Mexico Bay Trip Aug 23-25

[SmellsLikeFishNH]

Took my wife and 12yr old Nephew for their 1st trips to Lake O. Launched out of Mexico and took some local advice to start our trip. Didn't pan out the way we had hoped, had a few hits on Friday and landed just 1 brown. Saturday was a bit better for us had 8 hits and landed 3, a 4th was lost at the boat when the 12 year old knocked the hook out of the kings mouth with the net. Sunday we started off with our 1st king about 15 minutes after the lines were in. Had a few other hits but only got the 1 to the boat on Sunday.

 

Had tons of marks in the top 20ft of water so ran a 4 color rod straight down the pipe but no luck with that.

 

Best action for us was in 120ft of water between 60 and 80ft down. Mid 40's for temps were down in the 70ft range. Most of our action came out towards the plant. Our hottest rod all weekend was a 350 copper, had at least 6 hits on it, landing 2 of them. 3 hits on Dipsy's and just landed 1 of them. Meat rigs took our other fish.

 

I wish our numbers were better but still had a blast.
