Fair Haven 6/2

[Billy V]

We got out for a few hours yesterday before we got to work on putting the new Cannons on the boat. We set up out in 200FOW looking for Kings and started our troll out deeper hoping to find a temperature break. We trolled all the way out to 500FOW and didn't see much on the screen that was exciting us. So we picked up and ran back in to 250FOW. Once we got set back up we started to see some occasional nice hooks down 50-60' or so along with some smaller hooks up higher. We immediately hooked up with a steelie that came on a flatline pulling a J-9 Rapala GFR. After that we had a BIG rip on the wire rig set out 150', but I wasnt able to land the fish. It was nice to have a major on, even if we ended up losing it! That fish hit a Siggs Rigs Die Hard/Habanero flasher/fly combo. Its only a matter of a few more weeks and it'll be full-on King season in Fair Haven, and I can't wait!!!

After that we managed another smaller king on a Northern King Habanero spoon fished off a rigger down 25' and my wife landed a nice brown that came off of a 2 color core pulling a Dreamweaver Coyote Ugly spoon. My wife used to fish with me a lot more often, but since the kids came she hasn't been out with us all that much, so it was was nice to see her fighting a fish again. Now that the kids are getting a bit older and we can bring them out with us, I'm hoping she joins us more often.

I'll be traveling for business the next couple of weeks. Good luck to those of you who get out.

Good job Bill. I hope your old fishing partner keeps fishing and becomes your new fishing partner. Nice to see the wife along. Now, watch the language when a fish comes off.

Billy the Boat looks awesome with the new riggers on it sweet looking ride.I forgot,what type of cannons did you end up with?

[Billy V]

S*** happens, I still can't figure out how I lost a major on Friday. 5 minutes he was there, a second later he was gone. Rod (Power Pro dipsey) was bowed almost in half the whole time, no slack.
