Went out early to try out the new LED Spreader lights, I think I got a sunburn before the sun came up. Set up around 50FOW, first hit came at 60 FOW, Green and white Paddle, Green and White fly made by Charger, 45 down on the rigger, 14LB king. Went out a bit, came back through the 60FOW and picked up another 14LB king on the same exact set up. Worked the area for awhile, no more takers. Worked out and back, trying to find the fish with no luck. Fog was pretty thick, a Sail boat tried to run us and the boards over, so I had to get on it to get out of the way. While trying to get all the dipsy's reset, a Blue and white Moonshine with black ladder back went on a rigger down 25' By the time I grabbed the rod the fish was 4 feet out of the water. Big steelhead are fun, 12LB, he put on quite a show. Had one other hit on a blue and white meat rig down 35'. Not the hottest action we have ever seen, but the fish were good sized. Did I mention I hate Sail boats?

I right with ya on the sailboats...Another great reason to get your captains license...They don't have right of way over commercial vessels...Great job on the fish.

Nice job on the kings Dan. Which Led spreaders did you go with, I would like to upgrade mine.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that having a captains license doesn't give you any right of way over sail boats when their under sail power.

the kind of fishing we do isn't considered commercial fishing..we are all considered power driven..even commercial fishing unless they are gear out (then considerd restricted in ability to maneuver) have to yield to sailboats unless theyre engine is running then theyre considered power driven also

DARN....I've going to have to get out the scuba diving buoy.

I ordered Genssi lights off of eBay. It looks good and throws a ton of light. 72watt I believe. Pretty happy with them.
