140 to 160 was our best both days.

So cool Manny. You guys put together a great box. Looking forward to doing more jigging soon.

What did the laker hit on?

Great report Brian and as always a great tournament. We were inside as well both days. Saturdays fog was definitely interesting. From what I heard off the Oak it was fairly chaotic. Some big fish around this year, looking forward to the rest of the season.

Great tournament. Lots of great people, great time had by all. I look forward to it every year.

I have run Whalers for 35 years. Highly recommend.

We had a nice Atlantic as well today.

That’s a great job!

It’s always something.

Pretty fish! You’ve been doing very well. Great job!

Proving the blind squirrel theory is indeed fact!

It started rough, calmed down and then got rough again. Funky how all of a sudden the fleas disappeared. .

That’s fantastic! What a day.

Had the pleasure of going out with Coyote K this morning. We do a lot of coyote hunting every winter but today was our first time fishing together. Had a great day and a lot of laughs. worked 80 to 150!and fishing was a little slow but we ended up three for four. Best fish was a feisty 23lb King.

That’s been the case for me also recently. I swear I’m bouncing lures off their heads. Didn’t mark the one we caught today.

If weather is favorable for the fall Loc I think you might see a 40.

Didn’t get out this morning. Rainy and had chores to do. Mid day asked my wife if she wanted to go but she didn’t. Texted a few buddies and they couldn’t go either. Oh well. Wife changed her mind but had plans at 4 which gave us an hour or so to fish. We’ve been chasing nothing but browns for weeks and that was our plan. As we got to the lake it was blowing hard and capped up. We got on plane and I was about to turn around but decided to run west to the nose and troll back downhill. Set up in 60 and half an hour later no hits. Decided to slide out to 70 and drop the lures down. Was about to clear and the deep rigger at 60 pulling a Dreamweaver standard Two Face Glow from Rt 18 Tackle got crushed. Fish fought hard and stayed deep allowing us to clear the other rigger and two divers. Wasn’t sure what it weighed because the boat was bouncing a lot but knew it was over 26 so made the trip to Captains Cove. Fish weighed 28lbs 7 ounces.

This will mix things up a little. Probably blow a bunch of warm water in. Should make for an interesting weekend.
