I-Bay 7/20 Thompson Gunner

We got the lines in at around 5:30 again. Started in 150 fow and worked out to 380 fow. Picked up a small king on a Finger Lakes Tackle SSW 90 down over 340 fow. A while later it was a 5lb coho on an NK DWB 100 down over 240 fow. What action there was stopped so we moved into 130 to 160 fow and put down the cow bells. We did 4 lakers, the biggest going about 10 lbs, and called it a day. Seems like we should have stuck closer to the pack today. Everything was on riggers. We're off to the Sandy Creek Shootout next weekend to try and not come in last again.

Thanks for the report - it looked like everyone was in closer by mid to late morning as the deep boats came back and the very shallow boats went deeper to that 110-150 fow area east and west, and it looked like everyone we passed that was landing fish was running cowbells at a snail's pace troll. Sorry to hear that the offshore bite was slower. It was extremely slow for us early on as well, until the bite turned on around 9 AM.

 

Good luck at the shootout - thanks for sharing,

Oh yeah, I just re-read your post. I read it last night also. Nice fishing out there. You guys seem to consistently do well.

Jack, can you post the pix from Sunday or send them to my email.  Also, do you have a bucket on board your boat?

Yeah, I got bucket.                                  Would you like the picture of your fish expander? That's a nice 24 pounder your holding there.
