Just Hook'n Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Well, we fished the steelheaders event on Saturday as it was a catch 12 weigh 12 event and those are the kind we are trying to support. Fishing was awesome, but the waves were a little bumpy. FUNNY - this year we are complaining about 1-3ft waves. Last year we fished in slop all season. Guess we are just getting spoiled. We boxed our 12 and were headed home at about 9:30.two steelhead about 4-5 pounds which came on full core with a moonshine spoon with a single green ladderback on it.the rest were kings ranging from 6-14.5lbs. Our 12 weighed 96lbs and change so we did OK. This paddle color in 11" worked AWESOME. took hits on the chute, changed to meat down the chute and moved it to the corner rigger, took hits there too. http://www.gloutdoors.com/lj5140-000-0773.aspxDipseys were working all morning at 180 on 1.5 - mag dipseys on wire. 8" spinnies - mixed veg and yellow with green/blue/yellow flies behind them. 300 worked with a UV Blue Mango mag on it. It was a circus right away. First 15 minutes we went 2 for 4 and jumping all over the deck. After that it calmed down but we steadily picked away at them. Oh, we started out in 150fow straight out of Holland and went south to 175. pretty much stayed there the entire morning. Tried to go north for a while, but that SUCKED. did pick up one of our steelhead doing that, but we quickly turned back south and picked up our last 2 fish. Great morning with the team. Felt pretty good about boxing for the tourney and had a great time.
BIGTREBLE Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Nice job. That paddle color is called Lucky Charm. Great pattern for us in whitehall.
