Thanks for the great report, Kokecatcher!!

I played golf today instead of hitting the lake.

Next weekend for sure!

Peace, Tom

I fished Merwin yesterday, August 30. The early morning fishing was good. I got my line in the water at 0620 and had a limit at 0800. I lost three nice fish and had a couple of hits that did not hook. All fish were caught at 50 ft. I continue to use the 1.0 silver scale apex and an orange bead lure with a # 2 indiana silver blade that I make. I had an equal number of hits on each. The fish were not quite as large as last Friday. Two were 13", two were 14" and one was 14 1/2". There was wind Tuesday and whitecaps where I was fishing. Steering the boat and setting downriggers at the same time was not working very well so I motored west turned the boat around and let the wind push me about 1.1 mph. I repeated this several times. Best to let the wind work for you! The fish are still in good condition. Three of them had most of their scales. I will fish either on Thursday or Friday. Not many people are fishing. When I left about 0900 there were five trailers in the lot. The wind and whitecaps probably also kept the water vermin home.

Nice report, those sure don't look like late August fish! I may have to try and squeek one last trip in.

Nice report KC. It's hard to believe the fish aren't pink yet...awesomereport
