Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/31 Time on Water: 6:30 pm to 8:30pm Weather/Temp:72, little humid Wind Speed/Direction: East Waves: 2 ft Surface Temp: 73 Location: glass house back west LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 5 Total Boated: 3 Species Breakdown: kings Hot Lure: green and white moonshine spoon and siggs crinkle mirage fly Trolling Speed: 2.1 sog Down Speed: Boat Depth: 90 to 105 Lure Depth: 78 and up to 50 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Nothing big this evening but had steady hits trolling back west towards port. Two skippers and a 8 lb king. Very nice evening out on the water and a nice fat burger at the BNI afterwards. The screen on the Raymarine was loaded with hooks in the waters just in front of port 60 to 80 fow. Stacked in the lower 25% of the water column. If they don't feed themselves on the myriads of bait in there tonite, we should have a very active morning. I will be out there, but a little late ....due to a missing downrigger ball tonite. It was there when it came up and then I turned my back and it was gone. Narby's will be seeing me first thing they open and then I will be installing it before I get to sample what I think will be a good screen in the morning. Good luck friends! ==================== [ Post made via Android ]

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/29 & 8/30 Time on Water: Mon 2pm to 6:30 pm/ Tue 6:30 am to 2:00pm Weather/Temp:Mon hot and bright NO WIND...Tue very nice day Wind Speed/Direction:Mon dead calm..Tue west at 10 to 15 Waves: Mon flat ...Tue 2 to 4 ft Surface Temp: Location:32 line on Mon....front of port Tue LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: Mon 8 ...Tue 11 Total Boated: 7 & 7 Species Breakdown: Steelhead and kings Hot Lure: everything took hits Trolling Speed: Down Speed: Boat Depth: Mon 560..Tue 75 to 100 Lure Depth: Mon 40 to 110...Tue 40 to 60 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Mick and I teamed up on Monday for a little afternoon derby fishing and went on the inside water for a while but were all shakers that wanted out offerings. we ran a combination of spoons and flies off the riggers and dipsy divers and one copper pulling some familiar bite. couldn't get anything but the babies in that skinny water so we ran north to the 32 line. Set up for steelhead and managed some fast action with doubled fish and some real acrobat fish doing a lot of jumping. Once we found a bait ball there were pods of catchable fish right there. Got some nice 8 to 11 pound fish but not good enough for the board or fish of the day. image uploader Box of nice steelhead hosting images Resting at the dock at the end of the day Tuesday I had friend Ron onboard and fished the inside waters less than 100 feet and had a great day with kings. Before all the rods could get in the water we had a screamer on the first rod pulling a diver on 2.5 setting out 150 nuke green spinny and crinkle mirage fly. Got that one a 25 lber in and figured this to be a message of good things to come but then we dropped 4 fish and then a skippy came in and for the rest of the morning it became slowww. Figured to stay in that 80 to90 foot water and go back east with the waves and try the other side of port. Well that was a slow hour but when we got to around the flats we ran a double screamer circus. First the 200 copper goes absolutley flying of the back of the boat..I mean the drag clicker was zzzzzzinging. Grabbed it and Hung on watching the line fly off the reel and then stop ....slack...I reel as fast as I can and catch up to the fish flying to the boat . I picked up probably 150 feet of line and some of the copper on the reel and then the rod bends over and peeled back more line same thing happened for at least three times before a steady progress to the boat finally came. Thinking this to be a real stout king it finnaly is in the net and only weighed 19 pounds. Very strong fish for its size . It's stil in the net and the diver goes and Ron grabs it and has a screamer on as well and after some tense moments with it going crazy at the back of the boat. It snagged the diver on the two rigger rods on the other side of the boat but we managed to shake off the snagged lures and bring in the fish. We ended the afternoon on that note and boxed 63 lbs in three kings and one eatable 4 lb steely for Ron to have at camp. hosting images Ron with his 25 lb king png upload One of the 19 pounder from the afternoon adult image hosting Catch of the day ==================== [ Post made via Android ]

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 8/27 Time on Water: 7:00 TO 16:00 Weather/Temp: WARM CALM Wind Speed/Direction:SLIGHT NE IN THE PM Waves: FLAT..SLIGHT WAVES PM Surface Temp: 74 ISH Location: JOHNSONS AND NORTH TO 31 LINE LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 7 Total Boated: 5 Species Breakdown: KINGS STEELHEAD Hot Lure: GREEN GATOR NK MAG..NUKE GREEN SPINNY AND CRINKLE MIRAGE ATOMIK Trolling Speed: 2.3 TO 2.7 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 150 TO 560 Lure Depth: 75 MOST...110 RIGGER FOR ONE STEELHEAD ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Started in front of johnsons 150 fow ran simple six rod spread two riggers stacked with down outs and a couple wire divers. Riggers set 75 and 80 and divers out 210 and 240. The downouts were stacked 30 feet above the ball and 90 feet out on a 3 setting with the small adjustable dipsey. Those were pulling spoon and some familiar bite in Davis rigs. Herring did nothing and the hot lure was the green gator NK mag. Next was the crinkle mirage fly behind the nuke green spinny. We had some hit and misses but boated 5 fish with the biggest being a 10 lb steely. Two kings that were 9 lbs and a jack that was a bleeder so it went in the box for the grill. Had a major mess of wadded line and wire when the one 6 lb steely went ballistic behind the boat collecting two divers and wound it up bad. The iceing came when the other side of the boat collected the 10 lb steely while trying to untangle the mess. But that is the excitement that we live for on the lake. Slow pickins but still a nice day on the lake. Mark ==================== [ Post made via Android ]

Great job getting the kids involved with the reeling process. Good to chat with you today and get some lowdown on the water out there at the Oak. We came in at about 4 pm with a box of four. Saw the new leading steelhead at Narby's this afternoon getting weighed. Weighed our little steely just to find out how far off my scale was. Not quite the bottom of the list...oh well got the rest of the week to try for the winners. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Ohhhhhh ....I didn't know they were using downriggers mounted to their poles :razz: [ Post made via Android ]

Yes and use some speed forgiving presentations like flasher fly, optimizer spoons, doctor spoons are my favorite for speed/wave surges. [ Post made via Android ]

The forcast is changing every few hours, and right now it is getting better. Yesterday called for 6 to 8 foot and ne winds to 30 knots. Just checked at 6 am this morn Friday, and now it is 3 to 6 and 25 knot out of the ne for Sunday. It's likely the wind direction would not change due to the counter clockwise rotation of The storm and its relative forcast track thru the southeast corner of the state but the wind should switch back west as it departs up the coast.

Awesome fish men! But 90 lb. Wire and 4# weights? Whoa! That's gotta be tough reeling in. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

I'll be home tomorrow. Getting boat ready then might make Friday afternoon. Then Saturday but Sunday and Monday looks like a blow off due to the stupid hurricane. Northeast winds to 30 knots Sunday...not good..probably push cold water onshore and flip Hail skipper (Mark) channel 10 ..good luck! Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Walmart is ruining America. Don't shop there either......end of story. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Better stick to the wifey, and be happy with the yarn shops...let's see...hmmm...knit one pearl two...pearl..PEARLS..HEY get the permit and find oyster beds and get rich! [ Post made via Android ]

Sprint here too. Full data plan. Roaming is never charged on my plan and I have had no issues out to the 30 lines 10 to 12 miles out from port at the Oak. However at the Niagara bar, it tries to go Canadian on me, but will not allow a hookup. If you keep Sprint, I recomend the HTC EVO 4 G smartphones. Really nice and very fast powerful processer. 8 mp camera and a second camera on the front for self portraits and video chat. 4G is not a big deal, and it is only in limited markets, so you could do ok with the standard 3G and maybe save some bucks on the phone. The new sprint smartphones roam on other carriers with no issues very seamlessly. Unlimited data up or down. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

QUIK...!!!...FIND RAY A BOAT....my eyes hurt just thinkin about the knitted thong. Of coarse the parade will probably give him first prize [ Post made via Android ]

I know the feeling Shawn about the boat not hitting the water in a month. I will be doing some LOC fishing when I get off the road this coming week. Work work work...no play...makes Skipper a dull boy. ... Maybe see ya down there! Hope the fish get bigger for ya Mark [ Post made via Android ]

I second that. So now that it has become legal to run 3 rods,we will see how much more fishing gear will be sold to fishermen who try to run solo with 3 rods and loose a lot of gear because of bird's nests and other small disasters because they have to do too many things all at once. Oh well, now I can at least legally make a mess while trying to do too many things at once. Solo fishing three rods, no auto pilot, AND USING A SMARTPHONE to post up to the minute reports....all while combat fishing at the mouth of the tribs on a Saturday. should be a major fubar

I always like to look at the surface of the water and see what it looks like. If the water is not too rough I like to see the texture of the surface change. A slick where there is ripples ...a current line that gathers floatsum like feathers sticks and stuff like algae. Those are the places you will find the biggest temp break on the surface. But if the lake is rough it will be of no use to use visual tactics and for the most part the surface will be mixed anyway. Sometimes your sounder is a good indicator of surface to lower depth vertical temp breaks. Those I call veils because of the appearance of a veil or curtain on the screen. Those are really good to find and work around because they tend to gather bait and bugs due to the rip on the surface, which are usually good for steelhead offshore. Salmon have been in those veils in my experience and often hang to the deep side of the veil in their usual comfort zone of temp. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Angle of attack.maybe?..from behind vs from the side...mostly attitude of the fish if really trying to feed or just injure and play with it then eat and in the process get hooked lightly while playing. Seems reasonable since it is a common experience between different fishermen who know what they are doing....I would say It's gotta be the fishes attitude...hmmm Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Nightmare! Yeah....solo trolling with a tripple king spree...oh boy. [ Post made via Android ]

That's a start! Good to throw skunks out, now go get some bigguns [ Post made via Android ]

Guessing the spread to be between 33 and 41 when all said and done for 20 places on a king. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Whoa!.....that was a fast trip around the sun dude. Seems just a few weeks ago I was reminiscence of salmon fishing songs by the Rolling Stones ....hey, I hope yer day was special, and ya spent it friends and family at the Lyntucky hot tub club...(yer patio lagoon)... Crack a cold one for me! And make believe I'm there. I guess I gotta keep trolling the hyway for now. Found more work this weekend. Gotta haul new Victoria Secret lure catalogs out to P TOWN so Ray can attract a few new friends out there at the carnival parade. If he didn't need that stuff, I couldda been fishin this weekend oh well ...I'll be there the next week...and then fish onnnnn! Happy birthday Mick Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Have always used the old birch handle Rapala fish and fillet. Not expensive and a flexible stainless steel blade. Wish they would come out with an 11 inch for the fatties. The 9 inch is good and it keeps an exceptional edge reasonably well. Not as long as a high carbon blade, but a few licks on the ceramic rod in between each fish and it will skin a grape. Good for taking a slab and finesse enough to carve the strip of pin bones out of the back of the fillet all in one knife. Would like to try that 11 inch salmon slicer though. Oh ....and I don't let my fillet knife become a kitchen utensil. That's the worst thing to happen to a fillet knife. Mark [ Post made via Android ]
