tbutcher Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Started out frosty about 8:30am had to scrape the windshield of the grady white. dopped lines in 90fow spotted some birds and headed nw toward them to 120'fow. All hits were in about 120fow. Waves about 1' and slowly built to 2'-3' by 1pm. . First spoon Craigs flounder ironically uncle Craig's first fish of the day on rigger nice 10lb steelhead in 120fow . Then doctored moonshine(green jeans) took over had the next seven hits on copper lines landing two. Then on our way back in doctored moonshine took last fish while bringing in downrigger. we ended up 4for9 at 1pm. Couldn't ask for a better day. I was fortunate to get out and have such nice weather and spend some quality time with uncle craig.
Play Dough Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Is that a piece of red yarn on the hook? Is that done to all the spoons you were using or just the one that got hit 7 times?
Fishrmac Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Awesome afternoon! What coppers were they hitting on?
tbutcher Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Is that a piece of red yarn on the hook? Is that done to all the spoons you were using or just the one that got hit 7 times?It is actually synthetic hair my dad uses on streamers, saltwater flies or bucktail jigs. Its also called super hair. not sure where he got it but buying more. I have not caught a salmon on it yet but i bet they will like it. comes in 8" length and i have done 8 hooks and still have some left. we had four rods out and three of the four had the doctored moonshine with hair that went 8 times.
tbutcher Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Awesome afternoon! What coppers were they hitting on?The same 100 and 150 has been working great for weeks now. Both getting about the same amount of action. We had the two coppers and two downriggers and that was enough action for the two of us.
Fishrmac Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks for the reply. Might have to give it one more shot
