Reel commentary: Set lines at 8 in 65 fow n trolled out to 90; both riggers went off in 75fow but probably on sliders not down lines because after few bounces and pulls, gone.
Had out 225' 30lb and 280 45lb copper with spoons n flasher/flies; spoons on dipseys and riggers. Put spin n glo and chrome dodger on rigger later and had three releases on east troll. short hits.
1s at 8am but built up to 2-4s around 11; had to get home early and we knew wind n rain was supposed to start around noon.

Great day on the lake, but black n white kitty is still in the box.

Heard from my neighbor that another Jackson fishermen did well in 180fow. Again hind site had I know maybe would have headed out there first thing before lake built up.
There were no St Joe reports on 3 sites
I use and that's probabvly because of our steelheaders St Joe tourney.
