Fished for first time in a while. Left the downriggers home and glad I did. Got to first point around 6:00 and along with a good friend nailed around 15 with 4 keepers. Big fish around 26". Didn’t find them until late. All on U rigs. Just trying to cover water and find fish.
Nice…did you fish the lower lake or mid lake?

Lower. Really killed them today.
Gonna give it a try tommorrow evening. anyone else gonna be out there. ran by sportsman warehouse and grabbed me a couple of plugs to troll. never tried it out of the jon boat before but there is a first time for everything. haven’t decided to try and use the trolling moter or outboard yet, guess i will figure all that out on the fly.
Troll with gas motor. You will kill your battery if you use the tm. I will probably be out there.
Think I’m going to give it a try too. Hoping to get on the lake by about 7:30 and troll a few hours and see how the fishing is with the full moon out tonite.

i only brought home 1, but a nice 24" fish. this was the only fish to hit my smaller lure. Had 9 knock downs on my other lure but couldn’t hook up. this lure was about 3 to 4 inchs bigger than a stretch 25. then again it may have just been the color they were hitting. fish caught on green and blue (dolphin color) and all the knock downs came on a blue and grey.
at least you kept the skunk out of the boat …i got off work a little later than expected and was tired and didn’t have it in me to get ready …gonna get the boat ready in the morning and give it a go Fri nite
if that plug you missed all those fish with is that much bigger than a stretch 25 I bet the hooks are pretty huge for the little fish we catch these days. I’d try replacing them with some smaller treble hooks, about the size on a stretch 2, and I bet you start hooking up when they hit
