"B" CAN PROGRAM

[BENNY]

OUR GROUP, WHICH INCLUDED 4 BOATS, FISHED THE AREAS JUST NORTH AND A FEW HUNDRED YARDS SOUTH OF "B" CAN SAT-SUN-MON. BY FAR THE BEST BITE WE'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. BECAUSE OF OVER-CAST SKIES WE MARKED AND FISHED IN VERY CLEAN WATER NORTH OF B CAN SAT-SUN...WATER TEMP WAS 41-42. MONDAY'S HIGH SKIES PUSHED US INTO DARK WATER SOUTH AND WEST OF B CAN...WATER TEMP 44. PROGRAM SATURDAY-SUNDAY CONSISTED OF PLANNER BOARDS AND DEEP REEFRUNNERS (BLUEBERRY MUFFIN, WATERMELLON, WONDER BREAD)AND RAPALA HJ-12 DEEP CHROME AND BLUE FISHED HIGH (25' BACK), AND LOW (UP TO 80' BACK). 30 FISH CAUGHT EACH DAY. FISH CAUGHT HIGH AVERAGED 8 LBS. FISH CAUGHT LOW AVERAGED 10 LBS SOME EVEN IN THE 12 LB CLASS. ALL OF OUR FISH SAT-SUN WERE SPAWNED OUT. AGAIN, TURNS AND CHANGE OF SPEED WAS THE KEY. WE CALLED THEM "CRAZY IVANS"
MONDAYS PROGRAM CHANGED TO SLOW-ROLLING .5 TO 1.0 MPH IN DIRTY WATER. FISHING CLOSER TO THE REEFS WE BEGAN TO CATCH FEMALES WITH EGGS, AND PRODUCED SOME AMAZING SIZES. 20 FISH CAUGHT. TEN FISH OVER 10 LBS AND ONE THAT WENT 12.5 LBS. ALL THE FISH WERE RELEASED. THE BITE WAS A LITTLE SLOWER THAN SAT-SUN CLEAR WATER FISHING, BUT PRODUCED SOME INDIVIDUAL RECORD FISH FOR TWO BOATS. AGAIN DEEP REEF RUNNERS IN CHEAP SUNGALSSES AND WATERMELLON PRODUCED OUR BEST FISH AND ALSO QUANTITY. MOST AGGRESSIVE BITE WAS ON HJ-12 CHROME BLUE SET HIGH. JUST AN FYI TO THOSE PWT TOURNAMENT ANGLERS. WE TROLLED ALL THE WAY THROUGH "C" CAN ON MONDAY AND WERE STILL MARKING ACTIVE FISH 10'-12' DOWN IN DIRTY WATER.

GOOD FISHING ON THE POND!

Benny, Good catch! I wish I could have stayed for Mon. It was good fishing with you and Derrick, can't wait for the next "Team Galyan's" excursion.

Do you have my travel bag? Get my # from Blade 'cause I don't have yours. Hopefully "The General" passed the message on.

Benny,
We were in the same neighborhood on Sat and Sun with similar results.
I wish that Erie was closer. We were running 2 Ranger 690's one red and the other silver with Mercs. We probably passed each other in the fog on a trolling pass.
