8-22-22 Fishing Report

We have been fishing basically the same area for the last several days. W set up in 160 feet of water today. the down temp at 50 feet was 43 degrees on our Fish Hawk. This was about 10 degrees colder than yesterday. We trolled west southwest and the further out we went the down temp warmed. All our rods were set before our first bite. It came on a low wire #5 Deeper Diver out 110 with a mag Raspberry Carbon. Our high wire #4 Deeper Dive out 170 with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly and our low wire #5 Deeper Diver out 80 with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig were next. After the sun came up, we switched out the spoons on our starboard divers to Flip Fin Paddles. We had a 8″ White Slick Flip Fin/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 125 on the low wire and a prototype Chrome Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 210 on the high. Our 150 and 200 coppers both had standard DW Rasta Goose spoons on them and were good. Our 275 copper with a standard DW UV Beefeater was good too. Our crew did a great job on the rods and the weather was perfect. We had a four-man crew but two of them were camera shy.  We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle coppers and wire.
