littleboat

I have a short base antenna looks like a CB antenna. I scan the channels so I can usually hear everyone. I didn't hear your handle, so I figured you were probably at work otherwise I would have given you a shout. Wife and I love it over here in Holland.

It was a beautifil day out there, the lake was so flat

Def a coho

It's 1st one I ever caught. Now if I can only get a brown trout.

I ran just farther north then you. About 1/2 way between ps and holland. As like you lots of marks few biters. Hits were on a uv dolphin spoon. I forgot my meat rigs but not the meat. Stuck the meat into two bw flys. They held in, but the fish could have cared less. Not one bite on them. Fish seemed to want spoons this morning. I don't know if they were in an official meat rig if it would have made any difference?

Maybe it was a coho with that combination of dark mouth and light gums. I know that steel heads typical have that square tail. The whiter gums and the way it ran along the side of the boat when I netted it, acted more like a steelhead, but i agree with you that tail is too forked for a steelhead. Thanks.

My error, it was a 6.94 # steelhead. The gums were more white upon closer inspection. Had another hit 10 minutes later but it shook the lure loose. I thought things might break loose and I would get a few more, but that was not going to be the case. I was 2.5 sog on a nw troll. The lake was beautiful today. 1/2 on the scoreboard.

9:15am pulled in 5'6# king in 135 fow, on dr 40ft down, 20ft back on uv blue dolphin. Started at 630am

On nw troll 2.5 sog

On nw troll 2.5 sog

9:15am pulled in 5-6# king in 135 fow, on dr 40ft down, 20ft back on uv blue dolphin. Started at 630am

In his originally post he had written "nw" after I mentioned the error he changed it to "NE". I was just trying to follow the story. Still a great catch with good detail

Thanks

Did you mean ne?

Didn't realize sheep got so big over on this side.

Was your 2nd pass in a different area much further then you thought?

Great catch regardless, congratulations.

Why do you think the fish bit on the second pass but not the first

Fished 9am-1:20pm

2 for 2, kings in 120 and 130 fow. 3# and 4#. 1st on 300 32# copper, sog 2.8, sw troll with blue bones spoon. 2nd one on se troll, sog 2.1, braided diver set on 3, 120bk w/ meat rig grn/white/dots.

The 1st caused quite a tangle up between a 45# 250 cu, 32# 300 cu and wire diver. Surprised me, because I thought it would have been a much bigger fish.

. I had to do some wire cutting to keep the fishing going. 3 ft waves at the time about 6.5 miles off shore. We were out to 200 but started in 80fow.

Fished 6-10:30 6-17

0/3 what a heart breaker of a day. Lost a beautiful king at the boat jumping the net. Lost another hit (?) when my guide broke as I bought in the fish cutting the line. Finally, a shaker earlier in the am.

All hits were on stinking old meat rigs, sw and w trolls at 2.7 sog, braided diver set 3 back 140 with a net minder sd(155'). Others were DR down 80 back 40' in 179 fow. Nothing hitting on LCs 5c. Started in 65ft trolled west.

Meant Windy II today.

Stopped at 90' on my way out. Water temp was warm all the way to the bottom. Headed for deeper water. Marked many, but no biters until I started a SE troll from 175'

Fished 6-8am

5.18# lake trout

1 for 2 in 135fow, sog 2.8, DR@125' back 40' w/grn &white meat rig, sse troll. Waves were 1-3' with the higher ones near shore.

Second hit came on same DR 10 minutes later.

Alot of members in our club, welcome.

1/2 lake trout 4# and shaker.

3ft waves with almost a chop alot for the littleboat. 5:50pm 1st hit.

Braided diver back 120' set 3 w/meat rig green and white and net minder sd.

Shaker came on 5 color with bloody nose spoon. Fished nw of stacks in 50'. Meant hooter when I came in.

Tough night many bugs. 1 small king caught and released. Water with many isolated cold spots/columns. 135-176 depth, should have gone shallower. Caught king on white spoon with blue ladder 300 copper 32#, 2.5 sog, s troll

Fishing was tough last night. 0/2, both hits came on a 5C with a chicken wing spoon small on a board. Last hit took my spoon. Both times it was hit really hard. Trolled from nw of ps to sw doing various patterns. Fish marking everywhere. Similar depths.

Heard you on 68 last night wondered what port you were in, thanks for the info we headed west out of ps with the spin doctor program to 150 fow and took some nice kings

Headed out of holland. I'm usually am on 68. My smaller boat I usually run out of PS. Sd program seems to work the best off drs. Divers didn't do anything even with sd & flys. I'm going to try a different technique with them next time out. Marked alot of bait in the area, but it was only when I got away from the bait balls a considerable distance did I get bites.

Love the flag, been there!

Fished 4-8pm
