Sunday 5/1/22 Bulwagga Bay DYP Partner Practice
Posted: Mon May 02, 2022 9:38 am
Went fishing on Sunday With my DYP Partner (Brown Trout) (11 yr old) and my Cousin Jeff on Sunday launched chimney Point at 6 am. Saw Dilly worm at the launch. Good to see you Dilly.
Finally, Brown Trout decided it was now warm enough to go fishing. He is excited for the DYP tournament to be entered.
Managed our way to the NY side north of the Port Henry to troll South into Bulwagga Bay. Sunny. Surface Temp 46 deg. Right off the bat Jeff and Brown Trout picked up a couple of lakers. Then, it was all quiet for 2 hours. We had on Yo-zuri pin needle stick baits with 1 sinker 140 ft out on planners and black/silver spoons on riggers down 15 ft. That was the hot ticket last weekend, but nothing Sunday on that set up with several circles in the bay.
Decided to switch things up. On planner, replaced yo-zuri sticks with purple Rapalla deep diving shad raps and replaced the Cop Car spoon (black/silver) with Brown trout and bikini copper spoon (copper) and that was the ticket. We were hitting silver left and right about 9 am. Its amazing one weekend one thing is hot and another weekend you got have something else ready to switch to.
Nothing big enough to win the DYP, but we will keep practicing. We went 6 for 9 on silver. Released 3 back. Caught 1 18" steelhead. Caught 3 lake trout and released 2. Lost a very large lake trout just at the net.
Our son brought home salmon dinner cooked Filipino style with whole fish stuffed with onion, tomato, ginger, and lemons. Served with rice and a sauce of soy sauce with chopped onion, tomato, cilantro and hot peppers.
Had a great day with Brown Trout's first day back on the water. We will keep practicing for the DYP.
