This morning Steve and I launched at Klum Landing just as the sun peeked over the treetops. We were both using Panther Martin Lake trolls and started catching fish right off the bat. He had put on Rainbow power bait and I tried some Rainbow Candy powerbait. We both had fish on within the first 5 minutes of getting on the water. I figured it was time to try some of the stuff in my "Care Package" from a friend. I put on the silver/red troll and hung a 3/8 oz weight on it and it worked nicely, with 'yellow' power bait. We trolled around the floating restroom catching and releasing 10 to 13 inch fish till about 9:30. We decided to try the north side of the island and deeper water. We added more weight and went deeper, but the bite had died and only a few hits here and there, but no hookups. I changed to several different types of gear, and hooked up with a Vances 'Little Slim Willie' flasher and 1/2 live worm, but the fish self released at the boat, and that was heading south on the east side of the island. We worked the area around the floating restrooms again but nothing, and gave in at 11:30, packed everything up and came home. The water temp was 55.3 when we launched and 56.9 degrees when we took out. The breeze had come up about 10:15 blowing from the south.
