5-12-18 Fishing Report

We fished south today setting up by the project in 70 to 75 feet of water (fow). There have been a few Kings caught lately in those waters so we only had 2 rods with Lake Trout rigs and the rest were set to target Kings. We hit our first King on a low wire diver, regular diver & ring, out 120 with an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. We hit 3 fish on that rig, a Trout that we landed and another King that got away. We weren’t marking many fish on our graph so we headed in a little shallower. We ended up working between 50 & 70 fow. We took 2 Kings on a 10 color core with an 8″ White Blade Slick UV Tape Blue Dot Spin Doctor/Blue Fairways Strong Fly, pictured below. A little later in the morning we put out a few more trout rigs and had good success with them. Our best Trout rig was an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Chrome Mountain Dew Yellow Dot Whirly Gig on our low divers fished on or near the bottom. A regular size Yeck Copperhead on a 5 color core took 2 Kings. Our other 5 color took 3 bites with a Super Slim DW Two Face spoon. A SS Green Skinny Jeans went twice on a 7.5 color core and we took one of our biggest Kings on the other 7.5 color core with a regular size Fuzzy Bear Modified Green Dolphin. Near the end of our trip we put 10″ White Spin Doctor Dark Green Prism/Pickled Sunshine Meat Rig on a high wire diver out 120. We hit a nice King on it but lost him at the back of the boat.
