OK, I got my Lund 1675 ProSport and we tested it out on Cherry Creek Lake. The lake did great on keeping the boat above the waterline. So far, so good.
The next day, we went to the bait shop (Valley Country Tackle) recommended to us on this forum. It is at Parker & Quincy, SE of the lake. The grizzled gent there said he wished he could give us better news, but the WE fishing was terrible. (I was surprised to see that he had some leeches for sale.)
We tried trolling some shad raps @ 6 - 8', without any luck near the swim beach and along the shoreline. We also tried some bottom bouncers with crawlers and spinner rigs, varying the depth - no dice.
About 200' off the rip rap, I was marking some good sized fish with their tails to the bottom in ~26' H2O. So, we switched to snap jigging with jigs tipped with crawlers. We were consistent in not producing any fish.
We saw a couple of boats near, and several people hanging onto, what looked like giant louvers at a tower, even though some buoys posted it as "No trespassing." They seemed to be fishing inside the tower or hanging onto to the louvers. Can anyone tell me what the transgressors were doing?
The only other real information I can pass on is that the H2O temp was 43 - 47 F, that a number of boats were on the water Friday, and my Lund will be a nice fishing platform - love the walk through windshield.
