8-7-16 Fishing Report

Absolute zoo up north this morning. The boat traffic was as bad as I’ve seen it in quite a few years. We set up back in the 00’s with no boats around us. We turned on our deck lights, started setting lines and it seemed like our lights attracted boats like yard lights attract bugs. They were all around us. We only had one board out on our starboard side. It was a 7.5 color core with a Natural Glow DW Captain’s Choice Cut Plug. We hit a big King on it and it was promptly sawed off by the boat next to us. We got pushed out off the shelf but still managed to boat 5 fish before the morning bite slowed. A pair of blue glow spoons set at 49 ft. on an out down went 3 times . Three of our first 5 fish were Cohos. We only had 2 meat bites today. They wanted plugs and spoons. We missed a fish on a low wire diver out 65 with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Froggy Big Water Tackle Meat Rig and took a good size King on a 275 copper with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig. Our crew did a great job on the rods this morning . We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s copper on all our copper rods.
