DAY 1
We met Captain Randy at the launch bright and early, and it wasn't long before we were rigged up and trolling deep for Lake Trout or Atlantic Salmon.
Also wouldn't take long for Captain to get on the board. The lampreys are alive and well as you can see by the scars on this fish and the actual lamprey that we pulled off of him. Nasty suckers!
My turn, my very first lake trout as well.
Lake Trout were catch and release, so we were also hoping to land a few Atlantic Salmon to take home. Jon was up and connected on this nice one. Steaks!
I recall the fishing slowed a bit during the hot mid-day, but we kept at it. Here's Captain Jon learning what he could from Captain Randy to prepare us for our DIY the next day. Captain Randy was happy to share.
We wanted to find some Salmon so we picked up and headed south to a deep bay closer to shore, but despite multiple presentations at different depths, they were elusive.
A little later on in the afternoon, we headed back out to deeper water and found a few more cooperative Lakers. Nice ones too!
