I launched at Crescent Bay at 10:00. It was overcast with a slight breeze. Temp. in the upper 30's or low 40's. I was fishing out of my 14' Livingston. First fish about 10:30 on the orange Rapala. The next 7 fish came to the orange Kekeda! I was flat lining the Rapala 185' back. I had the Kekeda on the mini-downrigger from 15 to 25'. The weight on my downrigger is too small for the speed I was trolling. I was dealing with a lot of blowback. Like, 45 degrees or flatter. So, I was dropping it 25 to 45 cranks. I tried multiple other offerings on the surface line that did not produce. I stopped C&R and kept my fifth fish at around 13:30. I drove home listening to the Hawks. It was a good day out. I got to scratch that itch!!!
