PPLEPEU Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Celebrated the end of a great summer with a looong trip yesterday - the boat goes into storage today. The sunrise bite at the pierheads didn't result in any fish, so I thought I'd head out deep to see if I could find where the 2-3 year-olds are hiding. They have to be somewhere... I ran out to 220 and didn't mark any fish until 250+. Picked up a nice steelhead in 270 FOW, down 110 on a rigger on a dark green NBK spinny. Then a mid-size Laker hit on a 300 copper with a white/green frog spinny with a hypnotist fly. After that it was very slow, with occasional 1 year-old kings on spoons over the next few hours. I worked 260-280, reaching 19 miles off shore. Wound up 6 for 7, with a nice grouping of eaters. High setups didn't produce anything - there was bait suspended at 100 feet down, so I focused there. Hits were evenly split on flasher/fly and spoons; meat didn't produce and surprisingly neither did small orange spoons. I did get one small steely on a slider, but otherwise everything was deep. It was rough early (2-3 with occasional 4's), then it laid down and became one of the more beautiful days I've had on the water. Great way to end the season!
Fishrmac Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I am not sure of I fished a total of 18 miles all summer let alone that far out! Nice trip to end the season.
