Got out at 6:10pm. Setup and trolled wsw, out to 140 fow with no action. As we were coming out we saw huge bait balls in 120 so we trolled back in. Got to 121 fow and the dipsy w no see um fly starts bouncing. Nice 13# king. Dad puts the fish in the box I reset the fly. It barely sits there for 2 mins and its going again, 15# king. Turn around to run back thru the bait ball. Just get straightened out and the 300 copper goes with wrecked em fly, a 6# laker. As I net the laker, my light line rig 80 down with a flounder pounder starts going with a 12# king. Twenty mins later, the copper starts screaming like crazy. This fish went nuts and ripped of 160 ft of line before it slowed down. I thought this fish was huge, turns out the drag was set really low oh well, it worked out ok, boated our 5th fish in 45 mins and nice 11# king. We finished 5 for 5 and headed in at 9:10.

6:10 - 8:14 = 75 flies 0 fish

8:15 - 8:58 = 5 fish ? flies

What a night!

Good job on the fish, And those Flies But I have done this 1/3 bleach +1/3 dish soap + 1/3 water windex spray bottle and spray inside of boat when you start getting flies on board, WARNING try not to get it on fabric, my boat is wash-down it so it's easier to deal with, but it Works most of the time.
