7/12 pm Port Sheldon

[Nailer]

My cousin, myself, and my son made the evening trip to Port Sheldon last night.

We went out to 190', set up on a west troll. made a turn north at 122' stayed in that range till the sun hit the water. The black and white kitty was purring pretty loud in the cooler. We switched every thing over to the glow program and headed East. We finely hit a nice 12 pound king (an hour after dark) in 120' off the wire diver back 100' with a white/glow/ spinner and a Big Weenie glow fly. We had one more fish on a Moonshine Night Crawler that came off. Our string of one fish trips is up to 3 now:confused: We ran a spread of; 2 corner riggers with spoons/and fixed sliders, 2 out riggers with flasher/fly rigs, 2 wire divers with flasher/flys, 1 300 copper of a board, and 1 full core off a board. The water flees where not an issue last night but the ankel biters where keeping us busy.

Thanks for the report. No doubt morning storms had a factor in the slow bite.

Team Hollandpiper was also out last night - Alex, Randy, Dave, & Eric. We started out shallower @ 7:00 p.m. Our 1st (only) fish came before we had a 8 rod spread set up. 14# King on a White Spinnie & Green Fly on Wire Mag Dipsie - 120 back in 93 FOW. That was the highlight of the night, which took us as deep as ~150 FOW and as shallow as 55 FOW.

Shortly after the 1st fish, we had the left rigger fire @ 73' down - this was a fair size King which took a couple of jumps out of the water and spit the hook!?!?!

Much later, while heading back east, the right rigger fired - also set deep, with my favorite all time lure - magnum Michael Jackson. This fish kept on going & going, then the reel malfunctioned!?!?!? We tried to tire the fish, to hand-line or thumb drag it in, and it broke off?!?!?!

Pulled lines ~11:30 p.m., saw Nailer @ the dock, and sulked home.

BTW, the waves built to ~3 foot rollers and are certainly nasty today!?!?
