Ontonagon 05/18 - 20

Put my wife and mother on 7 (6 lakers, 1 salmon) Friday. My brother , a friend and I got 10 (6 lakers, 4 salmon) Saturday. We struggled on Sunday for 1 laker and lost a couple. Weather was cooperative until mid Sunday AM when lightning ended things. Spoons (green mostly) on riggers, orange/black thinfin and fire tiger deep T-stick Jr were the best for us. Slide divers and dipseys were dead for the most part.

Thanks for the report Tim. Ontonagon is a cool town.

Nice work Tim....I assume you fished the tournament? What did the leader board look like?

Yes we were fishing the tournament. They called it about 9 or so Sunday AM as lightning strikes were hitting the water over by Silver City. Friday the big laker for the women was 15 lbs and change. I think the winning weight was in the upper 20s for the "Powderpuff" Division. For the Sat/Sunday part of the tournament (somebody can correct me if I am wrong as I just took a quick look before hitting the road on Sunday afternoon) the winning weight was 45 lbs + change. I'm guessing if you had upper 20's you probably had a shot at some prize money as it went 8 places deep. The big laker prize was just over14 lbs. The big chinook around 5 or 6 lbs. The big brown was just under 10 lbs, Rainbow around 4-5 lbs. The big coho prize went to a 1.96 lber... my 1.86 lber from Saturday was knocked off Sunday. Saw some at the cleaning station that would've maybe edged into money. Just goes to show to weigh every fish.

Thanks for the report Tim. That sounds like a hell of a nice superior Brown caught:thumb:
