I-Bay 9/6 Thompson Gunner

[jlogger]

After some time off the water and some less than stellar days on, we got back to it Saturday. Started out of the chute a little late, 6:30, in 35fow with a stairway to heaven J-plug on one rigger and a 69 series evil eye, chartreuse and green, on the other. Around 45 fow the evil eye took a small king. 7 or 8 lbs. We worked out to 75 fow eventually adding two dipsys and a lead core off the board. For the rest of the day it was a f/f and NK C5 bite. The f/f combo at 55 down over 75fow was taking fish. The Fire Tiger NK C5 on a dipsy setting 3 200' back did pretty well too. Nothing else moved. We ended up 6 for 8 with 3 more kings between 17 and 20lbs on the scale, 1 small brown and a med steelie. The two lost were both respectable kings. As I was fighting one, Larry says he feels a double coming. Sure enough the dipsy fires and that king runs the wire right through everything and cuts the line my king was on. 5 minutes later we dropped the second one and all we had to show for it was a small mess and big smiles. Somewhere a king is dragging a NBK spiny with an Ito KJ Special. Started packing it in around 11am. Still waiting on the pictures.......Larry?

 

Hoping the fishing holds for a couple more weeks.

Thanks for the report, we didn't get out because weather was sketchy on thunderstorms, now wish we did! Great job, thanks for posting.

awesome....accept for the lost tackle.  I always wonder how many fish make it to the river with set-ups still trailing behind them???
