Thanks to the organizers for running a fun organized event. It was my 1st time and I plan on doing it again next year! Rick

I decided to try and fish the SCS for the 1st time ever. We launched from the Genny since 2 guys were from Webster. Team was made up of buddies I hunt with. One guy fishes once a year. I wanted to go out to 400+ but the lake was rough so we started at 150. We ran 2 riggers stacked. 2 dipseys and a 300 copper. I have never ran copper on my boat or meat. That will change for sure after yesterday. Within 15 minutes we had a fish on the copper that had meat on it. Landed that fish that was around 17lbs. We thought this is going to be a good day. Things were slow after that but we would have a few every so often with 2 doubles. We kept a bow since it was bigger than the skippy kings we were catching. We got out to 410 and dipsey pulling meat goes for a ride. Landed that fish that was around 19. We just needed another decent fish for our 4 fish box. Well that never happened. Maybe we should have kept a smaller king for the 4th fish but I figured we would get something bigger. We went 7-7 and we also didn't loose a single fish. 5 fish were on meat, 1 on spoon and 1 flasher fly. Guess I will start fishing meat. We decided to make the drive to weigh station to see how we did against the “Big Boys” and since it was our 1st time just to see what it was about. Was nice to pull in the parking lot and see a nice crowd. Got to see some familiar faces that I see on social media. No idea where we placed with 3 fish and where the 4th smaller fish would have put us but I know not in the money. In the top 20 out of 43 team would be cool for us rookies. Congratulations to all the teams who placed and thanks to the organizers for running what I thought was an very organized fun event. My one buddy who fishes once a year said he wants to do it again! Great time with good friends and fish is a bonus. 1 team member couldn’t make the weigh in and no one wants to see me in any more pics.

Found a hat floating out in 450 off Ibay / Genny. Would love to get it back to owner. My dad is Vietnam Vet also. Rick

Nice job Bill. I will be out tomorrow on a buddies boat

Took a buddy looking for a derby fish. Launched at 1 and dropped him back off at the dock by 5:30. Picked up my wife, cousin and his daughter to try and get her 1st king. 1pm-5pm we fished 150-315. Went 6-9. Had 1st fish before all rods were set. All rainbows and 1 king. Best water was around 220. Only 1 dipsey hit and that was a small king when we were pulling lines to head in. Spoons and flasher fly on riggers took all the rainbows. Best lures were same as Tuesday. Mag NK and stinger paddle/attomik fly. Nothing big enough for a picture. Did lose a nice rainbow behind the boat. 6pm-8pm we fished 80-150. Best screens were around 120. At 7:20 told cousin to reel in the dipsey so we could clear the fleas. Few seconds later the rigger with stinger/fly fires and I hand cousins daughter the rod. Few seconds later the other rigger with mag NK fires. Wife has to come from the bow to hold the dipsey rod while cousin takes the rigger rod. Father and daughter are doubled up. He got his small king in pretty quick. She did good but we had to stop every so often to clean fleas off. Fish stayed buttoned up and we landed it. She got a quick pic and it swam away. Pulled lines at 8 and headed in. She told us before we started that if she caught a king she would get a fish tattoo and my name. We will have to see! Good luck out there! Rick

Was it caught on a Gary D Rig? Asking for a friend.

Nice, mine is a 2020. Hope you are liking it. I love mine. rick

Shawn J, is the boat a fishmaster? If so what year? Rick

Nice job, I am glad you had fun!

We stayed pretty much in front of the Genny, if anything little east when making my turns. Good luck!

Whaler was working so I took a buddy from Fire Dept. We fished 6am till Noon. Took a quick look inside for browns but couldn’t find right temp. We ran 2 dipseys, and 2 riggers stacked. We were 7 for 11. 5 kings, 1 steely and 1 brown. Brown was 55 down over 270 which was a shocker to me. We lost 2 big fish and one I think was a steelhead based on the aerobatic show it put on. Best water was 240-270 down 55-70. SD/fly on dipsey took multiple fish. Stinger E-chip/fly took 1 and lost another. NK mag took the smallest, largest and most fish. My buddy reeled in all the big ones at 16, 18, and 19 pounds. One lamprey that went back cut up. Get back to the dock and the Sheriff boat was there. Talking with the guys and find out one of them works with my oldest son part time and his son plays lacrosse with my youngest. Small world. Rick

Those are some sexy fisherman! Sucks no lakers!

Great job Bill, sorry it wasn’t a laker

What color fishmaster? I love mine! Rick

See what happens when I am not with you. I am bad luck.

Nice, I was texting him and he made a better choice than me. I took some fire dept guys out of the Genny and we only managed 1 laker. Rick

The USCG grabbed him. He was trolling and was taking on water which he didn’t know. Then a wave over on side and another on over the other side.

Great Video

Thanks Bill for a fun week of fishing. Can’t wait to fish with you again! Rick
