Good job on the fishes.. Yup, you dont hear much for fishing over that way, besides the spring and fall. But it is good fishing. Hopefully next weekend treats you well too.

[Jim Hudson]

I hear ya about summer flying by.. But thats good too. I love fall fishing.. And up in Corny, in the fall, the fishing will be good!!

[superiorfishguy]

Took out time getting out Saturday, cause of Corny days and walking with wife through flea market Saturday morning--was calm as glass out there from 8-10am, we decide to go out at 10 am to a suprising rough waters by then!! We went out to end of the bay there and turned around and came back in--lil too rough to be able to enjoy the fishing--had to be 3-4 rollers out there!!! So we bummed around til 3pm and tried again with it a lil less rough and fish til 6pm caught one nice 10pd laker on a reed runner--orange and yellow in color 250 ft behind boat- no planner board used in about 150 fow and had the others set on downrigger with no takers-- stay rough the whole time out there, so we decided to head back and go to Fish Lips and have a few!!! Didnt make it out Sunday the nicest day after stay at Fish Lips til 2am!! lol Oh well cant catch em all right!!

[superiorfishguy]

Went out both days for few hours before got too rough or til we had enough boucning around!! Saturday, wife, step daughter and I went out from 9am-1pm with only one fish to show a laker around 3pds, had a release but missed em, then we took ride over to Outdoor Allure pick up a few new spoons, time we got back to late to go out fishing but was like glass in the evening out there!!! Sunday we tried again from 8-12 and caught 2 lakers about same smaller side and had a coho to boat but stepdaughter missed it in net!!! rookie!! then we headed in-- marked alot of fish lil higher this weekend 40ft on up--temp were from 57-60 caught most fish with stick baits on surface behind boat 250ft back and one 40 ft down on watermelon-- wasnt the greatest weekend, but still fun!!

[superiorfishguy]

Wife and I fished from noon til around 6 pm--once stopped rainging, boy did it get nice out!! calm and nice, we fished over by Sand Island area and did ok--caught 7-3 lakers, one 6 pd brown,3 kings around 3 pd each--2 on surface with silver reef runner and a few one a pink spoon down at 40' and a few on watermelon spoon down at 52' was funn again!!

[superiorfishguy]

Wife and I did ok both days even though not out for many hours cause of the weather!! Saturday from 9:30-1 pm we caught 5 2 lakes and 3 kings--watermelon and gold colors from 70-30ft down on riggers and in about 130-8-ft of water, then rain and fog set in. Sunday we went out from 9:30-11:30 and then got rain out and we caught our limit of lakers in that time--was fun!! water temp is around 55-56.

SuperiorFishGuy - I'm heading up to Bayfield this weekend and have never fished it. A few questions on your post...are those watermelon and gold spoons? I need a few lures before I get there and wonderin what kind to get. If I were to limit myself to 5 or less lures, what would you (or others) recommend to see the most action? (lakers first)

For depth of water, is 130-8 fow 8' to 130' or 130' to 138' fow?

Thanks.

[superiorfishguy]

the gold ones i have are like gold/lil purple and gold/other colors too!! watermelon and bright spoons not bad either--that just me saying this too!!

[superiorfishguy]

Wife and I fished all day Friday 5/8 started at Corny to Barks bay--found 42 water temp and with no releases---then tried Eagle to Sand Island finding 40wt with nothing--then fished from Sand to Squaw pt and found 43 wt and picked up 2--3pd browns along the shore using orange--brownish colored stick baits--fished til that front came in around 5pm wind changed and waves cames with it--was fun!!!

[superiorfishguy]

Wife and I fished some Saturday and then few hours Sunday before heading back home--we caught 2 browns--7 and 4 lb and one 3 lb king--all off Squaw Pt--water temps from 42-50 with 2 fish on Sunday caught on surface in 30 feet of water--copper reef runner and a 57 chevy--other brown 100 fow and 30 feet down with a pink spoon--no lakers yet for me!!

[superiorfishguy]

[fishcanoe]

I put my boat in on Friday at Little Sand Bay. Ran it out about ten min. and back. Rig up new leaders on my line than sat around the campfire drinking beer and telling fish stories. I didn't catch a thing
