Yankee's 5/9-5/11 Derby Weekend #2

[Yankee Troller]

5/11 - First "trip" of the year! Set our lines around 6am and the small King Salmon and Coho's were jumping in the boat. Dreamweaver SS orange Slurpee took a few on the 2 color. Small red dodger with a blue ATOMIK Coho fly took a couple off the 3 color. The 10 color took two 10lb King Salmon with a Stinger Mag Penguin. A light green Spin Doctor/Ultra Glow Green ATOMIK fly took one off the wire diver. Then a bunch of spoons did the job on the downriggers. Back/White/Green glow tape took a Salmon 150 over 150. Super glow/green 28 took a few in the top 50. Lost a nice salmon on a Mountain Dew Spin Doctor with an ATOMIK Hammer fly. Silver Streak Screwball mag took a few, and a Mulatto 28 fired twice. Action was steady until the front came through and the wind picked up. Screen went from fish streaking to blank in a matter of 30 minutes. We tried to find them again, but just went to a pick after that.

5/10 - Got out nice and early with anticipation of running right to the bar and fishing the structure for a quick morning bite. Well, things changed when we found warm water in front of Wilson. We dropped out lines and began fishing. We took a small Coho almost immediately and then proceeded to watch fish fly all over our graph with no takers. Bait was loaded in less than 150fow and so were the fish. We dropped on on the 10 color with a white Spin Doctor/ATOMIK Hammer fly. We fished till 2pm without a bite and then we found the active school. First fish took a light green Spin Doctor/Ultra Glow Green ATOMIK fly. This was our second fish on the LOC Leader board. The next fish took a Mountain Dew Spin Doctor with an ATOMIK Hammer fly. Then it went to a spoon bite. Copper NBK's, Laser Spooks, Coyote, Wonder bread, and Penguins all took fish. Finished the day with about a dozen fish.

5/9 - Dropped our lines around 6:30am and fished for 2 hours until we were blown off by the strong NE winds. We did 5 fish with two of them being around the 18lb mark. 2 fish took a Silver Streak Screwball mag, one took a super glow green 28, one on a laser spook 28, and the last took an ATOMIK fly behind a Spin Doctor. We got back out around 3pm and fished till 8pm with only one whack on the wire with a coyote 28. Tough day after the blow.
