| One of two for the day |

| Shu with a nice bass |
Thursday I enjoyed a special day of fishing with my sone Jake and good friend Shu. We got our minnows at our favorite bait store,
The Outdoor Store in Bloomfield. The bright sunny day illuminated starkly the depth breaks in the water. Green color was 5-10, brown was less than 3 feet, and the dark blue was the deep water. We fished the north end in Branchport and the lake trout hit the minnows right on the edge of the shallow bars, brown water, and the deep blue water. We caught them on ultra-light rods with 2 pound test so it made for exceptional fun pulling them in.

| Trout fillets in "secret" brine |
The trout had different color fillets, one fish had light orange color and the other pink. Reading around the internet it seems that fish that eat more crustaceans tend to be light orange and pink colored trout eat more minnows. I will have to do some more digging to confirm. I smoked the trout and made a great dip out of it for our weekend NCAA basketball trip to Ehrhardts,
in the Poconos.
