SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Took a neighbor who had hever fished Lake O out with the small boat . Hopes were high based on yesterdays reports but alas things were very slow for us ( and many other boats based on the radio chatter)

Ran to 100 and set 2 riggers & 2 wires - made 3 passes in 100 - 120 , running asstd rigs but never moved a rod - marked some scattered bait & fish but....

Decided to head deeper and turned NW - at about 150 FOW A Stingray Gator set @ 73 fired - at first fish seemed lazy -thot maybe a laker - then the fish decided to show its chops and took about 150' ofline in a flash. Neighbor did a great job of handling fish ( with a broken collar bone) and a few minutes later I slid net under a nice king ( weighed 26-4 when I weighed it about 5 hrs later)- not bad for his first LO fish.

Worked the 150 water for a while, then worked on out to 200 and back in- marked very few fish and very little bait , at 110 FOW a DW 42nd spoon set at 88' popped witha 5-6# laker.

Off water about 13:00

Good job on landing a quality king for your neighbor.
