5/5 - Left the pier heads at 6ish and headed NW. Got about 4 miles and realized the engine temp was almost rdline. :shock: . Shut the boat down and figured out that it was a bad impellar. CG towed us to Wilson. We threw the boat on the trailer and headed to the boat doctor in Olcott. Boy he is good! We were back fishing by 1:30. Fished till 5 and did 10 fish, all kings. Best set up was a white/white spin doctor with a no see um fly off the clear dipsey 120 back on a 3 setting. Biggest weighed almost 22.
5/6 - Got out real early, becasue we felt jipped about Friday. Set up and didnt have a touch for 30 minutes. Then all of a sudden all heck broke loose. From 6-9 we did 10 kings. The freakin MULATTO spooks were HOT!!!!!!!Biggest was just under 23lbs. After 9 we did 1 fish until we picked up at noon. Got back out around 5 and did 2 more fish. 120 wire dipsey TC dodger and pink/black fly 120 back clear dipsey on a 3 settting. Put a pink VP down and it took a small steely.
5/7 - OUr best day by far because we fished from 6-3. Set up shallow in the morning looking for a brown or something on top in 50'. Got the tweo color lead and the full core out on the baords and bang on the 2 color with a jointed orange rapala. Line broke!
Fished the rest of the day and ended up 16/22. Mostly kings with a steely thrown in. The bite kept changing all day long. You would find a lure that worked, and then nothing. You would have to change and find something else they wanted. Today it was the cores that were flying. Stinger magnum Penguins, Chicken Wings, and an NK black silver with the green laser tape. Lost a steely on the 2 color with a chartruse jointed rapala. Spoons on the riggers were Mulottos, Baby showers, Froggy's, Chicken Wings, Penguins, and 1 oni the Habanero. :shock: :shock: :shock: Now I need to plead my case. I was letting it down on the downrigger and I thought I was to tight and popped the release onthe way down. All of a sudden the dumb fish was jumping in the back on the boat with an ugly lure hanging out of its mouth. Then he threw it. He must have realized we made a mistake. He was supposed to hit the Mullato on the other rigger. I will admit though it was the smallest fish of the day. :lol: Biggest fish was somewhere around 20-21.
On a side note. Coming to work today SUCKED! I wanna take the whole month off next year and just fish down there all of May.
