Plugs Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Went out at 4:30 with the rain quitting as we set up in 120 and fish on the graph. Nice night on the water ending up 6 for 8. 2 steelies, 3 kings and a Laker that was returned. Fish were in 125 FOW of water and deep - we had one rigger down 135 and the other at 100. Fish seemed to like Purple as Purple Nurple and Rasberry Dolphin each took multiple hits with one on a Glow Yellowtail on a 150 copper. We slid out to 160 for a bit and got a couple hits out there, but the graph was not as consistent. Got a freind his first 2 big lake fish and he was all smiles after the second one gave him some fun at the back of the boat.
DocPaul Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Great work, always fun getting a new guy hooked up.
BenLubbs Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Nice job Shane. We weren't formally introduced, but I was the other guy at the fish cleaning station. Thanks again for the tip on the purple.
Plugs Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks guys.Ben - I'm sure we will run into eachother again, I was to busy shooting the breeze and letting the other guys clean fish;)Did you hear us on the radio about the purple and did it work out?
BenLubbs Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 we heard you and switched a couple rods. a purple and yellow silver streak on the 7 color did end up taking a nice steelhead
Plugs Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 Glad the tip helped. I don't think I have ever caught a steelie on a purple lure - always seems to be white, blue and orange. Still learning how those fishies think:grin:
