Frankfort 7/26 and 7/28

[Dutch mafia]

Fished Monday 6-9 and went 5/8 with a smaller steelhead, coho, 12.5 pound king, 21.5 king, and a personal best 28.5 beast. Fished 120-140 fow off point betsie just inside the pack. Temp was down at 80 fow but the fish came out of temp . Big king hit a mag moonshine crab face on a 200 copper and the other kings came on a mag ms green jeans down 65 on a rigger. Other fish came on a regular jj Mac free sliding above a mag ms ice shadow

Thanks for the report. I am wondering how you set up that free slider? Like a 4' leader clipped onto the main line?

Exactly. Four ft of mono with a swivel on each end clipped to the mainline . It will naturally fall about halfway down in the curve of the mainline . Adds an extra bait in the water without going against your rod count. The challenge is to reel in the slack quickly to catch up to the fish if it hits it as it’s sliding down to the main bait. I tend to loose about half of the fish that hit it. Seems coho and steelhead are fond of it but that’s probably because it’s running higher in the water column

Good to know. I'll give it a try. It's been years since I've used sliders. Kind of forgot about them. Thank you!
