Out of the Genny, 08-02-14

We honestly planned on the crack of dawn, but 10.30 am was the best we could do. We launched in the river so we would not have to deal with a very overcrowded launch in I-Bay. We started in 60 foot of water in front of Slaters Creek just where the thermocline hit the bottom.Lots and lots of bait but no takers so we went out deeper and a bit farther west until at about 120 feet all the different currents collided. Lots of bait and lots of hooks on the screen between 70 and 50 feet. This time we found out what is down there making the hooks. Nice big cohos! We caught a few at 50 feet down. Both were around 12 pound fish but after a while we went looking for the big kings, but did not find them. Trolling back over a series of old waypoints we hit the colliding currents again and over 126 foot both the dipsies fired within half a minute of each other. The one with the white spin doctor and white fly,324 foot out,  produced a 14 pound laker, while the other with a magnum glow frog and 283 foot out caught a 25 inch brown trout. The next hour we just mostly watched a veritable parade of bait schools between 70 and 40 foot with active hooks underneath. Our metal offerings were checked up on and declined which, with all the bait in the vicinity, made sense.

We packed up at 3.30 after a very nice father and son day on big O.
