Then, a distinct buzz is heard coming from the direction of Gilford. It's a 49' Fountain with three engines accelerating the fast boat along from 70-80mph.....and its' got that buzz-buzz-buzz going along and getting louder until there it is, almost on top of me. A big fiberglass hull complete with graphics. And then, it's buzz - chop - buzz - chop - buzz....pfffft...the air goes out of my size 52's.

Attracted by the shredded mess, two happy salmon come up to the surface to feed.

(Too bad FLL. Survivin' just the cold water is no guarantee on the big lake.)

I'm afraid there is more than one type of trolling going on here......
