St. Joe 7/21/2013

[SUPERTRAMP]

Fished St Joe Sunday Morning, was worried that the fish had scattered after the blow, so we ran to my last way point and started south. Was not marking any fish or bait in 170 all the way out to 240, turned toward the beach and headed back in. We started marking the bait again in about 110 FOW, and had lots of action after that. We took hits on riggers down 85 and 95 with free sliders. All spoon action, and mostly on The Free Sliders, The catch was 2 Coho and ! steelhead landed. But we lost 9 fish, 1 that got cut off on the wire dipsey right behind the boat another the just came unbuttoned as we were about to net it, 1 broken swivel on a 300 Copper. Speed was 3.0 to 3.2 on the Fishawk, and water temp at 60' was 47 degrees. East West troll and West to East were the only direction we got hits. Kinda a sloppy early but laid down about 10 am. Baits that worked. Stinger Modified Coyote and Modified Blue dolphin. Match the hatch the magnum spoon never took a hit, and the fish were full of 2 to 3 inch alewives.

At least you had a lot of action to keep you busy.
