Racine 7-29/30-11 HOT! HOT! HOT!

[killerbe20]

Racine fishing has finally started to heat up! Great mixed bag catching everything except browns. The steelhead and cohos are big and feisty and we are finally seeing good numbers of three and four year old kings.

Friday 7-29, left the dock at 4pm and were back about 830pm with a four man limit, threw 3 back and lost another 5. Fished 75-100 fow just south of town. Mostly 3 and 4 year old kings with some nice cohos and steelheads mixed in. Fish literally came from the top to the bottom. Blood Run wire divers were the best 90,140,200. Down riggers (49,59,69), coppers (32lb-150,250, 45lb-300) and leadcore (3,5,7,10) were catching their share of fish too. A few fish on spoons, but the vast majority were on spin doctors and flies.

Great Job Josh! Out of curiosity, what leader length are you running your flies at? I haven't caught anything on a f/f setup in two weeks.

I was running them at 30" but lately I have been doing 27-28" hook bottom to loop end. Don't know if the fishing has gotten that much better or if changing my lead length has helped. I have also slowed my trolling speed down from last year to this year so that would also correlate to a shorter lead length.

Where are you getting your blood run spinnies? Those look really good but can't find them anywhere.

The Blood Run spinnies can be purchased right through their Tackle Store website accessed at the top of this link:

Very good Josh!

Awesome! I'm really jealous, our fishing still sucks in Milwaukee. Anyone want to buy a boat.

I hear ya, man! Even down here a couple miles can mean the difference between a "zero or a hero." East and north of town is OK fishing but seems like farther south is a ton better. Until last weekend trout fishing was helping to make my trips respectable. Nice to have that pit in your stomach gone, at least for now.

Glad to hear that its getting better, we had our fishin today and a lot of guys did next to nothing , but the ones that did good did really good. Largest fish turned out to be 23lbs . It looked like it was time for spawing it was so dark. We did ok , nothing big .

Send some this way.
