AREA FISHED ------------- BRADYS BRIDGE

WATER TEMPERATURE-- cold

FISHING METHOD ------- jiggin

BAIT/LURES USED ------- jigs

NOTES --------------------- We couldn't stand waiting for good ice. We took the privledge of the open water by Bradys Bridge. We were casting on the open side, and was only a couple of minutes before Chris hooked up. It was only small perch and baby walleyes but it was better then not fishing. We totaled 10 or so small yellow perch and 2 walleys that were 8inchs. Small but at least catching something. It seemed to be the walleyes that we stocked earlier in the year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!1

NOTES --------------------- No ... I wasn't the only boat out there, there was one other. I figured I could get a few hours in before the weather got ugly. Picked up a 41 inch muskie around 10am while trolling in 30ft of water searching for suspended fish. Remind anyone of Wilson from Tool Time?

DATE ---------------------- Saturday December 11, 2004

TIMES --------------------- 11AM - 4 PM

CONDITIONS ------------- Overcast, drizzly, winds from the South, cool to cold

AREA FISHED ------------- Main lake; Lee's Cove to Great Cove

WATER TEMPERATURE-- 40's

FISHING METHOD ------- Jigging

BAIT/LURES USED ------- 'gotchas'

NOTES --------------------- It wasn't a banner day for Scan-Tech Marine Salvage. We lost four 'gotchas' along with one lure retriever on some very stubborn anchor ropes. Last Sunday we did much better; using a lure retriever on our snagged lures we brought up two anchors and later that day we pulled up a tackle pouch full of bass plugs and buzz baits that probably flew off of someone's boat (...perhaps just one more reason not to zip across the main lake at 60+ mph in a bass boat). More importantly we pulled in six stripers and three walleye, all of them between 3 and 6 pounds. We had a steady drift from Chestnut Point to the Glass House and stayed between 35 to 51 feet in depth. As usual we saw Webguy trolling around the edge of the basin and towards 3:30 we watched him pull in a Musky between Nolan's Point and Halsey Island. All in all it was good day on the lake.

WATER TEMPERATURE-- 44

FISHING METHOD ------- trolling

BAIT/LURES USED ------- crankbaits

NOTES --------------------- I trolled the main basin hitting the drop offs and weedlines around the lake and landed one small muskie, maybe 30 inches or so. Lunker Limo was out in his boat with live bait and got a 5lb walleye while anchored in deep water. The Tracker Boys were out jigging deep water along with Hi-Tech Nitech and Salmon Hunter in another boat. It was pretty slow going all around, maybe it was TOO nice out! (Except for Carl & Bill!)
