Oak 8/19

[rdebadts]

Me and my buddy Jon got a short trip in at the oak today. It was pretty nautical out there, and steadily built throughout the morning, but was fishable with 3-5s and an occasional 6.

 

We started in 120 thinking the west wind pushed some in... it didn't. So we pointed her nw to our waypoints from earlier in the week. Once we crossed 210 it was game on. We worked 14-16 west, and had a nice class of 2-3 year olds. We had one legit monster on, that we lost due to a snapped rod?!?!?!? We went 8-12, with most fish coming on a 150 dipsey with flasher fly and 65-95 riggers with mag spoons. We had 2 doubles which was....interesting with 2 guys in 5 footers...

 

Back at it tomorrow. For what it's worth, every fish I have cleaned has had HUGE bait in their stomach.
