Well my unfortunately dad was out of town on Fathers day when I had a trip planned for fishing on Lake Superior. Still took my father in law that day though. Anyway still wanted to go fishing with my dad so we planed a trip last Friday up north for some pan fish and trout action. Went to a couple lakes that have special regulations limit 5 sunfish only one over 8 inches limit 5 crappies any size and 5 trout a person.
First we hit the panfish lake got into a nice school of mixed gills and crappies got our limit of crappies but had a hard time getting the 8 and under sunfish I think we caught at least 100 over 10 inches biggest one went 11.25! Finally moved closer to shore and was able to pick through to get the smaller ones for our limit. A nice bonus bass and a couple of northern pike as well.
We then got off the lake and headed to the trout lake quickly got our 10 rainbow trout in less than an hour. Had a couple Brook trout to but they were much smaller so back they went.
The panfish will be for fish and chips
Trout I will smoke and do a thread about that later in the fish section
