Fishing Report

Toughest day of the season so far for us today. We started out at the pierheads. The screen on our graph looked good, lots of fish and bait. We fished there for s couple hours a didn’t have a bite. We pulled lines and ran north setting up in 100 feet of water just south of the Point. Surface temp on our Fish Hawk was 61.2 degrees  and it was 41 down 50 feet. We took it  about 3 miles north without a bite. The down temp had warmed to 51 degrees. We turned it out toward deeper water when our chute rigger with a Trout rig took a hit. We missed it. Our 7 1/2 color core with a glow plug was next and the fish escaped. We turned back south in 200 feet of water. The down temp at 50 feet was 60 out there. We angled it in toward the Point and hit a fish on a high wire diver out 165 with an 8″ Chrome Kevorkian Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. That fish got tangled in our chute rigger and got away. Time was running out and it was beginning to smell like a skunk when our 7 1/2 color core went again. It was a Coho and we boated it. Whew!  Very tough day. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and pull our coppers and cores with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

We weren’t too sure about going this morning due to the forecasted thunder storms but there was no lightning  at 5:00 a.m. so we headed north and started fishing. The picture on our graph didn’t look good, very few marks and no bait. All lines were set in the dark and no bites. Was wondering if we should have set back closer to the harbor when a high wire diver out 165 with a 10″ White Crush Black Dot Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig took off. Our out down set a 65 feet with a pair of glow spoons fired and a 10 color core with a Wonder Bread Captain’s Choice Cut Plug went too. We had our hands full. We boated 2 out of the 3. We had one other double a little later in the morning. After the morning flurry the action was never hot and heavy but it was steady. Our best rod was a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 155 on a high wire diver. It went 3 times with big Kings. We had a low wire out 110 on a low wire diver with an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. It only went once. Several plug bites today. We hit fish on both our 10 color cores, 200, 225, 250 & 275 coppers all on plugs. Our 2 best were a Green Glow Black Ladderback and Wonder Bread Captain’s Choice Cut Plugs. We did get some rain but we were all happy it didn’t keep us off the Lake. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and pull our cores and coppers with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.
