We were caught by surprise again this morning heading north on a 5 hour charter. The water was a lot rougher and colder than we expected. The waves were from the west northwest, and it made getting set up on a north troll difficult for us. We started in 150 feet of water. It was 63.4 on the surface and 43.9 down 60 feet on our Fish Hawk. We had about 6 rods in when the chute rigger down 80 with an 11″ White Crush DW Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly rubber band stacked with an SS Soda spoon fired. The King took the stack. We were rigged up figuring the temp break would be down deeper, so we had a lot of baits to switch out. Our second fish came on the port out down set at 60 with a pair of SS Half Green Jeans. The fish took the stack. We missed a fish on that rigger too. We took a small King on a high wire diver out 180 with a 10″ White Crush Green Dot Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig. A Lake Trout took an 8″ Custom Chrome Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 145 on a high wire diver. Our starboard low wire diver out 85 with an 8″ Chrome Frog Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly took a rip but didn’t hook up. Our last fish came on a 7.5 color core with a Yeck Fireball. We run Morgan’s tackle copper and wire. We use Dreamweaver Ninja Boards, Dreamweaver Deeper Divers, and Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.
