Yep, the area around Mud Creek is the exact same area you showed me last fall, and saw me fishing earlier this summer. We finished up (at 3:00 PM) fishing approximately where you were fishing north of us earlier this summer. Trolling we tried near the surface and all the way down to 36' -- all with downriggers. One exciting thing happened that I forgot to mention in my report above. Once I was using my right hand to help Tincanfsh land a fish, while holding my rod with my left hand. I got a bite and jerked the rod to set the hook, only to have my rod fly out of my hand. It was headed towards the deep when I was lucky enough to catch it in mid-flight. I have had several close calls with rods and reels, but so far I have been lucky.
