Memorial Day near West Sister
The Bug-O-meter was off the charts on Monday, as I sit her scratching another fly bite on my wrist. ugh! :mad: I took 4 young kids with me, my kids and the neighbor kid.
Fortunate for us, the Fish-O-meter was also cranking away.
We started trolling with the new trolling motor 2 miles Southwest of the Island. We trolled in a large circle all the way around the island clockwise and then to C-Can. The School of fish never seemed to end. Hook after hook at 20 feet. We set up with 2oz inline sinkers 35-40 back at about 2mph per the GPS. Crawler harnesses of any color worked. Spoons just caught white bass.
After about an hour of, ahem, :rolleyes: "gentle" direction, we were able to stop chasing flies and run the program. The kids soon learned what fun it can be with 4 fish on at the same time :)
And on and on it went. All in all a good lesson for the boys and a reminder to me that I have alot of patience!
