Rigged up two rods today. Mono backing, 300 feet of 20 lb braid with 15 lb fluorocarbon leaders. Just need the jigs to show up. How long did you guys have to wait for your deliveries from Mission Tackle? Tournaments Friday through Sunday, hope they show up next week!
We didn’t have a ton of marks but there were some. We fished that depth to be out of the pack of boats fishing in 100 ish. Had my hands full crew wise and no autopilot. We didn’t have major current or speed issues and fleas and fly’s were non existent. Had meat and mags out, never ran faster than 2.4 at the ball.
Late short trip with my wife and daughter. Trolled 80-90 for browns with mag spoons. 60 degree water down 75. Lines in at 1 and pulled at 3. No browns but two for three on kings one pushing 24lbs.
As much aa I enjoy fishing with experienced anglers, taking kids out and getting them on quality fish is priceless. Conversely, slow days are a drag, but slow with kids on board is agonizing. Blessed today, lines in at 6:30 and out by 10:00.
Took a friend and his nine year old son fishing today. Until this morning the son had caught one small fish at camp.
150-220 feet of water. Riggers at 110 and 95, divers out 225 to 250. Meat was on fire, 20 bites in three hours. Father and son did well and had a ball. Had no idea fishing like we enjoy every day existed.
Older boy came into town mid day. Let lines in 80 foot at 12:30. Was hoping for browns and set up accordingly. 63 down 80 over 100 but had to run high three’s going west to get 2mph ish.
Did a Brown, small King and a couple Bows. Lost, dropped, three or four more. One of those days where you struggle to maintain down speed with only a few workable directions. Off the water at three, will revisit in the morning.
