Yankee @ the Oak July 16/17

[Yankee Troller]

Sorry for the delayed report. It's hectic between family, work, and the charter business.

 

Saturday 16th morning

On this morning it was nice to have options. The rumor was that fleas were horrible outside of 150'. We fished 80-200' looking for a Salmon bite, but all we could muster up were skippers and fat chicks. A few phone calls and we had a report from a buddy doing well on the Brown Trout. We picked rods, ran in, and put out our best Brown Trout spoons. That bite was pretty good. Our biggest went 13.11lbs.

 

Our best spoons were DW SS's in Gold Sea Sick Waddler, Glow Frog, UV Mongoose, and Geezer. Our Cannon Downriggers within 10' of the bottom, 7 and 10 colors of FishUSA Stealthcore, and DW Deeper Divers out 90-115' on 2.5-3 settings.

 

 

Saturday 16th afternoon

The afternoon was very busy, but we lacked the size we saw in the morning. We landed a dozen keepers, threw back a couple shorts, and lost a dozen. 40' of water was best for us. They were chewing Bay Rat Lures 3.5's in Black Flash and My Secret, DW SS's in Gold Sea Sick Waddler, and UV Mongoose.

 

Sunday 17th morning

In the morning we made a run and set up 10 miles West of Port in 60' of water. We trolled from 60' of water North to the 28N line. We ended up settling in at the 27/28N line 10-12 miles West of Port. We basically went fishing and figured the bite out! Our Cannon Downriggers were firing 40-50' down with spoons and DW deeper divers were taking shots from 100-150' out. We ran 5 junk lines. To start we ran a pair of 250' A-TOM-MIK coppers on one board, a pair of 300" A-TOM-MIK coppers on the other board, and a 400' A-TOM-MIK copper down the chute. We ended by pulling the 250's and replacing them with 10 colors of FishUSA Stealthcore. Our best spoons were DW mag Silver with Green Glow tape, DW mag UV Lemon Ice, UV Shelly Snack, and UV Caddy Shack.
