bluefin75 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Fished out of GH instead of muskegon this morning. Got in the channel and started setting up and realized I left my boards, dipsy's and fishcatcher fly combos at home:( So we ran downriggers and 3color lead straight back. Took first fish, 18 pound king in 50fow on 3 color with j-plug. Then worked out ot 120'. Took one steelhead on same setup. Had three releases with nothing there so ended up 2 for 6. Sounded a little slow from radio chatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priority1 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Scott, At least you managed to get a couple of fish. Not bad considering you left some tools at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefin75 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Guess I was a little tired still when I posted that, it was friday morning and 2 fish and three releases would equal 2 for 5. The king was a male and we weighed it so I'm not guessing, that was my best fish this year. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Nice job Scott. I only count them if we have them on, and then loose them. If its a knock off and nobody is home, it is not counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin75 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 So for the third correction of my post we were 2-2. 100% catch rate, I'll take that. I'm guessing releases with nothing there could be a false release, but one of those three bounced a little so it was a fish, just didn't get the rod in hand before it was gone. Won't forget the rest of my tackle on the next trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
