SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

My sister has never been on Lake O, so decided Saturday evening would be a good start. The rain stopped, wind died down, and the water flattened out, so time to go. Got on the water around 5pm and headed in front of the red barn in about 210 fow. As we are putting down the secod rigger, up goes the pole, thinking it was a false release, we grab the pole and it starts rippin a little line, so give it to her for her first lake O fish. Few minutes later, in comes a 8lb brown. From then on steady action with skipper kings, and handfull of coho. Around 7:30, we workd out to about 250 fow, saw some marks around 100, so drop some meat down there, 5 min later bring in mid teens king. So, right back down there with the meat and hope for another. Around 815, I'm swapping lures on port rigger when I see the deep digger get SLAMMED. Grab the rod give it to the sis, and 15 min later, i grab the net, and he wanted no part of it. It darts to the side of the boat, and I look over, and I know I'll kill myself if I let her first (big) king get away. A second later, what does it do...goes under the boat and out the other side. I run over there and see it's about 3ft down. Now or never. Splash the net into the water, speed up pehind it and finally scoop it up and in the boat. She was pretty excited her first king weighed in just over 22lbs.

the next day, Dad and I started working 240 fow and got nothing the first 45 min. and were sligtly annoyed with that. Bring up a rigger...tangled. ****. untangle and reset, 15min later, fish on. From there, it was slow, so started heading north in hope for steelies and 'hos. Hit about 280ft, and wire starts screamin'!!! 15 minutes later, boat 23lb king (sorry 'lil sis). The next hour, nothing. Hit about 350fow and for ****s and gigs, put out a bright pink spoon which we never used, and a few min later 8lb coho in the boat. (might have to start using this more often). Even though it was a slow day, can't complain about a glass lake, 80* sunny weather, and good eatin cohos.

beautiful King and funny the netting stories we all wind up having at some point in our experiences!! At least the net was in the boat....but that is a story for another day! :)
