Yankee's 8/17 Oak report

[Yankee Troller]

We got out early with hopes of getting a good inside bite. We knew with a light crew we weren't running 8 miles out again given the conditions. The picture was spotty until we got down east a tad ,and there we found bait with fish mixed in as well. We worked 120-140fow most of the morning. Sea sick Waddlers were our #1 lure today on our 100 rigger, which happens to be the set-up that took a 30.03 Salmon for us today. He hit the NK Mag Waddler 5' above the 28. Other rigs today were the 42nd combo on a wire dipsey, White/Purple Spinny pulling a purple mirage A-TOM-MIK fly, #3 Green glow j-plug on the 300 copper, and a hammertime spinny pulling a glow pro am A-TOM-MIK fly on the 600 copper. We didnt do numbers today, but a big 'ol fish makes up for half the bites ya been getting. Thats our first fish on the Fall LOC leaderboard. Two weekends left to go!

Rick, nice king. We were working the same general area as you on occasion. Have to say that for the most part however, we didn't have much of a screen. I had short day and from past history felt the ladders to the flats would hold some matures at this time of year regardless of temp. We did decent bite total wise but no real quality. Did get a few decent steelies and got bit off on a 400' copper pulling a green glow E- chip with hammer fly. Bl /green glow, and Stinger 42 second went on a number of occasions, 66 down to 100. Talked to Eric on a number of occasions, until the cell went totally dead. Congrats on putting a king on the board--Duane-HeavenBound
