SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Took the neighbor and went out for a 'coupla hours' in the small boat - started at about 90fow headed for 100 ( had done a coupla fish there on Tues) - nothing doing there other than some pretty solid waves so we moved in and towards the east ( we were seeing some boats that direction) once we got inside 80fow we found some good temp, bait and marks.

Firts hit was on Stingray gator out 210 on wire set at 2.5 - fish made one good run and came unbuttoned. Shortly after the Gator SD combo on the wire out 190 at a 2.5 went and after about 10 minutes we netted a nice 25#king. Reset and about 10 minutes later the Gator combo went again, as fish was making it 2nd run a stingray nuke killer at 72 on a rigger went - we landed both ends a nice 29ish king and a solid teenager ( which was released).

As we were landing the double a guy next to us laned an nice fish - he & I chattted over the gunwales and he said he had landed 3 in a row off a 42snd spoon set at 71 - so I set one . About 5 minutes later the 42snd went , fish made a good run and came unbuttoned. Resharpened hooks and reset and about 5 minutes later it went again - fish made a good run and came unbuttoned - so sharpened hooks again and reset - and you guessed it 5 minutes later it goes and fish comes unbuttoned ( thot about throwing spoon in without attaching it to a line )

As I was resetting the 42snd again the Green Nuke SD/Crinkle fly on other rigger went with a nice 24# king.

Reset the spread one last time but by then had trolled out of the good area - we agreed we should make 1 more pass (even though we were supposed to be home by this time) so we turned around and headed back thru the area - after a short distance the GatorSD combo on the wire fired and as the fish was making a good run the 42snd on the rigger fired- we got both ends of the double ( teenage king and 8# BT)

Since we both were planning to be home early and since it was already 11:30 we cleared and ran for the launch

While it had started as a slow day the last couple of hours were very interesting - the fish knocked all of the finish off the back half on the Gator SD ( its an interesting yellow color now but keeps taking fish) and about half the tape off the 42snd spoon - it turned out to be a great day!!!

They had some decent 'tan' - not nice and silver like a few weeks ago

Gotta love it when your tackle gets messed up due to being bitten not foul ups!
