Blackhawk Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Fished The Dreamweaver Benefit for Kids Tournament out of Grand Haven Set up in 100' off Rosy mound headed SW at 5:00am. Just in front of around 50 to 60 other boats and some of the calmest water I have seen in a while. got both riggers and both divers set and had the Starboard rigger down 60' with the white spin doctor/ fly release as the first copper was going out. cranked it in quick as the king was at the back of the boat and in the net fast. This fish went 13.7 lbs Managed to get a couple long lines out and just as a 3 color with the board straight back being deployed is starting to pull out the Port Rigger with the probe and a Wonderbread glow spoon down 50' releases with a real good fish on it. After some great rod handling and a clean net we put him in the cooler. 24.4 lbs. and good enough to take Big fish honors. We had the Wonderbread go again with a fiesty 8 - 10 lb. steely get right to the back and in the net only to have him launch straight up and under the rigger cable and gone. Finally 2 misses on each dipsey and spent the rest of the mourning searching. Never had a long line fire Best water has been 105' - 120' for us out of GH 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
