Twill23 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Finally got some time off and headed over to Frankfort kind of late Friday night, set up camp and hit the water just as the sun was disappearing. We ended the evening with 4 very nice kings one being 23lbs. Fished in 70-80fow on a north troll 200copper-Green splatter plug 6oz snap 100back-white plug Low wire diver 80back-Green coyote green fly(2) Saturday morning we started setting lines at 6am, apparently a little too late because we ended up not getting the full spread into the water until 7:30 because we were too busy fighting fish! 9 fish by 8 and we called it a good morning. 115-130 fow 200copper-green splatter plug Low wire diver 80 back(4) green coyote green fly Riggers down 63 green coyote green fly 6oz snap 100back-white plug (took all of our fish) Saturday evening we launched at about 5pm. Headed out to 250fow and set. Took 2 coho right away and then 2 small kings. Then it slowed right down. We headed toward shallower water but just couldn't get it going taking only 1 fish on a rigger 63 down on a michael jackson spin dr and green mag squid.. It was almost pitch black, and we were about to start pulling lines when all hell broke loose. 5 fishing coming all at one time. Almost instantly the 6oz snap goes, 100 copper, 200 copper, rigger at 63 and rigger at 58. We ended up landing all 5 in complete darkness. Talk about being exhausted afterwards. We ended with 10 fish. 86fow 100copper-blue splatter 200copper-chrome spin dr green fly 6oz snap-white plug rigger 63- green coyote green fly Rigger 53- Green coyote green fly Low divers at 120- green coyote green fly Sunday morning we launched a little earlier and got our entire spread in the water! Again we were slightly worried as it got light out, and fish just werent going. We FINALLY took a king on a low diver and it all started going again. Divers were the ticket. Taking the first 3 fish. Soon as we caught the first 3 kings back to back to back, we tripled up, with the 6oz snap going first.. SCREAMING. The board went down like a bobber. Then the diver and a 200 copper. We decided to land the copper and diver first, leaving the 6oz snap in a rod holder with relatively heavy drag. First one hit the deck, 19lbs. Second one hit the deck, 19.5lbs, and after 45 minutes the 3rd hit the deck at 27lbs. We had cleared most of the gear and again had made a mess. It was getting rough so we decided to run out and just make an easy troll back through the same area. We ended up taking two more fish, 200 copper and a low diver. As it was getting rough we decided to call it an awesome morning with 8 fish(having farmed one right behind the boat).

dogfish Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sounds like a great time! That mean looking king with the broken nose would make a cool looking mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
