Went up to Rufus to try it some more. I upgraded from 36LBS thrust electric to a 1969 MERC 4HP(Look out now I can really range!) We fished from the can line on up to above pump #1. My youngest picked up 2 with a perch Rapala. I got 1 & missed 1 on dodger & wedding ring. We got plenty wet but had some fun. In talking to others it was slow. So that made Jeremy realize that we were lucky.

If I'm not mistaken you were trolling the whole time? Down-riggers or no? I like hearing this! I'd rather troll than plunk or jig any day Thanks for the heads up.

We trolled here and there while going up the lake on the Douglas Co. side. But, once the rain started coming down we trolled The Okanogan Co. side all the way back . For the most part I was playing chicken with the bank & watching the fish finder & only drug through the weeds a few times. No down-riggers. Flat lined with about 1/4 Oz. weight in front of either set up.

hey afk, Congrats on your upgrade, and you put fish in the boat, which it wasn't all luck. Way to go. Jeremy looks chilled, but a happy fisherman anyway. That's awesome. It is great to see the younger ones get a chance at the sport of fishing. You were making some fantastic memories out there, keep up the awesome work.
