Our LOC

[HB2]

Finally after all these years got a derby dock at Wilson 

 

Had high expectations . It was a Humbling , frustrating , and disappointing time . But spent quality time with my son . 

 

We fished 6 days , a few till 1 , some shorter because of weather .

 

Spent most of the time 4 to 8 miles west 45 to 75 ft. Marked fish and bait sporadically. 

 

Day 1 1 hit . We were not in good water . 

 

Day 2 ran farther west and found good green water . Boated 6 with a 17# king best 

 

Day 3  Lost 2 

Day 4 and 5. No hits 

 

Day. 6 no hits , blown off 

 

Got a few takes on a flasher and my rig. A few takes on  spoons . Best was an old school GFR J13 on a small slide diver . 100 lead , 100 to 150 back. I figure it was down 20 to 30 ft. 

 

Went out to deep water yesterday . Saw fish , no hits.  Did not see hardly any nets flying . 

 

There was a time I would skunk , then run to the tackle shop and drop 50$ . I accept it now . The fish were there but didn't want what I had . I was not good enough to get them . 

It got to the point where I didn't know what to put down next . Then I read Yankees post . He had  a hard time so where does that leave me .

 

Summer derby next !

[Dances with Fish]

That's the way it goes sometimes.    I think its alarming that only 2 brown trout were entered.

Fished with a Buddy from Ohio on Monday and Tuesday after the derby. Went 5 for 8 and 3 for 5 those 2  days. Nothing bigger than 10 lbs. Fished out of Wison. Fair amount of boats out on Monday,  but only a few on Tues.Seen a few nets busy, mostly Coho's. Did not mark a lot of fish or bait so kept lines higher. Kings and 1 Atlantic all came at 27 and 31 ft down over 120 to 185 FOW. We did have 1 screamer hit at 60 down but never got that fish. That was the only fish that hit deeper that 31. Most fish came on Blue Dolphin. Chatter was fish were stacked up on Canadian side. the East winds several days before I'm sure impacted the fishing. A couple of weeks to settle down should be a bonanza out their, if not, like the post about so few Browns entered, it will be alarming.
