I-Bay Memorial Day Blitz

[Sea-IV]

Well what a afternoon outing we had today. Left dock at noon and setup by 1230. First ripper by 1245, it stripped 200' in the rod holder then another 200' in my hand. After a good 20 minutes of tug of war managed to net our first 20+king of the season of a green dot skinny with a sweet pea fly. Get that released and turn around and the rigger fires off with another mature king. 5 minutes later another mature on the wire. It slowed a bit after the arm burners but managed 11 for 16 with 2 breaking off on the initial run. All east from Shippy's to the Point in 80-90 Dow. Wire out 105-125 on 2 setting. 5 color took 2 shots but nobody home. When the sun was out the flasher/fly combo was firing and when the clouds moved in the spoons took over and by 6 the wind died and bite shut off so we packed up our sore arms and headed in with ear to ear smiles. Best trip out this year for kings, our biggest was just shy of 23# and smallest was 14# and change

We couldn't go fast enough for them. I had to keep it between 3.3-3.8 mph to keep the bites coming. Also that is speed at the ball. It was definetly a banner day to say the least

Funny....I fished similar waters and the fish wanted it slow.... When we slowed the boat to fight a fish, another rod went. Most hits also came on the in-side of the turns. Great report by the way....

Believe I even went as far as changing the batteries in the sensor cause I thought something was up. When I slowed down the bites stopped, brought speed back up and not even 5 minutes and off we went. I have never trolled that fast at the ball before so it was different. Might be what made the day for us cause a few guys were leaving cause they said bite shut down. I don't know what it was exactly but no complaints from us for sure
