Chrome Day East of Kellys

[pimplepounder]

Hey there gang, Yesterday it shined just like the chrome on my 72 Torino.

What a nice day. Launched at Mazuricks around noonish and headed NE. Water was nice had a bit of chop in the trough but smooth enough I just let her eat. After a good long run I found myself over by the weather buoy area. Just a little bit North of where the line heads North East. There was not many folks around this time of day. I was seeing water depth of around 48 ft. Just a bit shallower than it was a mile or so South of there in my last post out of Huron at 51 ft..

Seeing how good the chrome Bandit worked for me the last time, I set out with the same rig. Rod 1 Chrome Bandit- 30ft. 3 oz clip weight plus 80 ft.
Rod 2 Pink Lemonaide Bandit 30ft. 3.0z weight plus 50 ft. Moving about 2.2 Mph

I reached for rod number 3 and looked back to see that the Chrome Bandit board doing that wonderful dance that says nice fish on!
Needless to say it was 24 incher. Hardly any time in the water. Set the rod back up and caught another shortly after. It was maybe 18 inches.. It was his lucky day. It was also on the Chrome also.

Had a dry spell for maybe 20 minutes. So I pulled in the pink lemonaide bandit and switched it out for the only other chrome bait a had. DDHJ. I just have a fondness for these particular lures for some reason. They just look good to me. At any rate I was marking fish at around 37 ft and I thought my Chrome Bandit rig might be a bit too deep so I kept the same 30- 50 setting I had been using with the rod number 2.

It was not long after that and bam that wonderful action on the planer board again. This time the on the DDHJ rod 2. Soon there after I had 4 fish taken on Rod Number 2 and a couple small ones on both set ups. This made 5 keepers in the box. This all in a small area I kept working. The sun was hot and the water was flat as can be. I inhaled a few bugs too. Darn things.

Well my spot dried up so I ventured out of my honey hole and trolled back towards a course heading back. Maybe 10 minutes in, the chrome Bandit did it again.

Anyhow all chrome and only 2 rods. Maybe 2.5 hours. I was thinking of taking a swim, but didn't. Headed back WOT on flat water, I just love that! Boat and trailer was unlatched in the garage and refilled with gas with a couple hours of daylight to spare. PS (The time is an hour slow on my Humminbird)

Excellent day.

Regards,

Kent
