BenLubbs Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Fished both morning and evening. Morning, set up in 120 FOW just south of PS on a SW troll. Didn't hit a fish until 140 FOW Trolled south to the sliders and turned around north after heading out to 170 FOW. Pulled lines at 11:30 with 6 fish in the box, 5 kings and 1 coho, with only one more than 10lbs. Had 10 hits I think What worked: 1.8 SOG on south troll, 3.3 SOG on a north troll (insane currents down there) 140-170 FOW Chrome/Blue Spindoctors with Blue Dolphin BLL teaser rigs on rigger at 130 down on the rigger (HOT) and on the 250 #32 copper Big white paddle and poofster fly on wire diver 240 back Everything else - DEAD In the evening headed set lines around 6:00 in 170 FOW heading west. Started hitting fish when we got to 200. Worked 200 to 220 until the fish there turned off. Moved in to 160 as the sun set and started taking hits again. Ended 5 for 10 or so all kings with all but one being over 12lbs. What worked: Random speeds 200-220 FOW and 160-140 FOW Blue/Chrome Spinnies and teaser rigs 120 and 140 down on the riggers Chrome/Mtn Dew Spinnies and Irritated frog flies on the 300 copper and 240 back on the wire diver Stinger Mixed Veggies on the 5 color after dark. I'll post some pictures later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLubbs Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Pictures I should note that the guy with the glasses is from Slovakia (here learning about our machines) and has never been fishing before. Getting him hooked into a 15lb king on the 300 copper taught him quick what fishing is about Oh and one more thing, we ran the probe down first thing in the morning in 120 FOW and the water temp went from 71degrees 100 feet down down to 52 degrees on the bottom.

Treblemaker Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We fished Holland in the am Sat too, set the first line at 8:30am in 200 fow. Trolled around from 200-230 fow and had 1 fish low diver set on 250 8" chrome paddle blue bubble fly green beads.Wind had picked up from the south as we had worked north toward PS. Pulled lines, motored back to Holland 165 fow. Set the troll NNW and went 4 for 8 before we got toward PS again and called it a day. Green/chrome 12" paddle oceana fly on the bottom took 5 hits and caught 3. White paddle oceana fly 150 down took a couple hits and a fish. One hit on the diver rig and we were out.Slow troll seemed to be the ticket 1.7-2.1 GPS. Saw a bunch of waterspouts, 1 even made it to the water. Nice day, got a nice tan too. Copper was dead.
