I have been on Winni since last Saturday. We are leaving tomorrow. Fished “new to me” areas and had a great time. Fish were scattered before this cold front set in, and we didn’t have much luck today. Riggers at 35’ were hot throughout, but the key seemed to be getting out early, or being out right at sunset. Metal was the best producer at speeds around 2.2. Lead core didn’t do diddly for us with flies or metal, but the only hits we had were on single flies for lead.Hope you guys finish out strong. Here’s two nice salmon we got.
Nice meeting you yesterday..we did alright ..one school weighed two five lb smallies..one went 5.33
Nice job Jethro! How do you like the new boat set up after using it for a season?
Thanks! I love the boat. It's big for sure, and I wouldn't have bought that big but I am really happy with it ultimately. The rigger locations worked well for me, but I am definitely moving to electric riggers next year. I'll have my two Penns for sale soon. Everything I was told about my 6 horse 4 stroke kicker was right... A single cyl kicker is a mistake. Runs perfect, just chunky. I may try to sell it and move into a twin but maybe not, it's minor on the list of upgrades. I tried all season to fall in love with the Lowrance but it's official- I do not like that Lowrance Elite 5, so that will go before next season as well. Overall it fishes awesome! Really glad it worked out the way it did.
What kind of boat do you have? I’ve been looking at the WA boats like a lot of the charters use...need some weather protection.
