of the fish's mouth! I clipped mine and it was released OK.
I later fished the north shoreline just east of the N Point about 300
yards. Caught about 10 various panfish including a very large Bluegill
that had to weight at least 1.5 lbs. in about 20 25 feet of water. It seemed
the bigger ones hang out in the darker water. I also caught a 13" smallmouth
on a crawdad as it previously refused all types of lures and baby crawlers.
The fish kept hanging around the boat until I gave it the right bait! I
then tried the south shore about 400 yards east of the south tower. The
high water has caused many tree root systems to collapse, causing many
more trees to fall into the water. Good future structure! Also, I saw a
large, maybe 18-20 inch bass like fish cruising along the shore in about
3-8
feet of water. The fish was very, very black colored and seemed to be on
a mission to get to the south rocks. It refused every lure and bait I presented,
but seemed fearless and did not swim away as I tried everything to catch
same. Would someone advise as
to what kind of fish this might be? The shape was bass like,
but the color was a deep, velvety black, like a black molly! I followed
it for several hundred yards until it disappeared as soon as it came to
the rocks at the S tower. See Ya at RV!

and smallmouth action. all released. A question: I use
6 lb & 10 lb line and i was wondering if i should go lighter because
all the hits come on the rods with the 6 lb line and never any on the ones
with 10 lb line. email killahsin911@hotmail.com if u have any suggestions;
thanks. good luck fishing.

One ancor dropped off the nose to allow the boat to
swing around alot. Works well in the windy conditions makes almost
like jigging the herring the boats moves so much.
Pretty successful day caught the 7 and missed a bunch more.
