SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

A beautiful night on the Big "O" with Big Mike and the Blind Squirrel. We started out in 350 or so and had blanks all the way to 430' when the wire dipsey fired, about 280 out with the spinnie and fly. After about 30 minutes, the squirrel man finally boated a nasty king in the mid 20's. He is a bit out of practice after a long hiatus. We took a few bows 8-10 lbs in the same area, before Ben landed the king ! One on a 6 color and one on a 10 color core. Stinger with dots. Two other flurries produced several more bows on sliders. Later the riggers seemed to light up and the cores and copper went quiet. Big Ben managed a long range release on a brownie and then bagged another king about 7 lbs. Slim spoons in purple/silver & blue/silver & NBK. NE and NW trolls seemed better. We only saw decent bait at 350 & 475, with many fish near the pods. All of the fish were clean and the bows were especially fat and nice. All were deep sixed to fight another day. We never got below 56 on the down temp until we crossed 500fow. The NW blow for 4 days really piled up the warm water in shore.
