The Bar 8-7 /26lb King

[S * K]

Fished the bar 2nd time all year first time was a skunk. This time out wasn't too much better started in 2fters but calmed down mid morning. Screen was more than bleak out there first fish on was a 10lb laker 150ft of water 40 down. Temp was pretty cold 40 down 50 degrees. Than it was a steady pick of shakers until about and 8lb brown hit. We than took the first and only rip of ther morning #3 setting dipsey on the wire /spin doctor and hammer fly. Took 400ft out and than decided to do another 100. Fishing has been so bad for kings down here this year i haven't heard the scream since May. Don't get me wrong i can't complain about boating 20 steelys 8 to 10lbs a day but nothing beats a mature. We ended up landing him and he went 26lbs. The weeds more than made up for the lack of sea fleas which were also present. I love working the bar but they just have not been there this year. Blame it on the polar vortex... I am going back to the depts 400+ for more action.
