The Bar - 8/5

[tlox]

Haven't seen any reports from the Bar in a long time.  Headed out after work and got set up around 5:00PM.

 

For a nice summer evening, there were not any boats anywhere, no pleasure boats cruising the shore, no trailers at the Fort Niagara launch, basically had the lake to ourselves.

 

We Set up deep to start in 285 ft, which is about 6.5 miles out.  Blank screen.

 

We decided to troll into our usual waypoints that go from 215 - 95 ft.  As soon as we hit the 215 waypoint the wire dipsy goes off.  A 16 lb King put up a nice battle, stripped off 150 ft on the first run and 10 minutes later he was on the deck.  Mtn. Dew spin Dr. with a green hammer.  175 back on a mag dipsy w/ring.

 

From there it was all spoons on the riggers, NBK, Green Thunder, and a bunch of other spoons i forgot the name of but they were all green and black.

 

Every rigger fired and when at one point as we got one on the deck, two riggers fired and we had doubles.  We run two riggers with stackers up 12 ft.  Deepest rigger was 80 stacked to 68 and the other was 60 stacked to 48.

 

We dropped a real nice fish off the 80 rigger and dropped another nice one off the wire dipsy.

 

Picked up a 9 lb steelie, and a bunch of kings ranging from 6 - 15 lbs.

 

Pulled up around 8:30 PM and headed in.

 

All in all, we ended up 9-15, one steelie and the rest Kings.

 

The fleas are bad, but other than that it was a great night.  Only ended up snapping one picture of one of the fish.

Bad - normal for this time of year, but definitely fouling all the lines.  They are sticking to everything, including the wire and 30 lb mono on the riggers.

Hope you didn't pull your hamstring..... Fishing must be therapy for a softball injury! See ya Friday.
