Went to Douglas for the first time in about 18 years this past Sunday. I just recently got back into fishing. We trolled spider-rigging and some long-lining for about 7 hours.
Ended up with 8 keepers and around 7-8 that were 0.5 inches under.![]()

I don't get in a rush to get onto the water early. Started about 1000. That's 10AM for you wannabe sailors. I cranked for about 4 hours and only got 5 fish, but, the were big mamma's. I also got catfish and the tangled mess associated.
All black females still full of eggs. The eggs in two of the fish had lost its bright yellow color. The remainder had the bright yellow color eggs, but I didn't know this until I filleted the fish.
Strange year for spawn.

Thanks for the report. Most sporadic spawn I've ever seen? Oh well, figuring them out is half the fun.

how deep were you fishing? i got some Bandits i like to try out
Congrats!
Just some of my 'sperience; the blacks will hit cranks but in the areas where both whites and blacks are mixed my bag was ALWAYS mostly whites. Aggressive little suckers when it comes to cranks. Good trip regardless.
