I-Bay 9/1/14 - Labor Day

[tlombardozzi]

Went out this morning with my buddy Eric on his Scout and my brother, both Eric and I are in the LOC but my brother had not signed up...that would prove to be a mistake! We set up in 150 FOW and trolled North. We would not take any hits until we reached 400 FOW. 400 to 500 FOW was the best action. We took some nice 12-14# kings and some nice steelhead. The fish of the day was a huge steelhead that weighed 16.49# on the digital scale but because my brother did not enter the LOC we could not enter! What a beautiful fish! Temperature down 88' over 400 FOW was 53 degrees. Every rod took shots and it was great action but everyone needed to be out early so we pulled lines at 9:30.

Set ups that worked:

Kevorkian DW - 68' rigger

NBK Stingray - 88' rigger

UV Crab face - 300 copper

UV Two Face FF - 240 Dipsey

Marv's Big Fatty FF - 390 Dipsey

We ended the day 8 for 9, 4 kings, 5 steelhead.

Good luck to all and Happy Labor Day!

Wow, what a steelie. I can only imagine the acrobatics. LOC money or not, it is still a fish that never gets forgotten.

[tlombardozzi]

Actually fought more like a king, never jumped once! Probably why I actually landed it, lol.

About the big steelhead that has never made it to the LOC due to a non-registered participant , I commend you for your integrity.

In all honesty, it has pained me whenever I had to choose fishing the loc derby over inviting the non participants. Our precious LOC derby would not be possible without honest folks like you.

Tight lines!

If they can't spend the measly $15/day pass, they don't get within a ten foot pole of my boat!

For 3 hours of fishing I'd say that's a great job. Nice fish!!

^{I agree with all above, thank you for your honesty.  I bet there are a fair share that would have taken the fish to the scales, with only the two registered guys and left the 3rd out of the equation.  as Chris said, I hope the fish gods reward you for your integrity!!!!}

 

^{Great Job}

Yes.....a very nice and fruitful short outing! Niiiiice!! I have found often those "let's see if we can squeeze in some fishing before we have something else we have to do" outings yield sometimes remarkable results....
