Solid big wave day today. Made it to 80 FOW and then caught this

Weighed 20# on the digital hand scale.

My buddy Steve caught it in the big waves.

Nuclear Purple has been the Spoon of the year

Temp is down 60 feet from 70 fow out to about 120.

i was out with you guy and got a nice steelie 85 down on carbon 14 and an atlantic down 130 on flasher fly off a rigger....

lots of stuff down way deep.  111 was temp break at 185 to 220.

Well, we didnt see it until it was almost underneath us.  caught both side down riggers and both wires, luckily we were able to stop and try and collect all our stuff.

The buoy is located almost at 150 FOW just north of the L crook out in front of webster.

The browns were sitting in pretty warm water. It was 72 on the surface and 67 down to the bottom. The fish hawk was only needed for the speed

Decided to take the boys out for browns. Shipbuilders 50 FOW purple and wonderbread. Went 4 for 4 . 6:30 to 8:00pm. Biggest bring 11#

Anthony, you would have been laughing at us back at the dock when the bag broke and the fish went back into the water. Had to climb in and feel around with our feet to find them, They weren't floating.

We set our sights at 150 to 180 and found deep kings. 70 down with purple or glow green worked

We ended up 5 for 5 , one 9# steelie and four kings all between 20 and 25#s

The bite dropped off for us too, that is why we headed east. It picked right back up around 250 Fow.

we started off the morning off Braddocks for a change and ended up in front of hedges....stayed out around 240 to 280 the whole time....  after all the hours me and my 11 year old ended 2 for 11.  he caught the two.   Steelie and a king.  I tried sharper hooks, shorter leads, longer leads, and praying but I could not keep a fish on the line.   PURPLE WAS THE COLOR TODAY.

exactly, why do they think I want the little ones?  

Set up at 6am and had four in by 7.  2 steelies in top 40 feet and two lakers bottom forty.  everyone is on the 85 - 105 FOW line.   Finished 7 for 7 last being 13.11 brown sitting at 17th.

Just me and my 13 year old nephew....he was tired after the last one... the deal is I rig and he catches.   That is until I teach him how to rig and then I am just the driver.

Well, we had one on the board for about three days....100 FOW to 140 FOW seem to be the best for watching marks on the screen......

my 14 YO nephew caught this 15.09 Laker on the wire

I made the mistake of trying to come out around 5PM. The lake was steady and we cruised out to 110 FOW and then the clouds came back. We bounced around in the waves for about an hour but they were really climbing to 3-5 range and we dropped two, so we called it. Good temp set up down 60 was 54. 70 was 48.

Try again today I guess

Pictures below are from Saturday with the kids out. Had a ball watching them pull in browns and then steelies.

It was fun to shadow you through the catch. Also fun to watch you try and help and watch the boat do a crazy Ivan. The kids on board of my boat enjoyed the ahow

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Lesson learned.....make sure you enter into the derby.

6 year hooks in to a monster, breaks the surface and looks to be a 10# or better steelhead. He lost and learned that sometimes the fish wins.

We had a steady pick of lakers, steelies and kings out to 220 and back.

The kids called it and wanted to catch browns , so we headed in late and caught two....one on lead the other on a slider DWB.

First was 10.5 on a hand scale, the second was 14.8 on the hand scale.

anyone have suggestions on where to get the big one mounted....I have it in the freezer....going to give it to the kids as a present...

I also took some pix of the boat we were next to for quite some time....he was fighting a fish right after we had one on....so we took pictures in case they wanted them....let me know if you can identify the boat.....

biggest was 12#

all were just about the same size...

"Larry Bird" 33 feet down was the magic number and 42 second spoon did all the killing

one hour 7 hits all Salmon

I had all 42 second spoons on all the poles, pulled the planers in to save on chaos

cant believe there is a small craft advisory from tonight on.....found the fish finally

We believe you. No pictures needed

I ran them this morning...one behind a paddle. Only fished in IBAY. They looked tremendous in the water....no fish though..

Steelhead fishing.....caught suckers...March 2012

Anyone heard of the Alabama Rig? Do you think it can be used for Lake O trout and salmon?
