Sounds like a great trip Dave!
How fast was your trolling speed. I am prepping for our trip Father's Day Weekend.
I know the fish up there are not all "lunkers" but just catching fish in that setting is a small slice of heaven!
Sounds like you trolled just hardware....Did you try any live bait?
I like to fish sometimes like your grandfather did....and that is throwing live bait on the bottom and catching them on my spinning rod. I think they call that "Still Fishin"!!!

Hey there Bob, didn't try any live bait at all. That's the first time we've ever done well trolling (I still say it's "The Tubb" LOL) but the way you explained is the only way I ever fished with dear old grandpa and LOVED (and miss) Every Minute of it. There were about 5 boats anchored in 28' of water by the sandbar but in all honesty they weren't catching anything, every time we trolled by them we would catch one, got to the point were we could hear them saying "Here comes that Starcraft again, we taking bets there gonna hook up again?" It was kind of funny and if not for dear old momma nature we would have stayed a little longer. We were trolling 2.1 to 2.3 picking up both lakers and salmon. Take Care God Bless LOL Dave
