Fishing out of the Oak, 5/5 thru 5/9

[LOMA 2]

Fished out of Oak Orchard each morning for the week just pased.  All in all, a terrific week of fishing and a good shakedown

for our new ride "LOMA 2".

Fishing was all inside of 20 ft. and mostly in 12 ft. or less.  Brown trout were most cooperative with over 120 landed. Average

weight was 3 to 5 lbs., but, we did catch several in the 8 to 10 lb. class.  We also managed a couple of decent kings, many 3/5

lb. coho, rainbows up to 7 lbs., and a couple of 10 lb+ lakers.

Our program was very basic with 3 lines on each planer board and 2 riggers set at 4 ft.  Setbacks on the boards were 125, 100, and 75 ft., the riggers were set about 60 ft. behind the balls.  Jr. thundersticks in green, firetiger, and silver and black were the ticket for us off the boards.  Riggers were set with superslims; bud-lite, nbk, glow-frog, and mixed veggies.  Every-

thing was picked on at one time or the other.

Although we did not fish deeper water we did see several boats trying their luck a little further out.

Water temps and color were perfect for fishing in tight.  Good Luck to All. Get out and give it a shot.
