SUNDAY 7/13 AM - I-Bay (22.5 # King)

[momay4000]

Fished from 5:30 AM only until 7 AM. My buddy Jason took our best fish of the season - a 22.5# king -straight north out of the Bay. Set up in 125 fow, after we had lots of very nice marks but no bait. Fish hit around 6:30 AM, probe rigger down 85 feet over 145 fow, standard size 42nd spoon which my 4 year old daughter "taped up" the night before. We fished the spoon 20 feet back with a slower troll at 2.3 mph at the ball. It was a fun fish to catch, especially when it wrapped in the wire Dipsy, port rigger and we had to fight fleas on the leader.

FYI - by far, our hottest spoon this year has been the 42nd off the probe rigger. We tape it many different ways, but any combination which has glow ladder tape or transparent bubble seems to work the best.

See ya next week,
