Drop in 100 and troll north west. Riggers 50 to 70.
150 to 250 should produce.
If the local charter boats are concentrated in a certain area that could be worth a look as well!
Stay out of clear water. If you have clear water on shore move out and fish Kings from 150 to 300. Coho and some steelies should hit top 50, Kings down 50 to 70.
Weird day on the water. Set up in 100 at 8 and headed north. Riggers at 50 and 70 with free sliders. Dipsys at 180 and 225. Flat calm and sunny at first with a steady pick of coho and small kings on the sliders. 225 dipsy takes off and by the time we landed a nice King we were in pea soup fog with east wind. An hour later the fog lifted thankfully, I hate fog.
Sun came back out and it got flat again.
Little while later you could see that on shore it was rippled up good and moving our way out in 225 feet of water. Decided to pull and we headed into gusts to 30 out of the southwest.
Fished from 8 to 11 and went 6 for 7.
All small except for the King that hit the two face glow on the dipsy.
Mine is safely stored when not under water. Always have had great service from them and love the product but they should be taking more responsibility for what is an obvious product issue.
Wish my experience this time mirrored yours. I’ve run Fish Hawks for over 25 years, their customer service has always been second to none.
This time instead of “how can we help?” it’s more like “nothing we can do, can’t be fixed, buy a new one”.
