St. Joseph 4-7-11 Coho and King!

[scgibby11]

We also go out around 8am yesterday 4-7-11.

It was slower than 6 days ago, but we still took 9 coho and 1 NICE 13 pound king. He put up a nice fight.

We got not one single hit on the boards. All came on torpedoes, dipseys, and 1 on a rigger.

Best lures: Brads (firetiger, copper, copper w/pink). Some came on peanut flies, and one coho on a green spoon.

The king hit a Brad's copper with pink on a dipsey, setting 1, out 35 feet.

Water is warming. About 43 around the river plume, but much south of there, gets back to 39.

Thanks for the report. What size dipsy are you running?

[scgibby11]

I always forget the numbers of the dipseys, but I think it is a size one. They are not the magnums, but they are the regular ones I use for deeper applications. I even left the ring on them.

They seem to be hitting like that, so I just left them and haven't bothered with other sizes or removing the ring for shallow applications.

Hits were both on superline high dipsies and low wire set-ups.
