Fished Cavanaugh again Saturday and Sunday. Saturday my buddy and I were lucky enough for a two man limit and on Sunday my little brother, friend, and I were shy of our limits by two fish. Fillets. It was super windy up there Sunday and blew us all over the lake. Had put the kicker in reverse when going with the wind to get speeds down. Didn't matter what time of the day it was. Caught fish consistently over the 4 hours we were there. Lots of skiers. Made for an interesting day of rocking and rolling trying to set up downriggers. We took water over the side from the wake surfers a couple times. Overall it was a success other than blowing a tire on the way home tonight. Buddy in the picture helping jack the trailer up while I stopped to take a picture. Garlic scent 50ft of water riggers at 42ft.

I've got the exact same cleaning table... from Cabela's?

Dicknite Dodgers and wedding rings I tied up. It's way cheaper to tie up your own lures than to buy them. So I tied up a ton of wedding rings and just beaded spinners with Dakota blades. I am ordering 25 blank nickle dodgers tomorrow and I'll paint a few of my own to try out. Kokanee are so difficult that the colors changed all day from green, chartreuse, and orange. Haven't had any luck with pink up there yet.

Yes! We used it as a wheel chock. The other side got the receiver and the blown side got the anchor. Had to park it on a hill. It was lame. We disconnected drove to the house, then pulled a tire off the other trailer and put that one on to get it home.
