My fishing buddy was so enamored with the Rainbows he trolled up last week, he wanted to go back for more. Ok by me, I'll try for those deep Bass I couldn't get to bite last week. Forecast close to 60°,light wind,partly cloudy.
Reality, maybe hit 54°,light wind, all clouds all day. Found the deep Bass in a couple spots,tried a tube, jig, hard jerkbait, drop shot with a halfshell,yum dinger, ocho, wacky worm, and a zoom monster worm, all fished painstakingly slow due to the 47°water. NADA, not even a sniff! Meanwhile my buddy tried the shallows with no success, so he started trolling. I saw trout feeding on the surface, an since I brought my trout bucket of goodies,I figured what the hey,why not. Threw a Mooselook Wobbler out behind the boat and kicked the trolling motor up to 1.7mph.
Had the first hit 5 minutes later, dropped him at the boat. Note to self :shut trolling motor off when fighting a trout!
Missed one more but brought 4 into the boat, forgot cooler so CPR ed all fish.
Another work buddy,trout fanatic,says Green lures don't work, so when i saw a deep school I threw out a firetiger Berkley derdger crankbait with lots of green on it. Tied the first fish at 1lb 13oz, the others varied from 14oz to 1lb 9oz. By the way, my buddy got skunked.

1lb 13oz


1lb 8oz


14oz


1lb 9oz


Another 1lb 13oz on a Green lure LOL
