Sheboygan 8/10 & 11

Here is my boats 2 day breakdown from fishing the derby out of sheboygan.

Saturday: started at 5am north of town in 45 to 70 ft targeting the 4 yr old kings that are beginning to stack up in this area. Went 2 for 4 by 8 am. They went 19 and 22 pds, and both hit j-plugs on a 5& 7color setup. We picked up and ran to 330 ft (11 miles) and went 7 for 9 by noon. 3 bows, 1laker, 1 coho,and 2 kings (2 yr olds). Best setup out there was 200 copper with a green and silver stinger spoon. Took 3 fish. Other 4 fish were on all different rigs. After coming back to weigh in we found out that boats in 400 ft

(14 miles) did even better!

Sunday: You guessed it, straight to 400ft at 5 am. (long run!) Setting lines at 5:45 am. The graph was loaded! 35 to 60 down was the zone, and the fish were active. We ended at 11 am going 13 for 17. 6 cohos, 2 lakers, 3 bows, 2 kings(1 3 yr old, 1 2 yr old) Best rig was a hammered silver dodger pulling a white tinsel howie fly. Ran a set on both sides off a 5 color and combined they caught 7 of the 13.

All the deep water fish were between 3 and 10 pds for both days. So the size of fish is close to shore, but the numbers of fish are out deep.
