Oct 30 Trolling
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2022 8:02 am
Both my daughters came fishing Sunday and I'm happy to report everyone caught a salmon along with a few other fish. Light winds, sunny, comfortable temperatures, biting fish, and no loss of fishing gear - doesn't work out that way very often. What a wonderful way to spend the day together !
On the water at Ft Cassin 10 AM, back at 4:40 PM, trolled north and south of the launch and found water temperatures in the low 50's. We ran downriggers, lead-core with inline planer boards, and 1 leadcore line straight off the stern. Most fish came on the riggers, only got 1 on the sterm leadcore line, none on the planers. Lost several fish on the riggers too, mainly when we got distracted by crazy kid antics and didn't notice a release until the fish was already off the hook.
