Far Beyond Driven Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Where did all these boats come from? Sure weren't out there in March!With my 6 year old daughter in the crew we left late and set up well inside the pack. Dropped the first line at 7:20 and had the first hook up at 7:22 on a wire diver. Fished ran out to 250' and the wire undrecut (I had the drag replaced this year and the spool loosened up) and the reel locked up.11# kings are fun in cold water with a locked reel. Finally just jammed it back in the holder to wait for it to break or rip off, and kept setting lines.About 10 minutes and a couple rods later it was spinning, so I locked down the drag and reeled it in.After that we never had a full spread in until 9am. Slowed down and we turned back to port, had a few more flurries, and packed her up on plane at 11am to get to work.We ended up 10/16 with 6 kings (11-2#) and two eater coho in the box, two little guys released. Never saw 100' and never had to turn for another boat.Wire diver mountain dew spinny 1/1Slide diver mexed veggie nailer 3/62 color stinger goldilocks nothing5 color batman J nothing7 color mod caramel dolphin DW 2/2Full core DW green dolphin 2/2Rigger 40' down orange stuff nothingRigger 50' down DW coyote and blue dolphin 2/3SWR 70' down NK mag die hard 2/2If I was really working it harder I would have pulled the wire and put another slide out, and pulled the short cores and put out more long stuff, but we were being lazy.Daughter didn't farm a fish and had a couple good net jobs even though she can't hoist them over the stern yet. Dad lost plenty. So she's good to go for the WMFL next weekend - probably put her on the stick instead of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Beyond Driven Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Last Steelheader's meeting I went to in Holland I got there plenty early and then as the table filled up I was told I was in "someone's" seat. I told them to pound sand and they removed me from the seat and took it.It will be a cold day in @#$@# before I do anything with the Holland Steelheaders. Granted 95% + of the guys are probably great people, but no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Beyond Driven Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 No, quote some time ago. At the VFW when Willis gave a presentation - ~ 5 years or so.I go to a lot of GH meetings and have talked at SH and both are great. Sure Holland would be too if I tried again, but with long hours and little ones running around it's hard enough to get water time not to mention another night away from home.
