Fishing Report

Heavy boat traffic and dense fog made for some tough fishing for us up north today. We missed our first two bites, one on a low wire diver out 150 with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig and the other on an out down set at 60 feet with a Green Ladder Back Captains Choice Cut Plug. We landed our first King on a 300 copper with a Blue Glow Dreamweaver Plug and took our second one on a high wire diver out 200 with a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. We were working between 100 and 110 feet of water. Our action dried up and we wanted to head out to deeper water, but we were pinned in by other boats and were stuck where we were. We were finally able to turn out near the Point and we headed southwest. We trolled for quite awhile before our high wire out 200 with the Blue Bubble rig took a hit, but we missed it. We hit another fish on an out down set at 84 ft.with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig and that one got off  at the back of the boat. We turned back north in the 01’s and finally took another King on the Kevin’s Girlfriend /Green Mile on the out down at 84 feet. We kept working north and hit two more on our low wire out 170 with the 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig. We boated one of them and took our last King on a high wire out 270 with a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig. A 300 copper with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Ocean Mist Action Fly went twice and neither one got a good hook up. We had 11 bites and got 5 of them. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

We fished up north today and both trips yesterday. The water is warm all the way down to 90 feet. Mature Kings don’t seem to care about the warm temps. Early in the morning and late in the evening they are hitting plugs for us on 7 & 10 color cores and 175 & 200 coppers. Best plugs have been Natural Glow, Lucky Charms, Wonder Bread and Pearl Zebra  Dreamweaver Captain’s Choice Cut Plugs . This morning the Lucky Charms on a 175 copper went 3 times. We have been running a 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly down 90 on our chute rigger first and then switching to a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig down 98 later. The Pearl Zebra Cut Plug has been good on an out down 55 down and a Lucky Charms 56 down on the other out down on our first pass. After that we have been switching to Spin Doctors and Flys or Spin Doctors and meat rigs. Our best rig the past 2 days has been a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig. We have been taking fish on it on a 400 copper, the chute rigger, an out down set at 84 feet and a low wire diver out 180. After the morning flurry we have been moving out to deeper water and fishing deeper in the water column, but we are still leaving a couple plugs up on 10 color cores or 175 coppers. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
