    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    We got a late start on the shakedown due to some technical difficulties. Ultra clear water and constant temp form Oklahoma Beach to Hedges. Straight minnow baits in various colors off the boards. No hot color. Took fish on neutrals, chartreuse and orange. Took one nice brown on a 3 color core with a green/silver flutter spoon. Generally fish were in good shape from 3 to 7 pounds. One fish had a small lamprey scare under its chin. Most of the activity was from Webster Park and East to the barge. Easterly troll was best, but two fish taken on a turn.

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    ;(

    Ran the normal package with no takers. 2 stacked riggers, Wire divers, spin doctors, NK mags, etc. Constant bait and fish from 70 - 85 fow 40 -60 down on both sides of the Genny, but no takers. An armada pounding the mouth wasn't knocking their socks off either. After the 4 day NW blow the temp is 68 -70 from the top to 120 fow. The impending East wind should cool things down a bit and may turn them on if you can get out the next few days.

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    8)8)8)

    A beautiful night on the Big "O" with Big Mike and the Blind Squirrel. We started out in 350 or so and had blanks all the way to 430' when the wire dipsey fired, about 280 out with the spinnie and fly. After about 30 minutes, the squirrel man finally boated a nasty king in the mid 20's. He is a bit out of practice after a long hiatus. We took a few bows 8-10 lbs in the same area, before Ben landed the king ! One on a 6 color and one on a 10 color core. Stinger with dots. Two other flurries produced several more bows on sliders. Later the riggers seemed to light up and the cores and copper went quiet. Big Ben managed a long range release on a brownie and then bagged another king about 7 lbs. Slim spoons in purple/silver & blue/silver & NBK. NE and NW trolls seemed better. We only saw decent bait at 350 & 475, with many fish near the pods. All of the fish were clean and the bows were especially fat and nice. All were deep sixed to fight another day. We never got below 56 on the down temp until we crossed 500fow. The NW blow for 4 days really piled up the warm water in shore.

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    Another beuatiful night in paradise ! We finally got the spoon bite going on the riggers. Deep rig was not doing it tonight. Down temp was 52 at 120 fow over 400 fow. A steady light East wind would help . Large bait pods starting in 330 fow with active fish on most over the 400 range. Wire diver once again took the biggest fish. Two kings in the low to mid-twenties. Three rainbows in the 8-12lb range. One long range release with a straightened out Sampo on the stacker. Time to go up to the next size up! N - S troll best once again. Only two other boats within a mile of us. No flurry at sunset last night.

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    Wire dipsey bite was hot. 225- 250 out. One rip on the 10 color with nobody home. Spoon bite was slower than normal with two long range releases !. Down temp was very deep. 47 deg. at 130 down with a wicked current. 58 deg at 80 fow over 400ft. Temp was really deep in close. The action lit up just before sundown. Nice bait with active fish on it from 330- 420 fow. N to S troll seemed to be the best for us. Only one other boat out deep West of us off the river. It might have been the boat with the hot Steely Dan set up. Beautiful night and sunset.

    Vintage Fish Hawk Units

    For Sale: Vintage Fish Hawks – Model 650A & 650-1. Here is a chance for you collectors, or if you have a unit that is missing a part, here is your chance to make a working unit. These are temperature only units. I have the meters (non-digital) and sending units for each. To my knowledge they are in working order. I also have two transducers (50hz), but last time I used the units they were sporadic, so I am unsure if they are working at all. I believe the transducers to be the culprits, but who knows? These are not supported by Fish Hawk Electronics any longer. All reasonable offers will be considered. Caveat emptor.

    8):yes: We blasted west from I-Bay for a change scenery and it was definitely the right move. The silvers were active out deeper this evening in 90-115 fow. Surface temp was 49-50 deg. at all depths. . We were able make all of the set-ups work tonight. We took two kings in the high teens to twenty lbs. on the dipseys. NBK and the habenero 28's on a two setting about 110-135 ft. out. Speed was 2.6-2.9. A NW troll direction seemed to be the best tonight. We took a nice "bow on a 4 color leadcore(the sea lion special) on a copper stinger off the boards. We took several more kings in the low teens. One off the rigger down about 40-50 ft. on a purple and silver NK-28 and the other off the dipsey(another NBK in Green). We did not mark many fish until we ranged out to 105 or deeper. The only set up that did not fire was a deep diver minnow bait off the boards. Nice calm seas and some smoking drags always are a nice way to end the week or start the weekend ! Venture off the beach boys ! We were the only boat out, as apparently everybody else headed to the Niagara Bar ! Stay an extra week up there if you can. We like the solitude ! Get out and catch a big one !

    For Sale: Bennett Standard Trim Tab Kit Part#189 18†x 9â€(without control switch?) I bought the whole mess a few years ago at the marina for $473 w/tax($589 at West Marine now!) and only needed the hydraulic pump. Included brand new in the box are the tabs, actuators, wiring harness, all mounting hardware and instructions. You need the hydraulic pump ($314) and rocker switch ($69) from West Marine for a complete installation. The first $150 cash takes it.
