Moved deeper for Lakers and went 12 for 15 in 2 hours. Was hard keeping 4 rods in the water! Was good to get the boat out for the first time!

Were they all lakers that you caught off shore? My Searunner 190, "Four "D's" and a "C". Retirement money well spent.

If you're trolling, it's pretty tough to beat a downrigger with an 8" trash can dodger and a "laker taker" type lure, a spin and glow in front of a 2-3 inch trolling fly. Have the rigger bouncing bottom occasionally

Divers fished near the bottom with spoons work pretty well too
