Brown Blast

[Ice_man_08]

Myself, Jim (1mainiac), Just Hookin (Mark Boat Capt) and RoughDiamond (Scott) fished St. Joe on Friday from noon-5pm. Big scum line infront of the channel. Fished North from 25-55 FOW, waves were 3-5, turned south with the waves fished from the channel to A-frames from 45-15 FOW. One small Coho on J-9 jointed orange rapala that we towed for along time before realizing it was there, one for one for friday with that small coho. Waves settled down to 1-3s by 5pm and became very fishable.

We were able to try out the new Z-Board Big Daddy boards and it performed with amazing results. It kicked out far and remained on track even in the rough waters, well out performing our church boards. We used these on our highlines in order to get them the furthest away from the boat.

Hit the water on Saturday at 530am, trolled straight out of the pier heads, we were the only boat in sight until 6am. Fished North in the 45-52 FOW, marked tons of bait, big fish marks on the graph but no takers. Turned South, picked up one small coho on a high line in 42 FOW on napalm. Trolled South to about 1 mile above junk cars, the current was strong so we decided to pull lines and run south to the Cook power plant and troll North with the current and wind. Picked up small Coho and a 7lb King on an orange dodger with black fly on a 3-color in 24 FOW with 2.4 on the ball. We picked those 2 up back-to-back just north of the a-frames. Took another small king in 22 FOW on a double orange crush on a 2-color about 1/2 mile south of junk cars. Pulled lines at 1230 to head in and there was a VERY thick scum line just outside the channel flowing out from the St. Joe. Lots of boats fishing scumline. Talked with a few guys who picked up a 7lb brown who had been working in and out of the scum line.

Not sure the exact amount of points, due to most of the crew heading back to the boat for the Coast Guard Aux to do an inspection, but they never showed. As far as we know, we were top 15 and picked up a $25 gift card to fishdog.net. Congrats to fishsniffer and sixshooter on big fish and a good first place win.
