snowfish Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Fished with a friend in his boat out of LBM at 6:20 a.m. friday 6/24, and headed south. Straight off state park. Used 1 o.z. inline, and 1 oz. snap weights 6' to 8 fow. As long as harness was only about 3' down lots of weeds, need to be above them. We were running crawler harnesses 5' to 8' behind boards, trolling at 1.4-1.8mph. Was slow all morning from 6:30 until 1:00, only 7 keepers and that many throwbacks, plus a pike and a catfish. Went into castaways up the kawkawlin river for launch, picked up shawn's wife and headed back out to a couple waypoints where we got fish in morning. First pass, 5 on at one time Got all five in for total of 12, pulled in what wasn't a mess, untangle and run back upwind. Made another pass over same spot, bam...got our last 3. Only took 45 min. after launch to get 8 All together for day besides the limit was only 1 nice one lost at back of boats, atleast a dozen throwbacks, 2 perch, 2 pike,1 catfish,1 big dogfish, and something that yanked board and snapped line. They must have decided to bite! Or shawn's wife is a good luck charm! Even got his first bling on a nice eye close to 24". Good luck.....Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfish Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 just alittle wierd, but some awesome fishing.did you find out about the tagged fish?? it isnt one of cabelas fishing for millions tags is it?? sherman Tagged fish went the Capt.(shawn), his boat:D. It has to have 2 tags sticking out of back to be one of those worth $100. This just is a normal jaw tag. All the info on different tag types are in the fishing guide. He'll go on the DNR website and enter the info from tag along with length and weight of fish, and they'll send him the info on the fish as to where at, size, and when it was tagged. Pretty neat. I've got 3 in time living in B.C., and all have been tagged at dow dam on tittabawasee river. Someone caught one once at the mouth of Ausable that was tagged at dow dam. Guess they like to swim.
