Fair Haven with Buckboardjr 29Aug-5Sept

[buckboardjr]

Just fished Fair Haven for  8 days. It was a slow. Went 14 for 28 bites on the trip. Best day was 4 for 7 all 4 matures. Worst day was the last 0 for 3. Went 3 days without a spoon bite and decided to tie a 15lb leader on and then started getting spoon bites " Moonshine Black Ice 25 back in 52* water, on my chute rigger. Biggest fish was a 27lber. Most interesting catch was a 21lber that hit an old Salmon slammer spoon that I haven't tried in years and it was slider cheated 1/2 way down to 100ft.If it weren't for that fish I would have been biteless that day. The day I had a steady bite they were hitting my deep rigger at 120ft with a green dot SD 7ft. back with an Atomik 503 Green crinkle Glow on while my probe was at 85 in 49* water and spoon at 80. Only had 2 diver hits all week and one was last day when I dug out another old Salmon Slammer spoon! I also threw an old Pro King green spoon on a fixxed cheater the last day and we had a fatty of a steelhead on for 2 leaps then gone.

The last day of packing I saw that it was ripped to shreds. I looked for a nest but none found. Here's what I found when I got back from my trip and opened up the kicker to drain the carb. It ran flawless for 8 days straight. Got lucky there!Home sweet home!

Great report! Frigging mouses! That's amazing!...I've had everything else nest or stow away but not a mouse. Wasps, spiders, robbins, bats,..but no mouse. Must be George the outdoor cat has been doing his job. He sleeps in the boat sometimes and he's fat!

Beautiful fish and nice looking eats too!

WTG Bucky!   Holy crap...you should send that pic in to the motor manufacturer for an ad   great report and results (you sure didn't starve to death either from the looks of that great food. If you are anything like me it takes awhile to get your land legs back after all that time on the lake.

Les. You're right there. I'm still bouncing around with Sea legs!

Nice pics Bucky, glad to see the salmon slammer spoon has a few good fights left in it. If I recall correctly over the years you and Rabbit and "The Stanley Steamer " knew how to put on a mighty fine spread. Breakfast sure looked good. Nice talkin to you the other day.
