Fair Haven Shark Attack Sat April 19th!!

[Billy V]

We had a LONG day on the water today...fished 5:30am till 7:30pm with a quick lunch break in between trips. We took browns, steelies, cohos, some killer smallmouth bass (that we put back to fight another day) and a Shark today. Yep, we caught our first real King of the season today, and it came as part of a crazy 3lb coho, 7lb brown, and 12 lb. King triple to end our day! What a Chinese Firedrill that was, and what a great fight on light line. Long leads, fluorocarbon, and the #47 KA-BOOM were the ticket for us today. We also took quite a few fish on an R&R Goby looking spoon fished off of both the riggers and the planers. We took quite a few of our fish right off the bottom with Goby presentations. Conditions were very tough with no color and no temp to speak of. We worked really hard for what we got today, but our persistence paid off. Here's some of the larger fish of the day. Most everything else was cookie-cutter size.

WAY TO GO BOYS. I often catch fish that I don't target. That's a great catch. I don't know if I would have the nuts to stay out that long. Thanks for the report.

We often pick up a fair number of Smallies in the 3-4lb range in the spring while we're targeting browns. They fight like mad and can save the day when the browns aren't cooperating!
