Aloha, Cornellius! The GT is a great fighting fish. i am glad you are very lucky to be out there in the beautiful Pacific ocean with your wife. Last May I spend two weeks fishing on my buddy's private charter, Five Star from the Kona Harbor on the Big Island. I agree with you about their tactics being are somewhat less aggressive as compared to the way we fish in our big pond. During the two weeks, we had a spotty results as compared to the other charter boat that was fishing with us. Some days we skunked and some days we got fish on including spearfish, tuna and blue marlin. As expensive as it can get, chartering is beyond reach for most of us including myself and not even many people could charter a boat for a week or more. I must add that spearfish is very unique to the Hawaii basin. It was a shame fishing the small spearfish on a heavy tackle. Be sure to eat the kalbi Ribs! Anthony

Its good to hear from you again with your awesome report. Boy, that big Atlantic is something to remember! Some would mount this Atlantic within this size range. At least you took a good picture! Tight lines! Anthony

Congratulations! Check my recent post and you will see my 13# Atlantic.

Awesome job out there Shawn! Best of luck on the future tournaments.

Oh my goodness, I forgot to include the important details. For today (Sunday the 30th) the hot colors were NK bright yellow and orange, yellow and green. Along with the cheaters, Evil Eye Black and Gold. As for last Thursday with overcast, the hot spoon were mostly green and yellow along with evil eye black and gold on the cheaters. They are set back 40' on the riggers over 30 to 45 FOW.

Photo of the mighty Atlantic Salmon. 13#. cannot begin without saying "What a great fishery we have in our backyard. " 7/27 Thursday. Perfect overcast with occasional rain. Motored to Braddocks Bay from I- Bay. Lo and behold fish are everywhere. In the shallow due to cold water inside. I was fishing with Captain Larry Hammond and we were focused on Brown trout. It was nearly all spoon bites off the riggers. We reeled in 15 browns and one Atlantic with 19 hits. On Saturday the 29th with the confusion of small craft advisory and constant wind report updates, i went out with my neighbor Rob. Browns are no where to be found in braddocks. Slid out to 100 fow by the Russell Station. The wave condition became gnarly. It was all flasher and fly bites off the riggers. We got nice king 20# that swam along the wall of wave next to the boat. It was an awesome sight to see the fish on top of the water column next to you. We went 3/4 before motoring back to port safely. Sunday the 30th. Last day of the derby. My boat stopped in front of the bay due to battery issue and I was able to turn on the kicker motor to get her going. We could only fish in front of the bay. Brown trouts were there to greet us. Lost more browns than what I wanted. My neighbor Rob keep on learning new things as he dropped the biggest Brown of the day. You can only text your friend fishing by taking him out there and let him try new things. Over time he will become your mate and help you land the beasts of your dream.! We ended with 9 browns out of 15 tries. It was so much fun watching Rob fight the fish. Be safe out there! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
