Nice fish! Cant wait til Monday and try to find one to match! [ Post made via Android ]

I hope that is your drag

I had good luck last night running riggers down 85-90 in 80 ft of water with sd back 40ft. I tried the sd closer and no luck [ Post made via Android ]

I wish I was going out in the morning. I did sneak out for a few hours tonight and went 5 for 10. Had one cut the leader on the fly and another straighten the hook out. 3 were over 20 and 2 that were 3-5lbers. Good luck!

What are you using for the browns? I would like to give it a shot next week and see what I can pick up.

you got it7 strand - running #1 dipsy's w/ about a six foot lead to the flasher and 18-22inches to the fly

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: 4pm Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: flat Surface Temp: 74 Location: Wilson LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 7 Total Boated: 5 Species Breakdown: 3kings 2 steelies Hot Lure: white e chip flasher w/ green a tom mik fly Trolling Speed: Down Speed: 2 - 2.75 Boat Depth: 70 - 120 Lure Depth: 45 -65 rigger 210 was hot on the wire ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== I decided to sneak out after work for a few hours by myself and give it a shot. Decided to drop the rigger w/ the probe first to get an idea on temp - dropped a black nk w/ white bottom. It was down 30 seconds and the rod started bouncing - ended up getting a small king. I dropped that back down and then let out the two wires. A friend gave me a quick tip and said try 70-90 fow. Right away had 2 swings and misses on the 210 wire so I kept a nice west troll and bounced from 70-90. Switched the spoon out on the rigger for a spin dr and green fly and picked up a small steelie. Then the wire w/ the white e chip and green fly wouldn't stop hitting. Ended up with 2 more kings 23 and 24lbs and another steelie about 7 pounds. I'm glad it was calm because trying to reel in decent king and keep him out of the other rods is quite the chore. It was a fun night and I'm glad I was able to get out. I'll try and add a couple pics later tonight. ____________________________________________________________ 8/23 I was able to sneak out after work again last night and we had a pretty good run. The night didn't start off very promising dropping the first 4 fish with one straightening out the hook of the fly. We fished close again 70 - 90 fow. white echip flasher and green fly was hot again on the wire w/ dipseys 210 - 250. Also had some good luck with the SD on the riggers down 80-90 ft w/ a 40 ft lead off the ball. I tried closer but no luck. We went 5-10 w/ 3 over 20lbs. I'm not going to be able to make it out again until Monday so save a couple slobs out there for me!!

Nice fish! Great idea on the clips [ Post made via Android ]

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: 6-12 sat 6-130sun Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 20+ Total Boated: 12 Species Breakdown: kings steelhead Hot Lure: green a-tom-mik fly Trolling Speed: Down Speed: 2 - 2.5 sat / sunday for some reason took the probe out of the boat Boat Depth: 250-350 Lure Depth: riggers 90-130 wire 300+ ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Had a good couple of days fishing. The wind definitely made it tough on Saturday. We didn't pick up our first fish until about 8am - small king. It was really tough finding the fish. Best water for us was around 310 feet - we were constantly marking and catching fish then. Lost a nice king right behind the boat on an NK ladder back. Seemed like we just started to figure it out and 12 oclock hit....Time to head in and get ready to go to a wedding for a good buddy. They would have to wait until Sunday. Headed back to the deep water Sunday morning. I put both riggers down 100 and 120 w/ a couple NK spoons and then moved on to dropping the wire back when the 100 rigger fires. We picked up a nice 8lb steelhead and tossed him back. Finally got everything set up - wire was back 300 and 325. All of a sudden the 300 wire starts screaming I grabbed the rod only to have fish pull off in seconds. So I get that one set back up and the 325 wire goes and we pick up a small king then pick up a 21lber on the 300 wire about 20 mins later. We ended up picking up a few more small kings and steelies but nothing big. Lost a couple that were ripping pretty good on the wires but the big hits kept dropping. We had a pretty solid weekend just couldn't get any big fish in the boat.

Amazing fish! Congrats! [ Post made via Android ]

Fished the first 3 hours solo which was a chore. Hooked up right away in 225ft of water w/ 200 ft of wire out - ended up losing that fish. About an hour later picked up about a 10lb steelhead on a blue fly back 300. At 430 my buddy made it to the dock and made a quick run in to grab him to finish off the evening and was hoping the wind would let up. I was wrong - it kept getting worse! We hit 100ft and dropped both wires out and pushed out to 200ft and decided to turn and head back in. On the way in we had the wire back 300, for some reason decided to drop it back another 30 ft. Just snugged up the drag and it started bouncing. Ended up picking up a small 15 pound king and decided to get the hell out of there. I can only hope the waves slow down tomorrow. Tough fishing but at least we didn't get skunked.

Great work! Send a few Mod Carmel dolphin lures my way!

Great fish! Can't wait to get out there tomorrow!
