Got the skunk off the new Outback....

Took the Outback to Hagg Lake today to fish for trout.  After several hours of trying to catch some of the lunkers in deeper water, I took the lake troll off of the downrigger ball and set a green wedding ring spinner back about 40 feet and 10 down.  In the next hour I caught and released eight planters between 10 and 12 inches all in 35-40ft of water.  The last 12 inch fish I kept because my wife actually likes to eat trout, ugh.  The main thing is everything works and seems to be in just the right place.  I love the Scotty gear head extender and the 385ci works very well installed on the sail mount.  Now all I have to do is practice some surf launches/landings and pour some split tail grubs.

Nice job! You might want to graduate up to the Willamette or Columbia before hitting the Salt. George Rogers is a great spot to fish for Springers, Sturgeon, or bass.

Congrats on your first fish.

Boo yah!!

Nice detailed report, Burner. I have the same fish finder and I love it. Great buy. Hope to see you on the water in the near future, Burner.

If there are no pictures, then it really didn't happen

Congrats on the first fishes!

The next thing to buy is a GoPro......the smart phone seems to just leap out of your hands whenever it's near water.
