TOPIC:

Finally got out this afternoon for our shake down trip. Planned to fish at portage and to the east on the way there but talked to a few boats coming out that said they caught zero fish at portage so we ran over to Gary. Set lines at about 130 and we wear done with a 3 man limit by about 4 30. Pretty much ran our spring king spread hoping for some big fish. Boated one nice laker that was somewhere around 15# and had another nice rip on a 150 copper that didn’t stay hooked up. All spoon program, mags and standard size both took fish. Didn’t see any bait on the graph and no bait in the fish when we cleaned them. 40 to 50 FOW and 2.6 to 2.8 S.O.G. Didn’t run the probe so not sure what speed was at the ball. West troll seemed more productive then coming east. It was the first time running the new garming trolling motor and have zero complaints there. No issues with anything so a successful shake down trip all in all. Hope we get some good weather Saturday for the tournament. Best of luck to everyone and see ya at weigh in! 

Way to go Will
