            Comments = Went up on Mike K\'s boat, trolled wire on
bottom and had steady action with small lakers up to 21 inches.  Released
all, probably about 4 were legal.  Used suttons and homemade spoons,
tried for browns for a short time near south shore, no luck.  Froze our
butts off, but the action was worth it, lost many fish on the wire.  Saw
two 18 inch browns that Pete Lahosky caught along shore, nice chunky
fish. Are the browns coming back?
