Yankee @ the Oak 7/23 - 7/24 and SCS - Pic Heavy

July 23rd:

What an absolute bloodbath it was offshore at the Oak today! We had our long time clients from Maryland out with us, and since we didn't have an afternoon trip we decided to enter the Sandy Creek Shootout with them. From 6am to 9am we couldn't get 8 rods in the water! Kings, big Coho, and large Steelhead all wanted to harass our spread, and we figured we had North of 45 chews.

Our Cannon Downriggers were firing from 60-80' down. All had spoons mupped on them. Those flavors were Carbon 14, DW Sea Sick Waddler, and FishUSA 's custom DW Glow Roy Boy. At times we slipped in FishUSA's custom DW Martell's and UV Lemon Ice. Our DW Deeper Divers were pulling green flashers with meat rigs on a 1.5 setting out 175-225'. The A-TOM-MIK coppers we ran were 300-400' with Green flashers pulling A-TOM-MIK Green Crinkle and BAM flies.

July 24th:

You just can't beat the July offshore chew at the Oak! Our friends from Maryland were at it again today. We ran offshore to the 27.5N line 17W and set up on a North troll. Nice mature Chinook Salmon, great Coho, and extra large Steelhead we're all part of our catch.

Our Cannon Downriggers fired from 55-85' down. We ran a deep meat rigger at times because we saw marks 150-300' down, but it never fired. Spoons that worked for us today on the downriggers were custom FishUSA DW Glow Gladiator, Glow Roy Boy, Sea Sick Waddler, Gold 42nd, and Carbon 14. All the downriggers were mupped. Our DW Deeper Divers on 1.5 settings fired from 175-225' out. Green flashers pulling meat rigs worked on those. As for A-TOM-MIK coppers we ran a pair of 300' on the boards and a 400' down the middle. Spoons on the 300s, and a green flasher/A-TOM-MIK Green Crinkle on the 400'.
