SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

Made a trip to the Oak to see what we could find out deep.

Set up in ~400ft and made a troll north.

First to go was the rigger Carbon 14 down about 80. small king, then bigger King on 42nd spoon. A good bite continued as we had 2 or 3 doubles with almost a triple.

Although RJ's side of the boat was going off routinely, the bite slowed when we got under the long cloud that was trying to put down a water spout that we heard about on the radio.

Once the cloud burnt off/moved and the sun shown again the fishing picked back up.

After the slow period we had a major hit on the dipsy. A 27lber hit Jack's Blue spinny with his home made fly. We landed my best salmon of the year after about 3 long runs and a some nice splashing around quite a ways back.

Good choice Jack. That set up took several more hits.

I got to pay Jack back a little when he landed a nice steelie to end the day as the waves were picking up on one of my blue spoons on the 400 copper.

All in all a great trip to the Oak with good friends.

Thanks again Jack.

PICS Hopefully to follow.
