well Shawn. i was trolling to test out some new costom blades i made up for Mac fishing. so the first 20 min's or so i was playing with the blades see how they were working and all.. thats when tommy cought his fish.. [sly]
and that was on a sling-blade and a squid bait left on the rod from FG he just put a worm on it.. [cool] show's what i know i said he should change it. he said no he wanted to see it how it worked and i'll just put a worm on it.. well it work.
E-lake can be a jeckl&hide lake for bait fishing.. but the minnows will catch fish any day and most any time as well.. i have found i the morning's use a bubble put the Bait down 5 to 10 feet. fish it 10 to 15 feet off the shour. later in the day put it on the bottom in about 15 to 25 feet of water.. in a boat even better go to the east side find a spring throw the minnow right up into the head of the spring and let it drift back to the deeper water.. work's great most days..
i have been getting alot more fish this year doing the same thing but with tube jigs.. salt and pepper 2" 1/4 oz head.. just cast it out close to shour and play with it tell you find what they want.. or you can just put some cut minnoew's on the tube and jig right off the bottom 10 to 20 feet deep..
trolling at E-Lake is a sure fire fish gitter.. small pop gere and worm or minnow will allways work. if your like me and dont like pulling the gear and want to cover more ground troll a yo-ziry.. that blue and silver bow i was useing up ther was doing good all day long.. troll fast 2.5 or better. downrigges work good for keeping ya down where ya want it. but leaded line works good as well just harder to contol.. every time i got the boat in 45 to 30 feet of water and could keep it there i would hook up.. get close to the shour works best most days.. 25 feet deep was the sweet spot for them sunday..
what day are ya going? i'm going to finish up this job in minnasota tomorow and be home for the weekend. i'm thinking of heading up and camping for the weekend or more.. lol
