6/5 AM: Guided Denis and his brother Jim for a 1/2-day trip getting underway at 7 am. I was hoping that our earlier start would help us boat more fish as well as avoid the predicted heat. We certainly kept cool on the lake. We had a couple short hits early, but our best fishing came about 2 hours into the trip. The guys managed 7 nice lake trout including two 10lbers! Some of the fish we've had onboard over the past week have been in absolutely superb condition - fat, healthy and strong! Yum Money Minnows did the trick for us today. Fish remain deep, shallow and in-between. Today the deep ones came through. Bait fish were also moving in. Expect a nearshore movement on bait soon! Midges are pretty much done. Guys are still hammering perch basically from Long Point/Dean's all the way to Ithaca. Surface temps climbed up near 60 today by day's end, but most of the water is still in the mid-to-upper 50s.
Looks like possible storms tomorrow. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday remain open for trips this week.
