Out in front of Braddocks this morning 7/26/13 Friday

[Picker Pines]

Well, finally got back on the water again...Took my neighbor from down the street.  Put in at Braddocks marina and headed for 100 FOW....About 8 boats were trolling that 100 to 150 FOW...Marked lots of bait and some bottom hooks, but couldn't trigger anything so I decided to keep going north...Got out to 220 FOW and the screens were blank...No wonder we were the only boat way out there...Did notice a few tiny marks around 90 ft. down so I sent the dipsey with the Mountain Dew spinny and green/silver fly out to 290 setting.  Not five minutes later we finally get a fish on that set up...It's a small King, really small King, but at least the skunk is out of the boat....Reset and get out to 245FOW and that same set up starts screaming....I hand the rod to my friend Bruce and he has a nice battle on his hands...I cleared rods and then we slowly and methodically got this bad boy into the net....I'm guessing it was at least 30 pounds...What a really nice way to cap a sun filled morning on the Big O...I did manage to get my token skipper as we were pulling lines...My riggers never fired once...It's amazing what one big fish will do to erase all the time on the water when there are no hits....Good Luck to all this weekend....thanks to those fellas who sent me some fishing info to start my morning.....Hook'em Picker Pines
