Knife River-9-13-09

Got on the lake a bit late, 7:30 due to the slow drive through the fog. Set up for 100-110 FOW with 2 riggers and 2 leadcore which proved useless for me.
Knife to McQuade
First 2 lakers came in on blue and green spoon by the time i reached Stoney point.
SWR was not proving to be prodictive so I retired him after 2 hours.
Switched to Pink lots a dots and orange ladderback which took two each by the time we hit Mcquade to finish our limit by 2pm.
By the time we finished, the fog had rolled in quite thick. We had to follow the electronics back as visability was extremely poor. We did notice that there were quite a bit of fish jumping and swirling just outside Knife harbor when we returned???
Marked more than normal amounts of fish on the bottom infront of McQuade in 100-110 but not wanting what we offered, atleast in the afternoon.
6 for 6 on lakers, 18-30″. Might not be super hot but I’m pretty happy for my 5th trip on the lake. Now if I can just get going on this Salmon thing…

At a Boy, Chucker! No one is really doing well on the Salmon this year so don’t feel bad. Going up the next 2 weekends to try and hammer out some 20 lbs’ers. Haven’t heard alot from up there so glad you chimed in. Thanks and great report.

I just got home and got a big zippo off the breakwater for 5 days of casting. Boaters were trolling up some nice redfins in 200+ feet of water. I saw three yesterday that one angler had….22,13,11 pounds. I got one sisowet off the wall that was about 18 inches. No salmon at all, but then there’s no water in any of the rivers either.
