BenLubbs Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Another phenomenal night on the water for us. A little lumpy and a little wet above the water but the fishing was great. Left the peirs at 6 and took our time motoring out to 90 FOW a little south. Started to set up and had or first fish on before we got 4 rods in the water. After that we got everything setup and kept on a 210 heading. Didn't turn around until a little after 8:15 when we wanted to get a little closer to home. Had steady action all night with most of our hits coming deep (70' +) and the majority on meat, although we did get a couple hits on a flasher/fly combo on the 300 and a couple on a Mag Green Dolphin on the rigger. Hi-light of the night was accidentally popping the rigger at the end of the night trying to adjust the depth and having our big fish (19.3) hit it as I was cranking it in, that really gets the blood flowing Ended up finishing 9 for 13 with a couple nice kings, a bunch of cookie cutters, and a decent laker. What worked SW troll at 2.1 SOG Chrome/Green 10" SD w/ green squid/uv head meat rig 70-95 down on rigger - HOT Mag green dolphin 70 down on rigger Green Slush 10" SD w/ green/uv meat rig 180 back on diver Green/yellow/chrome/white tape 8" protrol with mirage fly on 300 cu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Hook Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks for the info, Ben. I'll be heading out in a little while. Nice to know where to start with all the warm water that moved in since the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLubbs Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hey Ben - What depth did you do best at? ThanksI wouldn't say any depth really stood out, we were catching them all night. If I had to say it would probably be 110 - 125 is where most of our fish came but we were in that depth for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkbelt Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 We were out in the same water last night as well and I would agree, the fishing was outstanding. We picked up two right away, had a lull for 20 minutes, and then from 7:45 until dark it was a fire drill. For the last hour before dark we had a maximum of 4 lines in the water because each time we'd set one down it would get hit within 5 minutes. Many doubles and rods laying all over the boat. Luckily we lost minimal tackle. The final count was 15-23, many 10 lb fish but five being 14+. Don't forget to run meat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engfishman87 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Bkbelt/Brian,What depth were you in and what other lures was working best for you? I hope to repeat your night this evening and the meat will be in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
