Got on the water early (5 am) putting in at Godfrey Point, already over a dozen trailers in the lot. Trolled the 16/35' breakline east, pulling Kaboom and Renoskys in blk/silver-caught 3 by 8am and then the bite died. Trolled through the pack of boats jigging on the N/E side of the lake, didn't get another bite til midafternoon when I started marking fish on the bottom in 40 fow-dropped the suspended plan and put a 4 oz snap wgt on the Renosky line and changed the Kaboom from a deep diver to shallow runner in purple prism, along with a 5oz snap weight-dropping them both to the bottom alongside the boat, and trolled up 5 more eyes and 1-12" perch. The largest was 22" and the smallest was 17". Monday I got a little later start(6am) and pulled 1-22" eye at the breakline and caught my second at 12:30 running the bottom with 1 line and suspended with the other. As I was bringing in the fish-a pleasure boater ran over my planer board (about 80' from the boat)rapped the fireline around his prop-spooled me and snapped my planer board rod 2' down from the tip! That ended my day on a high note-headed in and left for home (4 hour trip).
