Far Beyond Driven Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Had a rare day off from church, actually my first in over three years. Went to the blue water chapel at St. Joe except the water wasn't blue and it was cold.Sister boat ended up 6/6 with 5 coho and a small king. All we could manage was one 11" coho had we not been looking at the board when it hit - probably would have missed it as it was barely hooked.Skipped past the launch and trolled a flat I know, ended up making one short pass and got an 8# hen steelie, a 9# hen laker, and lost a smaller steelie. So after four hours on the lake in the cold we get in the shelter of the river and hook up three fish in 20 minutes. Weird.Fun day to be on the lake. Not every winter you can get out "twice" in February - I've had Augusts where I haven't been able to get out twice.

Far Beyond Driven Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 14' Sea Nymph, keel guard so I just run it up on the slab. Forgot that ramps get icy when rigs pull out - that first step wasn't cool.....

wild at heart Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 there best setup was a rigger 20 ft back. We were mostly running boards with 40 and 60 foot leads. theres just something about cohos and prop wash that works,

Far Beyond Driven Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Willy's Worm on a rigger in the prop wash.My WW's were at home, and the coho didn't want anything to do with a Wiggle Wart down the chute and two divers parked right off the sides.
