SPOONWASHER

Surprised me too, like Tarrey said we have come in much later in the past and had it open. Pretty disappointing

Made it out for a trip after work today. I think we passed the pier heads at around 5:30 and ran out to 75fow heading straight west. I just set the last rod when I walked up to the front of the boat, turned around and the port rigger had released. Laker 68 down on a flounder pounder. Turned it NW after that and hit a nice king on a Warrior yellow and orange holo dolphin spoon (similar to a miami dolphin) on a rigger parked at 50. Putting that rigger back and the half core with a Craigs Christmas goes. That came unbuttoned and no sooner did a dipsy start RIPPING. Nice screamer for all of 3 seconds before it went dead. Then it got quiet for awhile. Ended up picking up 2 more kings on the Warrior spoon off a rigger 60 down and 66 down. These fish came on a south troll. SOG for the NW troll was 2.8 and 3.2 for the south troll. Picked stuff up at about 8:15 and figured we would clean fish in the light. Wrong, the launch that cost 7$ had locked up the cleaning station and bathrooms before 9pm.

Ended 4 for 6, best depth was in the 90s.

Heres a picture of the spoon that did most of the work.

Nice to see the report Frank, thanks! I wish you well with your surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Awesome job, I love that magic time when the sun hits the water and things start going good! Thank you for the report, Ben.

It would be awesome to have this at other ports, I like the idea a lot! Thank you very much for putting this up. Quite often at school we will have work days and such where we listen to our ipod but today I pulled this live stream up on my phone, worked great.

Listen to whatever Matt tells you, just make sure you try to avoid tournaments if possible. Your weekend will be more enjoyable.

Kevin, That is an awesome rig! IMO there is no better aluminum boat setup out there! Who made your arch? It looks like it folds down.. Call me crazy but I think I am going to have one built for my boat.

Yeah Lund is under Hewes for sure! Wish I could afford one.

I agree with several others that Lund is the way to go. We have a 18ft Lund Fisherman that is a dual console. It is powered by a 115 horse Merc and a 9.9 kicker. It fishes VERY nice and is very trailerable. If you want any more info or pics of set up let me know!

Thanks guys, she loves it! She was a fisheries biologist for years before she became a biology teacher. Its pretty cool to already see the size variations in some of the fish. Next year I kind of want to do a "picture a week" thread so you guys can see the growth and stuff.

Yesterday we released the salmon that my mom raised as part of the Salmon In The Classroom project. Each year she receives 200 eggs and raises them until they are about 3-4 inches. It's always a lot of fun to watch their behavior. This was the best year we have ever had as we released 123 of the 200:thumb:

I am still in highschool and go with buds on the weekends. Absolutely a blast and a real challenge when your shooting at gar as skinny as a redbud can. My dads friend built a sweet pontoon with 4 toons under it exclusively for bowfishing but has since sold it. Awesome pics!

Sucks to hear that, Grant! Hope they get you back up and running in time to take peoples money;)

Way to be, those text updates were killin me. Whats our countdown at now?

Great job.

We are all going to have to get smart phones and post live reports - way too cool. Work pays for my phone, so It's kind of hard to justify a new phone when there is so much fishing stuff to buy - sush don't tell the wife.

Thanks for the report. I'm heading out of SH in the AM.

Good luck Tarrey, if I were you, I would run out to 40-50 fow straight out or maybe a little north and head south. We would mark small schools and every fish we took, we marked it on the graph first. Just made waypoints of a few schools and worked them.

Here's the two kings.

GJ on the fish Jeff!

And 18 and a 22 all in the same trip, can't beat it! Great job, Ken!

Ended a little before 3:30. Final tally was 6 for 6. 3 lakers, 2 kings, and a coho.

U can almost see the grease drippin off the side of ur boat lol. Great job bud!

Haha thats funny. Just took a 'ho on 3 color and tequila sunrise.

Now 5 for 5 braided dipsey 68 back with a screwball spoon took a laker

Another king, same set up as previous king. Heres the only pic i have on my phone. Dead flat day, ill upload pics from camera at home, i dont like gettin the pretty phone wet lol

Gettin rainy, ill take some vid next time.

Another laker, braided dipsey set on 2, 58 feet back. Mixed veggies on the business end

Got a late start and have been fishing for about an hour. Cruisin between 35-55 fow, temp is 49 on top. Took a laker on the rigger 37 down with a Protroll with white fly, and a beautiful king on a half core with a Killer Dolphin spoon. Good day on water, back to fishin. ill keep ya updated. Gotta love smartphones

Good lord!that thing is frigging sweet!
