Nice!  Looks like you guys have them dialed in.   :tup:  How'd that burbot taste?  I've heard they're really good.

Got some saved.  :tup:  Hopefully when you get over here this coming weekend we will do a little better than we did this weekend. The fish were not biting as good with all the snow and rain. Had almost 1 in. of snow in the boat on Friday.       Sat. was nice the sun came out and warmed up.

BLKBEARKLR and I  hit the lake again sat. and sunday. Ended up with 4 lakers and 1 salmon on sat. On sunday we ended up with 11 lakers. Lost 2 downrigger balls and about 100 foot of cable. Got snagged on something on the bottom. Got most of them jigging.

Greg,

Thanks for taking me out, had a good time. Sorry about the downrigger balls. I think the punishment of reeling up one pound cannon balls was a little harsh though  :chuckle:

Let me know when we can do it again.

Not your fault with the downrigger balls  :chuckle: :chuckle:  It was the cable. time to re-line them.   It was fun. The one pound ball are a pain in the a$$ when you have around 400 feet of line out.  :chuckle:

its all good, have three more ranches to check out when I get back there, it is kind of like finding a new place to hunt, you got to do some recons first. Only thing that bites is it is a 500 mile drive one way and you still got to pay them.
