Thursday daughter Darlene and Rosie came fishing with me so that Darz could “learn the ropes” to see if she can cut the mustard as a deckhand. We spent two hours trolling for lake trout and teaching them how to set lines, hook a fish and net the fish. we did’nt get into any fish gutting, but at least they got the gist of the rest of the program.
This trip was on the Helm-n-Buoys, so when the wind picked up, we had to pull lines and head in quickly, but not before we located plenty of fish and boated 5 trout.
Friday was too windy to fish, so it was spent in town doing errands and watching a baseball game.
Saturday, today, we set out at 8 am with two Rick’s and two Johns, clients that I took out 2 years ago. Fishing was slow after the wind we had for the last 1-1/2 days, as we only landed 6… only 1/2 of our catch from 2 years ago. Fish we scattered and hard to locate, but at least we caught some using spin and glows, green spoons and a couple of FinnAction Lures.
