S.H. 7-1 Evening

[mj6131]

Took a short evening cruise, ended up 3 for 4.

Set lines about 7:30 in 100', turned SE, as that was the nicest ride. Angled back to 80', nothing. Turned back out, saw a little twitch in rigger at 65', a shaker 20# laker? Released him, nothing else until just before the sun touched the water. At 100', rigger at 60', moonshine orange flounder, went off, 4# coho. Wire dipsey w/blue SD, Siggs fly, went, fish had a really bad attitude, tried to get to run, all it wanted to do were these really violent head shakes. As I got him close to the boat, looked to be an 8 to 10 king, I must have reeled the swivel into the top eye, and given him some leverage, he straightened the swivel out! Goodbye fish, $25.

60' rigger went soon after this, 5# king. I would have liked to have stayed out for some night fishing, but have an early doctor appt. tomorrow (bogus), but I'm 100% certain he's going to prescribe that I take the rest of the day off and go perch fishing. (excellent!)

Not a bad night at all. Nice job Mike. I like that shaker 20# laker!!! Dang!

[Just Hook'n]

NICE LAKER. that may have gone on the wall for me.

I'm trying to get one of every kind of salmon/trout, or at least the main 4 or 5.

It was probably really only 19, but, hey, I'm a fisherman...
