Got stuck by Amtrak bridge so didn't get on lake til after 6. Ran NE about 30 heading. Lake still rolling from previous day blow. Set up 88'. downrigger down 55' moonshine gold blank half green jeans? spoon with Yeck fireball slider went screaming while I was letting 300 copper out. Grabbed downrigger rod for a minute line was coming up towards 300 copper. Set that rod down to clear copper, 1 more long run downrigger rod went quiet. Started over things quiet for about an hour. Changed 300 copper to songins black bam flasher with green krinkle fly. Changed downrigger to mag spoon down 60'. bending over to clip slider on rod released. Took slider off and stared reeling, 300 copper starts ripping. Downrigger rod goes quiet. grab 300 land 26" king with a 20" lamprey on it. Set lines again make a turn see 300 copper board leaning a little more than normal that turns into a 5# laker. Pulled lines ran in. Probe down 60 showing 55 to 59 degrees.Had a meat rig on wire diver down in the 70' range never got touched.

I am heading out of NB tomorrow morning but not getting out really early.  If you get out, give me a shout.   

If I get anything going I'll let you know. Planning on going out in the a.m. portage though. 

Thanks for reporting!
