Out of Mayers Marina 5-13

[rolmops]

I hit the lake around 4pm and trolled west to the Genny over 50 fow with plenty of bait at around 30 feet.

Half way to the barge at the dumping ground I hooked into a king using a 6'' storm shad on 5 lengths of leadline.It was maybe a 15 pounder. I felt like experimenting and took out my Cape Cod striper rig which is a 7 foot Penn Black Sabre rod with carboloid guides and a Penn senator 112 loaded with 600 feet 40# stainless single strand wire.I put on a 3 ounce bucktail jig (chartreuse) and going at about 2.5 knots with 300 feet out I started jigging as if fishing for stripers.It must have been about 40 foot down.It got me another king,this one a little bigger,but then everything died.

On the way back to the bay there was a lot of bait right on the surface with plenty of big fish along with them but no more takers.

All in all a nice afternoon
