Martin1950 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Cleared the river at 0600hrs. heading S/W. 3 rod spread, 150x30 CU with #4 J-Plug, Gr. Glow splatter back, 200x30 Cu. with a #5 J-Plug, Gr.Glow splatter back, D/R down 50ft with Pearl Glow ladder back spoon. The DR took an 8# King, the #5 plug took a 14# King before I hit 60fow, trolled out to 80’, nothing and reversed course. Again the #5 plug anchored a hard fighting fish on the turn, it cleared the water 3 times while stripping line, STEELIE I thought, but 20 minutes later I had a 16# King in the net, reel a little, correct course, repeat, often into the wind and the waves. The 150 CU. did chirp once but no one was home. After 2 hours of changing stuff around with nothing to show for it I headed for home. Final tally in meat, 16 thick steaks, 4 fillets of tail and 2 full length slabs for the grill, oh and 2 nice lengths of roe to boot!!!! Not too bad for a time limited trip. Might try again Thursday if my kneels will heal up. "Getting old ain't for sissy's" Martin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
