  1. Went out Sunday with the kids. We launched around 9a and returned a little after 2p. We started around a mile or two west of the Catt in 52FOW and trolled east until evangola then spun around and trolled back. We varied speed from 1.5-2.2, we ran riggers near bottom, 5 colors and 3 colors. All fish came on 5 colors with worm harnesses. Watermelon pattern harness took the biggest a 7.29 @ 27 1/2” with a lamprey attached! We tried 42-60fow never finding anything to stay on. We caught on harnesses purple black, purple pink, and copper pink. Kids reeled everything in, were all smiles and caught a mixed bag of eyes, sheepshead, white bass, and a smallie. Great Father’s Day!

  2. Nice! How do you like your Proline? I've been shopping around for a boat and trying to weigh out all of my options.  For budget reasons I'm probably going to need to get something used, how has yours held up?



    I love it. I too bought used. Have had it three seasons. Handles like a much bigger boat is a 231WA, has the outboard on a bracket. Handles the waves great, lots of room to walk around. Short on seating though, I have a couple bean bags to use for the kids. Cabin is nice, little sink, I tossed out the stove. Porta potty. Very happy!

  3. 6/17

    Started fishing a little before 6a called it around 2p. Put 5 in the box, 1 perch, dropped two at the boat and another 2 on the way to the boat. Waves picked up after 11 or so. Biggest was 24”. One of the drops may have been close to size for the derby but we’ll never know. 42fow held a ton of fish early, then 50-52 seemed best after noon. No pattern other than worm harnesses took fish, sticks only took one. Lots of traffic out there, everyone seemed to be playing nice.

    Tight lines everyone. Hope you all have a great Father’s Day. I’m going to try and get my daughters on the youth board Sunday, if I’m lucky maybe I’ll even reel one in!!

  5. Port of call for 2021 is Catt Creek. I hope Evans gets there business squared away and I can call Sturgeon Point home again someday but until then The Catt it is. Hoping to splash next week or the following and shake everything out for the STWA Tournament. Looking forward to a brand new season. I’ll post up here, please post up as well. Tight lines all. Just broke the old girl out yesterday. IMG_2146.JPG
