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.

Tough start up north this morning for us. We set up on a north troll into the waves. it was a sloppy troll.  We hit a double first thing in the dark on 2 kings. One took a blue glow spoon set at 55 on an out down and the other took a 10″ Glow Blade White Crush Spin Doctor/Green Mirage Strong Fly 75 down on the chute rigger. The King on the chute ran across the other fish and broke off. The fish on the out down ran out a lot of line and wouldn’t come to the boat.  We had to put out both our sea anchors and slow down to a crawl. It took about 30 minutes to land that King. When we finally got him in the net it was daylight and the bite was over for us. We turned in the 04’s back south for a down wind troll just off the Bank. We hit a couple fish before we turned back north and angled out to deeper water. We took a couple trout on a 10″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Chrome Chartreuse WhirlyGig down 180 feet on an out down. Our wire divers were good. A 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig went 3 time 165 feet on a high wire diver. We took a Steelhead on a 10″ Chrome UV Crush Yellow Dot Spin Doctor/UV On Ice Big Water Meat Rig on a 200 copper. We took a big King on a 10″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Death Big Water Rig on a low wire out 110. We had good action in the deeper water and finished the trip with a triple and a double. I will be posting more pictures from todays  charter on Free Style Charters Face Book page. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s copper on all our copper rods.
