GLF Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I took today off work because we did not have a baby sitter. Since I took the day off work....I might as well go fishing. I decided I would keep Hunter out of school today, and my boys would go with me. We were joined by a Dan(coworker) and his son Blake. We left the dock around 7:45 and motored out to 80FOW and I started setting lines. Before I had everything in the water, we were hooked up with a nice fish on a slider set 5' above the ball on a rigger set at 40'. After I handed the rod off to Dan, the slider broke. This was a Stinger stingray size Craigs x-mas. Our next fish was on a full core with a Stinger mag size Green Wiggle. This fish came unbuttoned half way to the boat. 0 for 2 We trolled around picked away for the next 1.5 hours. Around 11:30 I put the boat on a North troll in 130 FOW, and 15 minutes later the rods started popping. We had a triple going and a downrigger popped, but no one was home. We landed 2 out of the 3 fish in this triple. We continued trolling North picking up a couple of more. Then I spun the boat back around to go back through the spot where we caught the triple. On our way through it again, we picked up and landed another double. :Thumb. My son Hunter caught his biggest fish to date today. It weight 16 lbs 14 oz. This was on a half core with a Stinger stingray size Craigs X-Mas. Here are the boys and our catch today. We caught 7 Kings(6 over 10 lbs) 1 Coho 2 Steelhead 3 Lake Trout We pulled lines at 1:30pm and went in. What worked for us today. Stinger stingray size Craigs X-Mas(went 4 times) Stinger mag size Killer Dolphin Stinger mag size Killer Blue Dolphin Stinger stingray size Double Orange Crush Stinger mag size Green Wiggler Stinger stingray size NBK 2 color cores, 3 color cores, half cores, full cores, riggers set at 40' 50' and 60'. We also caught 2 fish on a wire diver. This was set on 3 with 150' of line out. These were both taken on a Protroll prochip8 Double Pearl Fishscale with a Siggs Rigs Brushed Stainless trophy fly(This is a GREAT looking fly and will produce fish!) Oh yeah.....After we netted one of the steelhead, I noticed some mono coming out of its mouth. I looked inside and there was a chartreuse spawn bag inside.

Rob Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Nice box of fish. Sure was a great day on the water today. After getting a late start and had to be off the lake early I ended up 6 for 10 all kings over 10 lbs. found the fish just when it was time to go. 120 fow was where i caught all my fish. I took most of the fish with a 17 color core with a sitnger stingray killer blue. Glad I had first timer on the boat:) maybe next time he will be on time and not make me wait on him.
