SUPERTRAMP Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The MC2 left the slip @ 5:30 and set lines at the peir heads at 5:50. got 4 riggers set and the first fish of the day hit an orange killer 70 back and 18 dn on the rigger in 26 FOW. I would like say that the day got better but not the case. We stayed around the piers until it was so full of boats you had to be real careful to not run over any other boats gear, especially the 1 guy that had to go clockwise in a counter clockwise pack of boats. Must have been 30 in a very small are in front of the pier. Oh well first fish was a nice Skamania about 7 lbs. Pulled the gear @ 7:15 and ran to 180 and trolled out to 220 not a hint of a fish and not much on the graph. Trolled in toward the pier and finally at 12:40 the 300' 45# copper ripped on the Starboard side of the boat. Handed the rod to a lady fm Seattle Washington and she did a super job to boat a 23# King, the first fish she had ever caught, (Stinger Lemon Ice). @ 1:30 we had the final fish of the day, on the port 300 copper a nice 3 year old King around 12 lbs. (Stinger Lemon Killer). And that was it for the day fished from 5:50 AM to 1:55 and only 3 to show for it but all were nice fish and my friends Tom Woods and his sister, Brother in law and Sister in law all had a great day on the water. All smiles at the cleaning station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliftp Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 You sure have great posts. Thank you. We were out in front of the piers on Friday and stayed for 7 hours total and ended up with two. The traffic was terrible on Friday so can't imagine the traffic you dealt with. Paul C.Mattawan, MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so many boats in the small area maybe 1/2 mile north to just south of the barge that they were spooked and were going right up the river. It was hilarious at 2 pm when we came in there were still a dozen boats working the dirty water. Good luck to em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
