I-Bay 8/8

[Sweet Caroline]

Fish are right on schedule with a fantastic offshore mature bite this morning! Slightly east of I-Bay, 600 + fow, 12 miles offshore. 100-120 down was best, but temp was coming up fast by late morning. Anything white was good. Best Spoon being a lure I call the ghost, which is glow cup, white face with black the silver ladder back. Great spoon when matures are down deep offshore. Wonderbread spin docs with meat on wire divers good as well. Good luck

Save your gas Wally, The wind will shift and they'll be here before you know it.

Without trying to sound like I know what I’m talking about,  Wouldn’t your 600  depth correspond more with a 22 or 23 N line. 43 is the degree line. 23 would be the minutes and much more accurate. We saw you running in late morning. Thanks for the wide swing around us in 120fow

Good catch Unreel. You are correct. That was 3 beers and 3 hrs of sleep typing.

Thanks for the report.  Looks like I'll be putting the throttle down to head deep in the morning.

With the colder water moving up you likely will not have to go out that far as J.D. mentioned. We usually set in 350-400 fow this time of year and point N. Would save you a few miles on your trip. Normally don’t need to go out quite that far to find migrating matures in August. 
 

good luck and be safe.
