Pentwater 7/11 PM 6 for 8

[Mega Byte]

2 coho, 2 lakers, 1 smaller king and 1 Stealhead. Everything was 6 to 8 pounds except the steelhead which was 10. Early fish were in 150ish FOW. Later fish were 180 to 200.

 

Lost a big king with a split ring failure. That king was on a 250 Cu with a NBK.

 

The other miss was on a blue jeans high diver out 150. I'm thinking it was a coho based on the hit.

 

High diver with a small mountain dew paddle and double aqua fly took a laker and a coho. One at 150 ft out. The other as we were resetting it and only 50 ft had come off.

 

The rigger took a coho and king down 56 ft with a big white paddle and pickled sunshine fly.

 

One laker came on a white 8" spindoctor with a bloody nose big eye fly.

 

The steelhead hit on a wire diver. Can't recall the lure or depth, but I know it was a spoon.

 

Orange crush on the 100 Cu was ignored. So was Kevin's girlfriend spindoctor meat rig one the wire diver. That's been ignored the last 2 trips.

A split ring failure is indeed rare.  Had that happen one time as well.  NBK is a 'Go To' spoon.  Three years ago Killer Blue was the ticket on the business end of a SWR.  Not the "Go To' lure since 2018.  Happy to read the action was good in Pentwater.

That spoon has seen some #$@#

Appreciate your detailed reports Megabyte! Had a similar split ring failure last season. Hard to believe but somehow it happens.
