Made it out from 3-6 PM trolled around for coho for an hour or so with only 1 fish to show for it. Moved deeper for Lakers and went 12 for 15 in 2 hours. Was hard keeping 4 rods in the water! Was good to get the boat out for the first time!

Way to go on the fish. Were they all lakers that you caught off shore?

Yes sir but we targeted them pretty specifically. I had one high line with a thin fin out that didn't get touched.

Thanks for the report and nice job! This may be a dumb question considering you and others are getting out there but I assume ice on the lake is no longer an issue?

Great on the Lakers , what did you catch them on, the same lures you were using for coho? It would be great to know,
Plan on going out this weekend and if no coho, I want to try for the lake trout. Thank you

If you're trolling, it's pretty tough to beat a downrigger with an 8" trash can dodger and a "laker taker" type lure, a spin and glow in front of a 2-3 inch trolling fly. Have the rigger bouncing bottom occasionally

Divers fished near the bottom with spoons work pretty well too
