Sandy 5/28

[FISHINMAN]

Got out on the water way later than usual (9am) the Mrs and I need some sleep headed out to 140 and dropped lines. Nothin doing on the screen until the 200ft mark. Marked a nice bunch of fish at 220 and marked it. Got the wire to fly on a White Mnt Dew/Glow Crush with a Howie packer fly 210 feet out on 3 1/2. I had just put out a couple of new yellow :shock: (Ray K) R&R spoons and bam. Got into 2 coho 1 small king (a crazy dancer that covered every part of the water behind the boat) and 1 nice steelie in about hr going back and forth over my mark. Then I was heading in and had the wire fly big time and it backlashed on me :shock: :x. While trying to get the line to either go in or out (found out later that the wire had gotten caught in the edge of the spool and the housing :x ) I had the wire break at the spool and before I could get ahold of the wire it went zipping out of my hand . So if anybody gets a king with the above mentioned spin doc and fly combo along with 280ft of wire please return it to me . Had the rigger go again about 3 minutes later and another shaker this time on a Stinger mixed veggie. Ended up 5 for 6 (1 other release too). 70ft down seemed to be the ticket with 46 degree temp. Lake went from great chop to almost flat to a white cap wavy mess in what seemed like no time. New top came in handy on the way in as I would have been soaked . Half the rigger fish were on sliders.
