9-10-16 Fishing Report

The Lake was fairly calm when we headed north this morning. Our crew was a little late getting to the boat but it was still early when we set lines. We missed our first 3 bites. We finally took a hard fighting King on a glow spoon 55 down on an out down. We had 2 other bites before we boated our 2nd King. It came on a 300 copper with an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. That combo went twice for us. Our biggest King weighed over 24 lbs. and came on a 350 copper with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We had 2 meat bites and didn’t get either one. The first came on a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Froggie Big Water Meat Rig on a out down set at 75 feet. The other came on a 10″ Showtime Spin Doctor/Blue UV Big Water Rig on a 375 copper. We had 9 bites total. Our crew did a good job on the rods, we just couldn’t keep them hooked. It looked like a good day for diver action, but we never had a diver bite. The wind picked up during the morning and the waves got pretty big. We pulled our lines a little early in very strong winds and pouring rain. The weather was good through most of the trip. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s copper on all our copper rods.
