Wittingen Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Fished Port Sheldon this morning from about 5:30 until about 10. We ended up going 2 for 8 catching an 11lbs king and a 5lbs king. blue veggie on rigger down 55ft 1 for 2 (11lb king)glow watermelon spoon fixed slider 10ft above ball down 60 ft 0 for 1dipsey 200 back on 3 crushed glow spin doctor and a glow fly dont remember the name 1 for 1 (5lb king)mag dipsey 125 back on 1 with green splatter back silver horde j-plug 0 for 2mag dipsey 110 back on 1 with coyote spoon 0 for 1 broken leaderdipsey 250 back on 3 white e-chip flasher and mirage fly 0 for 1All hits came between 90 and 105 fow with the majority coming on a west to southwest troll. Up until today have never really had a problem with losing fish on the dipseys but most fish were usually on long enough to grab the rod out of the rod holder and then they were gone. I guess it was just one of those day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornets nest Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I was having the same problem with loosing fish on the dipsey rods when I switched to the mags problem was the rod didn't have enough backbone and was to tight to the fish with not enough give to the rod switched to a longer rod with more backbone and problem gone. Just a thought! Nice report thou, Thank You! How close was the 2-4 bump predictions was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittingen Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 The wave forecast for this morning was about right on. It was a fairly bumpy ride and then throw in a boat running around you and setting up lines about directly in front of you and them not knowing which direction they are going to troll. Just a little annoying when you had been going on the same heading for a while and then have to try dodging them in the chop that was out there this morning.

Just Hook'n Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Nice work Corey. I had a similar problem with hook ups on my dipseys (flies). I switched everything out to 4/0 single gamakatsu (sp?) hooks an problems went away. Also, keep the drag REALLY loose, but I am sure you knew that.
