Well the good news is that we had some vicious Dipsy hits this weekend.  The bad news of course is that the rod holder wasn't up to the challenge.   I was looking at the Big Jon Ratcheting holder . Anyone run them or have other thoughts for a dipsy rod holder?

Thanks!

out again this morning 5 -9.  220 - 255 showed heavy bait and lots of hooks .  Very frustrating day in that we only boated 1 for 11.  Great action but the tackle Gods won the battle today.  
 

all FF bite today.   between 65 - 110'down  over 240ish

dipseys w FF at 290 took multiple rips.

spoons cold all morning

Kids didn't handle to east wind too well so in early.  

Out this am with bunch of kids. 2 for 6 with lots of oooops moments . Lol 8 and 13 # kings. 250-275 fow was our best area. Two large kings came unbuttoned on dipsey FF.

Carbon 14, meat and dipsey / FF did all the work. Dipseys out 290 and 300

Then the chumming began and we headed for port. 42 degrees down 120 over 250.

That's great. Never thought of that approach but need to try it. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!

Great reports, thanks and great job

reminds me of my prom date

Dan,

     Love the videos!  Awesome.

I saw on one of the first videos that you released a fish by trailing it behind the boat on some sort of a rope.  That looked really slick.  Could you share how you do that ?  We have been struggling with release techniques.  We pretty much release everything but want to make sure the fish survives to fight another day.  Thanks for any guidance on your techniques.

Thanks capt, appreciate it!!!

Garrymny-    Definitely is a learning curve.  Keep in mind that you must be doing something right if you have caught fish.  Your biggest problem may be current.  You could be in the sweet spot heading NW, then turn around and head SE and you may be 2 mph different at your lure.

Just do your best to replicate what you are doing when your rod fires.  Keep a log.

One other piece of advice...save your change and buy down speed unit - Complete Game changer.  And yes, this is a very expensive hobby LOL

Good luck

sweet.  We will be up there Sat & sun well.  Tight lines!

Sounds like you are doing alright for yourself!! Way to go

Running meat in our spread in the ice water has been our biggest producer this yr and last of mature kings

Thanks for the report.  Did you use meat at all?

coming up this weekend again.  Three weeks ago, meat was hot.  Anyone still doing any good with it?

nice day!!   thanks for the report

Trolling Fly usually trolled behind a spin doctor or flasher usually 20 -30 inches back.  NBK is a popular spoon (natural born killer)

I have also had luck in that situation by pegging the throttle for a couple of seconds.  A quick boost to 4 mph or so seems to get more hits .  I assume it is same as above in the fact that the bait is thought to be escaping

Great teport. Thank you and congrats again on huge solo run

I was out in front of the devils nose in 200 to 300 fow this weekend.  steady pick of fish   with the weather it probably will still be good. 

I gotta give you credit. I read about all these solo trips and am amazed. I'm a relative newbie (this is my 2nd yr) and was out this weekend with 4 guys. Big kings are a huge challenge to me even when I have three other sets of hands and you solo guys get it done alone. Amazed

Great job!!!!!

Fished Monday again same area. Ran mostly meat and spoons as FF seem to be slow. Ended up 8 for 12 with nice mix of fish. Biggest was 20 ish king. Temps were crazy. Most kings came deep around 120' over 250 fow off meat. Only one laker this trip but a good one at 19# moonshine blue flounder, nbk, geezer, and carbon 14 all did well for spoons. Cheaters also did well

Fished 5:30 to 12 out of oak Sunday. Dropped in 180' and headed N. First fish in 225 fow. Great day . Went 14 for 21. Lost one screamer. All fish landed were teenager kings and 6-10# steelies.

Meat Bite and spoons all day. Carbon 14 and geezer were studs
