rps Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I snuck out early and came in before noon. In between: I fished my top water for almost an hour. I had one fish on for maybe 10 seconds. I saw the thermocline is really getting more solid at 25 feet. I marked many bait fish at 10 to 15 feet I trolled five locations between Holiday Island and Eagle Rock. I caught three walleye, one each at three of those locations. Two were suspended in tree tops. One was on a flat. Storm Thundercrank with 120 feet of 10/2 braid out (about 18 feet deep) pulled between 1.8 and 2.4 mph. I also towed a Cobalt with five or six people from near Holiday Island to the powerline flats below Fletchers. Busy morning. Nap time.
Members Hillbilly Deluxe Posted July 26, 2011 Members Posted July 26, 2011 Sort of like my Sunday, rps. I caught a nice smalllmouth off the face of the dam (left end in the rip rap) then caught a nice LM off the rock bluff left of the dam along the river channel. As I was heading for my next spot, I saw an older guy with passengers at the end of a point waving a white towel at me. He was with his son and two grandsons. Their boat wouldn't start and they were pinned on the point by the wind. I towed them back to Rock Lane and got the boys at the dock to give them a hand. By that time, I decided to put the Ranger in the slip and head for a cold drink! Brian www.outdoorguysradio.com
techo Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 You have been a little slow on the saving people this year RPS! Glad you two are out there! Tim Carpenter
rps Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Techo, are you never going to let me off the hook? I did one little bitty nice thing - really more of a supporting role - and now you expect me to be some character like Kickass. BTW, I believe that movie deserves guilty pleasure status.

Guest Buck Creek Mike Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 RPS, you are a good man for helping out the stranded boaters. I was in the same situation on LOZ two weekends ago and was sure thankful once I got some help.
