SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Headed out Staurday to do some pre-fishing for Sunday's Pro-Am. Set-up in 120 and worked way out to 250 before turning around. hit the 140 range and starting marking bait and fish. Around 6:40am the 130 the port dipsey set at 211 rips and Dad grabs the rod. after a good fight we net a GREAT king that was bouncing my scale around the 30 lb range. now 7:15 am we decided to pack up and run in to weigh it. we hit the dock at 7:40 grabbed some fresh coffee and some extra ice. I re-weigh the fish at the dock and it is showing upper 29s almost 30. we throw the coller in the truck and head to Screwy Louies in town. we had to wait until 8:00 to weight it in and when I opened the cooler I almst cried. The fish had bled out on the ride there. I couldnt believe it but after it hit the scale it still came in a 28.14 despite all that. I just wish for Dad we could have made it there without that happening.

On Sunday we left the dock at 5am with High Hopes for a good Pro-Am showing. I started to setup in 100 FOW and found 76 degrees on top and 49 degrees down 45. I ran 2 riggers up high 40 and 50 with free sliders and spoons. 2 riggers at 60 and 65 pulling paddles and flies. 2 dipseys out 156 and 187, and a 300' cooper. We worked water from 100' to 300'. we didnt end up moving a rod until 10am when a steely hit the free slider jumped once crossed the dipsey wire and snapped the line. 0 for 1. Ten minutes later a King hit the other rigger parked at 50. after a short battle and one good jump it came unbuttoned. 0 for 2. 15 minutes later the 156 dispey rips for 30 seconds and gone. 0 for 3. we fished for another hour without a touch. Ended up without a single fish to weigh-in for the Pro-Am. Not the way I had planned it. But thats fishing
