Was the second rig at the lake at 5:50 am and fishing at 6 with the sunrise. Right off the bat the bite was on while i was laying out trolling gear. I was really out to test out some boat upgrades and new tackle and evaluate some sonar changes for a trip to the east side. I was trolling berkley flicker shads on a planer board and running a downrigger close to the bottom where i was marking large fish. It paid off boated (3) 2lb trout 2 off the flicker shad and one on a wedding ring off the rigger which i kept. I released 8 other small trout till about 11. Trolling bass lures has always produced bigger fish for me. The bite was very sunshine dependent with trolling..sun shine bite on..clouds or fog bite off. Nice day on the water with alot of other boats out.
