Yankee's Wilson Report 5/24-5/25

[Yankee Troller]

5/24 - Today's trip consisted of a father who had the intentions of getting each of his 3 sons a King Salmon, and that is what we did! Once we got out there the fishing wasn't on fire like previous outings. We soon hooked up and for the rest of the day it consisted of a steady pick of Salmon. Our biggest fish was somewhere around 14lbs. Our first fish of the day took a 3 color core with a Dreamweaver SS Orange Slurpee. It was a small steelhead that we put back to fight another day. This same rig would take a few small salmon along with a nice 12lb Salmon by the end of the day. Our wires were going off consistently out 200' with SmartFish paddles and a variety of A-TOM-MIK flies like the Ultra Glow Green and the Hammer fly. Our Sea Sick Waddlers took a few fish off the riggers as did Coyotes in an NK 28, and Dreamweaver's SS Salmon Slappers. At the end of the day the 10 color core fired with a NK 28 Wonderbread. Ended up boxing 8 nice Salmon and tossing back a few smaller fish. Not our best day this spring, but it was still eventful with a great group of people.

5/25 - Our charter for Sunday and Monday canceled, so we got in some Pro-Am practice. We were accompanied by some friends and left the dock around 6:30. Fishing started off slow but by the end of the day it was RED HOT with many teenage fish finding the deck of our boat. Today's bite was different from the day before in that more fish fell victim to SmartFish/A-TOM-MIK flies. The 450' copper took our biggest fish today at just under 20lbs. Ultra Green Glow, Big Fin, and Hammer flies were the flies of choice. Yesterdays shocking moment came when a 12lb Salmon took a 3 color core, and today's was a 6lb Brown trout that took a Dreamweaver SS Orange Slurpee down 50' over 100fow. This same set-up took a few Coho and small Salmon. Wires out 300' took some great Salmon towards the end of the day. On the riggers we had success with our Sea Sick Waddlers until Mr. Salmon took them from us. Our HOT spoon for two weeks straight and I am fresh out of them! Our other spoon that took some shots was a NK Dimple light Coyote. This would have been a great box of fish if it were tourney day!

Nice job Rick! I heard about your "pocket" of 42 degree water you found later in the day on Sunday that turned on.

[Yankee Troller]

Yeah, but that wont last with the way the water moves in that area. I hope thats all you heard! If not Im whoppin' Jax's arse!

[FISHINMAN]

Take it easy on the boy, after all you don't want him to spill your Pepsi when he gets it for you do ya :shock:

[Yankee Troller]

I can still break one of his arms and still get him to bring me snacks and drinks throughout the day.
