Nailer Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Steve, Jacob, myself all joined Jon aboard the Limo Sat Am. Set up in 80' and put strictly a big fish program down. The coppers where dead for the day, but the riggers, and divers where getting hammered. Spinnies and flies on all 6 targeting 40-60' down. We landed 6, and had three break our wire. These fish are absalutlly crushing the flies. Top 4 where 15, 16, 17, and 18 pounds. This one took a mountain Dew SD and Mirage fly set at 46' on the rigger. When she was done taking line on the first run, the counter read 450' 18.5 # Got in just before the rain. Thanks for having us Jon. Edited August 22, 2011 by Nailer
plumkrazy Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 nice job guy was great seeing you at the cleaning station
Hooked Up Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Way to go Ken & crew:thumb:Went out about a week ago, same thing --- flasher fly was the ticket...couldn't buy a bite on it all year prior to that.
Playin Hooky Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Nice job!How long of a lead between the ball and sp/fly was best?
Nailer Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Nice job!How long of a lead between the ball and sp/fly was best?Just 8-15' for us.Lower rigger will be set 8', and higher rigger will be about double that.11" white paddle/poofster or mirage fly on low rigger, and 8" SD on higher rigger.
In The Net Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 we have had some really nice rips on flys also but moonshine spoons have brought in alot of 20+# fish this year. We have caught at least 10 20+# out of ludinton this year. They are BIG this year. We have had like 5 straight trips with at least 1 20# in the box. We had three 20# in the box a couple weeks ago.
Playin Hooky Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks Ken! We're headed west in the early AM. Will throw the whole SD/Fly box at 'em! Haven't run them on riggers yet because the spoon bite was doing well.Eric
Nailer Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Also we where running 8-12' leads off our divers. This is a bit of a pain, you need to hand line the last 4-5', but it works.
