Pre Easter shakedown run
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 8:56 pm
Launched from the Winooski Saturday morning around 7am and was the first one at the launch. Got out off the mouth to find 38 deg water temps. Set out four inline boards with two having blue silver Husky jerks and the remaining lines with a J13 in blue and a blue walleye wiggler. On our first pass in 8fow we were hooked up on the walleye wiggler!
Netted this nice 6lber with a 20" hitchhiker clinging on.
Here is the 20" Lamprey, by far the biggest I have ever seen.
Before we finished our first pass we hooked up again on the blue husky and boated another 6lber. By the time we netted that fish we had left the warm water from the river and headed back south. As soon as we pulled over the way point we got the first fish we hooked up again on the walleye wiggler with a skinny 30"er weighing in at 7lbs on the noose.
We had one more fish hooked but it got off, so we headed toward apple tree to find some warmer water. Much to my surprise we hit water temps of 42 deg before we got to apple tree but there didn't seem to be any fish holding in it. We packed up and headed to shelburne bay to see what we could find there. With temps of 33 deg in the bay it seemed that not much was going on there so we packed up for the day and headed back to the launch. Great spring day to be on the water with a little bonus slime in the boat.
