Took some friends out saturday, had a decent morning out in front of the microwave again. We were marking a ton of bait and high hooks inside in 40-60 fow but couldn't ghet anything to go, so we headed north. Ended up 6/11 with 3 steelies to 10 lbs and 3 kings to 18 lbs boated. We dropped the first three bites so the average definitely picked up after that.

most of our action came between 200 and 240 fow. SW troll was the best, it seemed like every time we hit 230 on the SW troll another rod would fire.

Gold blade kevorkian on the 50' rigger went 4 times, R&R Frog on a wire diver went 3 times, silver and red evil eye mag went twice on the 200' copper, green glow SD/Atommik TG Fly on the rigger went once and the green pro chip green hypnotist Siggs went once on the wire diver. Divers were firing at 150 and 180 back on a 2.

The lake got a bit bumpy by 11:00 and just as the last steelie was netted we had a bit of drama when the engine died. A bow line somehow came undone and got wrapped in the prop. Luckily I was able to get it loose by popping it into reverse, wasn't really looking forward to climbing over board and trying to untangle it hanging onto the swim platform in 3 footers.

Had 3 fish come aboard with large lampreys on em.

Here's a couple of pics of the kings my buddy's son boated:
