BenLubbs Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Sorry for the late report, I was a little lacking in the sleep department and had to do some catching up Friday night headed out with a couple friends and Corralee on the boat. Hit the water about 6:00 and started in 80ft a little North of Spyglass. Started out pretty slow. First fish came in about 120ft, steelhead that came on a 10 color with SS UV Blue Dolphin Mag. We sat and waited for a while longer, then got a laker on a mixed veggie SD 80 back on the wire. At sunset we had a nice flurry of action in ~95FOW and ended up with 3 kings in the boat and one that we missed, coming on an 11" white paddle with proctologist fly 80ft down, the 10 color w/ Blue Dolphin, 7 color with Green Flounder Pounder, and lost the one on the 5 color with UV mixed veggies. It was an awesome night on the water, even if the fishing was a little on the slow side. Saturday morning made the trek down to South Haven to fish the WMFL event. We started North of the piers in 80 FOW on a NNW troll. Before we had all our lines out we had our first fish in the box, a nice king on the 5 color with UV Mixed Veggies. We kept on the same troll and hit a double, one on the Mixed Veggies SD 80 back and the other on the 10 color with UV Blue Dolphin. Both were kings, one of them our biggest at 17.1 lbs. We turned around and followed our line back to where we started, picking up one more healthy king along the way on 5 color again. We tried the same line one more time but the fish had move on and we weren't able to find them again. We spent the rest of the day meandering here and there picking away at the fish. Ended up 12 for 15, 6 kings, 1 small steely, and 5 lakers, 3 of which were released, with a bunch more releases that didn't hook up. Other stuff that took fish were: 3 color with SS Maragrita Jr. 7 color with Regular Carmel Dolphin. \ Rigger 70-120 down with 11" white paddle and protologist fly Diver 130 back with Chrome Frog SD and Green glow meat rig 250 copper with BLL Patriot We ended up taking Big Fish and 1st place in the WMFL event. A special thanks to Morgan's Tackle for sponsoring the event.
SeaCatMich Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Nice. Might not have been fast and furious, but still good fishing. Congratulations on the tournament win.
