Headed out of portage well before daybreak and was surprised no other trailers were at the launch. Safety should always be #1 to everyone, me included. With that said the lake was fairly calm close to shore as I made my way to the discharge at Gary works. I pulled up and scanned the whole break wall for fish. It was loaded today!  Last weekend we barely marked a fish so that was a pleasant sight to see. I spot locked the minnkota and from the second cast it was nonstop action for about 1/2 an hour. Casting a shallow diving crank in an orange color did the best. No other boats were at Gary light first thing. I went 3/9 while casting and decided to troll around a bit. In short order I finished my limit and ended up throwing back half a dozen more. While trolling, my 3 color leadcore w/ stinger spoon did the damage and caught the biggest fish. Around 8:30am two other boats showed up and setup trolling. I almost didn’t go out this morning but I’m glad I did. Plenty of fish around and tomorrow looks to much nicer out. My biggest 3 fish were over 21”. Good luck fellow fisherman!

Cant beat that with a stick! Congrats.

Great job! Thanks for the report

Very well done.  It's a bit errie being the dark on the big lake for most.  How do you prepare your catch?

Nice report and great picks!

Good looking fish. Solid trip sounds like. Getting the fever.

Nice Work!  Some good looking fish. 

Typically I rub the filets in olive oil and then salt’n’pepper. Then I sear them at high temp on the grill for about 3 min., then I flip them onto foil and cook about 13 minutes on medium temp. Try it out and you can’t go wrong with some variations!
