R-turn Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Got out today to test the boat. Had maintenance done to replace the ignition sensor. Last time out I had to limped in at 6 mph. At least I did not have to paddle. Fished from 9:30am to 12:30. Water was flat and the surface temp was 77 degrees. The water changed to 52 degrees at 55 feet down in 75 FOW. Fished from 70 to 80 FOW marking alot of fish. However, we ended up with only one bite, a 8 lb king on a dipsey set at 3 with a 140ft of line out. No bites on the riggers and did not see one net out. At the dock people were cleaning perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I hear you on the limping in at 6mph. I limped in on one engine a week and a half ago. It took me 1hr and 15 minutes to travel 8 miles. Was the diver bite on a spinner and fly combo or a spoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
