Belmont Harbor                                  July 13, 2003

Hello John

First a little about the crew. The Boats owner and Captain is Randy K. (Skeeter). His brother Brian K. takes care of the starboard riggers and selects both lures and depth. Likewise for myself on the port side. We keep tabs on which side catches most fish each day and always have a friendly wager going. No money ever exchanges hands as Brian never pays when he loses so I don't feel obligated to pay when he occasionally wins. Tim K. (Timbo) was in charge of the (Jed Line) leadcore line and part of my team. While Brian usually rotates guest stars of Gig, Rick, Skippy, or the famous Walleye Walsh. Capt. Skeeter in all fairness tries to help with advise and fish with the team that is doing best that day, so he is usually on my side. 

July 13th, beautiful morning to be on the lake. Left Belmont harbor about 6:15 AM on the Water Warrior with Capt. Skeeter and group of six. Set up the 4 riggers in 70 fow and trolling in N direction. First fish a 4lb Coho came about 20 minutes later off of Brian's side (starboard) on a silver dodger with white fly set at 58ft. Fish#2 5lb Coho (Brian's side) same set up and depth in about 78 fow. Fish # 3 and 4 (both 5lb coho's) came on Ron's side (port) with a gold and silver flasher and white and green fly with the rigger counter and 45 in 75 fow. 

Log a little confusing from there as the fish frenzy we have been waiting for all year finally happened. We had doubles, triples and even four on at a time. Netting about 22 fish and lost 4 or 5. With the two largest being kings 8.8 lbs and 9.6 lbs. The hot lures were the silver or silver and gold flasher with white or white and green. Hot spoons were solid silver, or white and light orange. Also two fish off the leadcore with counter at 260 and 222 off gold and silver spoon. We released several of the fish that were in best condition. 90% of the fish came off a North troll in 65 to 80 fow and 35 to 63 ft down. 

All in all it was a perfect day with the with 11 fish off each side of the boat and not a single hook in any idiot's finger. Will send pictures later this week.

Sunday July 6th

Fishing from the Water Warrior (43 ft Jefferson)

Late start (8:30 AM) With possible bad weather rolling into area we 
headed straight out from the harbor and set lines when we got to 65 fow. Set 6 
lines off the 4 down riggers and got first fish ( 7lb Coho) in 73 fow 
at 48 down on a Silver and Gold flasher with green and gold fly. Next 3 fish 
came off of the same lure and same depth trolling 75 fow to 98 fow. All 
Coho 4 to 6 lbs. 

Took one 8lb King just before pulling lines ( the storm was coming) 
on Orange dodger with Green and Black spoon in 68 fow at 65 
down. Fishing has not been great this year out of Belmont. But most 
Coho are in the 4 to 7lb range. We usually go out for about 5 hours per 
trip and have been averaging 6 fish for the day.
