Fishing Report

We got off to a slow start again this morning up north. We were all “plugged up”. We had them on 3 cores, 2 coppers and one out down and we never had a plug bite. Our wire divers went several times early but we had trouble getting them to stick. Our high wire diver out 167 with a 10″ Blue Bubble/ Glow Blue Bubble Action Fly Meat Rig went 4 or 5 times and we never landed a fish on it . A low wire diver out 145 with a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/ Custom Dreamweaver Meat Rig took 2 Kings for us. We pulled all our plugs except for a number 3 Moldy Wonder Bread Silver Horde on a 175 copper and replaced  them with Spin Doctors and meat rigs. The 175 copper with the number 3 plug has went at least twice each day the past few days but didn’t go today. We took 3 Lakers on a Tin Can Dodger/Yellow Red Dot Spin-N-Glow off our chute rigger. A high wire diver with a 10″ Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/4th of July Big Water Meat Rig went twice, once at 145 and again at 185. Our only copper bites came on a 300 with a 10″ Chrome Kevorkian Spin Doctor/Green UV Big Water Rig. We took 2 Kings on it. The biggest is pictured  left. We took a big Steelhead on a regular size Fuzzy Bear Green Dolphin free sliding above a magnum Fuzzy Green Dolphin set at 65 feet on an out down. Our last fish came on a 10″ Yellow Sparkler Spin Doctor/Yellow Gasoline DW Meat Rig out 200 on a high wire diver.  We fished the Bank early and then moved out to deeper water. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

Fished north today setting up off the bank. Seems like there’s getting to be more boats up there every day. I’m sure the boat traffic is going to get worse before it gets better. We hit out first fish on a number 3 glow plug on a 175 copper rod. We caught a small Trout on our chute rigger just off the bottom but it was a little too small so we threw it back. Had one more throw back Trout before we took a second King. It hit a low wire diver out 135 with a 10 ” White Green Spin Doctor/Custom Dreamweaver Meat Rig. It was quite a while before we had another bite. We rode all the way to the 06’s without so much as a nibble. We turned west in the 06’s and caught a nice Brown out 120 on a low wire diver with a 10″ White Green Holo Spin Doctor/Pickle Sunshine Action Fly Meat Rig. We no sooner got the Brown in the boat when a high wire diver out 145 with a 10″ Mountain dew Slick Spin Doctor/4th of July Big Water Meat rig got bit by a good size King. We got that one too.  We took 2 Lakers on a Tin Can Dodger/Yellow Red Dot Spin-N-Glow bouncing bottom with our chute rigger. We took our last 2 Kings in a little over 200 feet of water. One took a 300 copper with a 10″ Chrome Crush Glow Spin Doctor with Green Dots/Froggie Dreamweaver Meat Rig. The other came on a high wire diver out 185 on the 10″ Mountain Dew Slick Spin Doctor/4th of July Big Water Rig. We ran the 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly combo that took 4 bites yesterday on a high wire diver for a while today and it never had a hit, go figure.  We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and use Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
