Copilottruman Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Started the day off a bit later than we wanted but I keep forgetting how early first light is. Went off nicks earlier report of possible kings by the piers so at 7am we set in front. Not a few moments after setting the first downrigger it took off! Landed a very solid king. Made an quick circle and again another king! However this one unbuttoned due to poor netting :/. We kept making circles in 30-35 fow and had 5 fish in 2 hours in front. Decided to pick up and then run out to 110 where we immediately took another very solid king. We stayed at that depth all morning taking another 5 fish until the waves built due to the approaching weather. So here's what worked. Direction didn't really matter. Going south 2.5 SOG worked best. Shallow: BLL hawg wild rigger 15 & 20 - 2 kings 1 coho 2 shakers Deep: BLL electric lemonade MAG - 1 coho Rigger 71 with white flasher UV aqua fly - 1 king Low Dipsy 131 back silver flasher UV aqua fly - laker/ king 300 cu SOG froggie 1 king Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greek Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This is how it's done. Outstanding effort and a great report. We are all soooooooooo lucky to be able to get into these great fish. Fisherman on the west coast are fighting with the agencies to even get a season to fish and we get to harvest these magnificent finned marvels. Hope to get out with you again. You are a wise fisherman beyond your years. Tight lines! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
