Fishing Report

We fished north yesterday and today. Our crew toughed it out in the rain and had pretty good action. We hit three fish in the dark and landed 2 of them. After the early morning bite we moved out to deeper water and worked east and west off the Point. The action was never hot, but we picked away at them and ended up with some nice fish. Today was a different story. It was a tough bite. We set up in the dark with 13 rods out and ran the Bank all the way to the 04’s and never had a bite. I was in contact with 2 other charter boats and it was the same story for them. We turned west in the 04’s and hit a fish 105 down on the chute rigger with a 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action fly. It wasn’t on long . We took our 1st fish on a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly on an out down set at 70 feet. Our 2nd King came on a high wire diver out 250 with a 10 Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Ocean Mist Action Fly. We didn’t take our other 2 Kings until the last half hour of the trip. We took our biggest fish on a 350 copper with a 10″ Chrome Mountain Dew NBK Spin Doctor/Moo Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig. Our last King came on a 200 copper with a Mag Fuzzy Bear Hot Rod spoon. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s copper on all our copper rods.

Tough fishing up north the last two mornings. Bites have been hard to come by. The water was very warm yesterday, 73 degrees down 120 ft., and not much cooler today. All our fish came deep. Our last fish yesterday came 180 down on the chute rigger on  Tin Can Dodger/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We took another King on an out down set at 170 ft. with an 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We had 6 bites yesterday and got all 6. Today we again had 6 bites and got 4 of them. Our crew didn’t lose any. The 2 we missed didn’t hook up. Today we took a King on a high wire diver out 240 with a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Fairways Strong Fly and another King on a high wire out 260 with a 10″ Black Crush Spin Doctor/Blue Fairways Strong Fly. We missed one on a low wire diver out 213 with a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Cold Steel Big Water Tackle Meat Rig and took our biggest King on the other low wire out 275 with a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Fairways Strong Fly. We took another King on a 450 copper with an 11″ Black White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We are hoping the northwest wind will cool the water and improve the fishing.
