Boltman Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 We Finally we able to Fish in the New Boat, Trolling valves are in, only 1 works for now, having electronic difficulties...Went out to early in the evening at 6 pm, rode some large waves and finally set up in 165FOW...Nothing we trolled for about 2 hours north and south, we were marking a few but nothing until 125 FOW, About 9 pm the screen lite up and well We went 1 for 3, two nice kings, one got away went it got hit by the net....oopps One hit hard and tore apart the swivel, lost a nice spoon....We landed a nice king, don't know how big though it was just a nice FISH....I'll add a pic as soon as I can get photobucket to load in this sloooooooow laptop...
Boltman Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Ok Here's a pic finally uploaded to the bucket,,, It's not much but after 2 years of not being able to fish, it's everything... it's like catching a monster...
sslopok Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Congrats! Bet you couldn't wipe the smile off your face all day. Hopefully it was worth the wait.
Boltman Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Yes it was worth it, it will be better when I can have the wife bring one or many in...But it felt so good to feel that fish tug at that line.
danthebuilder Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Good to hear you're back to help control the salmon population!
sjk984 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Sweeet first fish...We were out of whitehall all last week.Our best depth in the am was 80-90 and 50-70 down on the riggers and 125&150 back on the divers..Afternoon trips we started deep but didnt get a thing till we trolled back in to 90-80..Also out if 48 fish last week only 1 came on a spoon. Everything else was on a11" white paddle and blue/green fly. And blue spin dr and blue fly.
Just Hook'n Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Glad you were able to get out in the new boat. You can probably fish in worse conditions than most of us on this site if you wanted to.Can't wait to see that huge beast out there fishing.
fishsniffer Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 nicely done sir..good to see you out again:thumb:
Boltman Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 I fish with my wife, who doesn't like anything over 3 foot waves, anything bigger and she's on the Dock, can't blame her though...as for help the salmon population, I've seen seagulls catch more fish than we have ever......I'm hoping it will get better for us, meaning trolling on both engines and having better luck at catch, not just cleaning the fishing gear....
