They're here....

Never fished the Bar, and figured now would be the best time to give it a whirl.  We got out late friday night and we finally set up around 530.  Started at the red can and trolled west with our riggers down 40 and 60, with a core down the chute and a three color up high.  We marked a ton of bait with a few hooks and finally got a rod to fire and brought in a teen king.  About a half hour later we got our 50 rigger screaming and netted a 16 pounder, our biggest on our 12lb line (which was pretty fun).  Around 7, we lost a decent king right at the boat, but as soon as we lost it, our core starts taking off.  20 min later we net a 18 pounder.  All hits came on DW Salmon Slapper.  After a good night, we started to head in and motor quits.  Awesome.  We called a buddy to tow us in from 6 miles out.

 

We spent the next morning working on the boat to no avail.  We ended up going out on our buddies boat Saturday night.  Surprisingly, there weren't many people out.  We worked the same program with riggers down about 50' and full cores pulling the same spoon as they day before and were able to boat 4 more kings in the 8-15lb range.

 

Sunday morning, people must have gotten word that silvers were here cuz there was a city of boats out there.  Worked the same program we did the last few days and threw in 7 colors on the boards.  We couldn't get a rod to move 'til about 8, but from then on, Salmon slapper and UV Dolphin were CRUSHING on the cores and riggers.  We did 8 kings from 4-16lbs and a handful of mud chickens.  Silvers are back, now go get 'em.

 

PS Just because you have a 40' boat, doesn't mean you can go wherever you want, like trolling North/South while the fleet is going East/West....
