Ended the day 8/10 - all big kings- unbelievable fishing!!!! Ended day in 130' off olcott- 88' rigger and 165 dipsey- NBK and DW- thriller- everyone get out here while it lasts!!
I hear ya shakenbake- work had me running ragged the last 3 weeks- it was good to finally get back out again- even better to enjoy a morning like today with my father- the years are catching up to him but he was like a kid in a candy store when the bite went crazy on the temp break - great memories made!!
Jig stick- hopefully others that were out today chime in- there were many- if I don't find the temp break that I did it would have been a long morning. So on fire- I wouldn't say that but I am curious as to how others did- I would never tell anyone to make the trip from Pittsburgh- you just never know with this lake but I will say this- plenty more majors around than last year. Manage to get at least one major damn near every trip out this year
Set up in 150' off Wilson heading North-took a decent King in 180' on a blue/green stinger free slider set 66' down. Worked out to 400' with nothing to show. Spun around and headed towards microwave- found a decent temp break in 325'- 78'and 88' riggers took 5 kings in 5 passes, then we lost the break and could not find it again- spoon bite - NBK and warrior black/pearl took all. Managed one more King off Wilson in 290' while heading back in-NBK- 88 down to end the day at noon- all fished released to fight another day. It was just my dad and I and we had a blast-back at it in the AM. First time out in 3 weeks- so nice to have every fish screaming drag!!
Laurie B- thanks for the reports- work has got me on the road a ton and I haven't fished in 2 weeks- weekend marine forecast looking ugly -look forward to reading a Wilson report at the end of each day- Good fishing!
Found some steelhead out in 340' water to salvage the day- 3 color with a blue/gold thunderstick. Ended the day with 3 steelie 1 decent king and a skipper- lost a decent fish -took a bunch of shots on sliders in 195' but none stayed buttoned up. Will give it a shot in the morning for a bit. Walleye time is here for me also King Slammin- To all the veterans out there- God bless and thank you for your service -
