This is going to look like a Capt. George post; all broken but hopefully full of information.
Best day north of bridge. Took an old friend, Will(75 yr) and Lou out of Bodkin Creek.
Spread:
1) Ctr rod 2oz inline 200 ft
2)StrBd rod 4oz 120 ft
3) port rod 8oz 100 ft
4)StrBd rod 12oz 80 ft
5) port rod 16oz 60 ft
6) dipsey diver 15 ft deep
7) dipsey diver 20 ft deep
Ctr rod had #17 tony all other rods #15 tony's
Boated 15 fish most 25-30 inches:D.
Fished from 2 pm to half hour before dark.
Fished mostly 18-30 ft of water.
After trolling about 12 fish, trolling rods went away and boated 3 bubba's on 6 inch bkd's and ran the old guy all around the boat with us holding on to his belt from behind (to help with his balance).
Had to lift the motor out of the water to keep from breaking off the fish in the prop. It had him all over the boat. Biggest smile you ever saw:D.
After three on light tackle, he was done; and so were we.
I have to retie all my tackle and replace some hooks on the #15 tony's (bent to hell).
Great evening for all:):):):).
No sea lice, but I was definately looking on such big fish.
GET out ON the WATER. It's Happening NOW.

Thanks for the report congrats on a great day. I'm chomping at the bit to get out there.

Jim; I usually only run 6 rods, but my older friend brings his "muskie" rod with him all the time. I made it the ctr rod and put it way behind to get it out of the way. It caught one fish tonight. The deeper rods work best most of the time. If you see birds working, or bait busting, the top rods hold there own.

FWIW: Jim at Marty's has a replacement hook for the #15 Tony.

Yep; I bought several. I think they are mustad hooks, but they have no feathers.

Sorry I missed your seminar last night, but I was cleaning blood off the boat:D.
