Phish Finder:
To be honest, we really did not do much different than the previous day. Tommy and I “lost” at the boat an 8 + fish and three fish in the 4 – 5lb range. We were pulling leadcore over flooded timber wit h #7 shad raps. About the only suggestive difference is on day one, we used oversized Mustad Triple Grip Trebles hooks on our Shad Raps. For some unknown reason, we were losing the fish (on other Body of waters, including Lake Pepin, this is a huge benefit). On day 2 we used the standard hooks that come wit h Rapala’s and we only lost one 8 + fish (bummer again).
We did go out a little deeper as the shores were getting pounded pretty heavy and I do not think those fish were use to all the pressure in the shallows. Jim Siewert
