Fishing remains incredible. Lines getting hit as soon as you put them down. Riggers at 50 and 65' down . divers out 150' and 180'. Had a moment to get a 250 copper out and it immediately got smoked. Pulled the tx44 under and snapped the braid backing. Kids spotted the board so we swung around and grabbed the board with the fish still attached. I hand lined it in and got all the gear back. We didn't stay out long with the chop building. 160 fow was loaded with bait and fish and we had it mostly to ourselves.
Oh yes. They had a blast. How do you like your boat? I will be in the market for a big aluminum soon and I'm trying to narrow down my list of boats I like
Stupid bite out of sandy this morning. Kids had the day off so we went fishing. Lines in at 5:30 and the action never stopped. I was exhausted by 6:30.100 to 160 fow is covered with fish. Had 44 degrees down 60. Never got a full spread in the water. We had over 50 bites and put about 40 in the boat including 10 kings over 20 pounds, 8 Lakers and our first steelhead of the year to finish the day.
I took my kids out of sandy this morning. The bite was fast and furious till about 9:00 in 150 to 200 fow. Then it was a grind till about 11:00 when we got back into them east of sandy in 180 fow. Northeast troll was best for us all day.
I bought a couple of the new saltists to try out this year. Only used them 4 or 5 times so far but they have been awesome. I will report back at the end of the season
Sorry to hear about your trouble Brian. It was a horrible day for us too. Lost fish and then our own boat trouble. I am already looking forward to next year.
