Sandy 5/9

[13owhunter]

Dropped lines just before 8 in 30fow and caught a nice brown right out of the gate then not a whole lot for a half hour until we got out a little deeper.  Fished 70-90fow.  Lots of marks on my graphs.  We caught a lot of fish.  About half kings and half lakers.  Most kings were 6-8 pounds with a few bigger ones.  Biggest was about 16#.  Most fish came on #2 chinook divers on braid out 100 with a standard spoon.  Biggest came on a rigger with a mag spoon.  Usually fish a 6 rod spread but could really only keep 3 in the water. We had 4 or 5 doubles and a triple in a couple of hours.  Pulled some deep diving stick baits around for awhile and they didnt get bit.   How did everyone else do?  Lots of boats showed up a bit later in the morning.  Was a great first trip out for this guy.

We were East of the pack and it was a blood bath.  Tons of kings from 8-16lbs, lakers to 17 and change, 2 browns (both caught in 95’) and a big steelhead.  Hawks tackle Electric Funeral mag was on fire for us.

We slaughtered them as well, with well over 30 fish boated. Kings to ~16 lbs and a big laker, but most fish in that 8-12 lb range. At one point we cleared the deck with seven or eight rods and stupid grins on our faces. Spoons fished in the top 30 early; any deeper and it was lakerville. Chaos early turned into a steady pick later in the morning.

 

Today we fished for ~3 hrs in the <1ft chop lol. Got our a$$es handed to us a little bit, but not as bad as we've fished. Far fewer bites today. I think we went 8-11 but honestly didn't keep track. Just chillin' with a buddy I haven't seen in a long time.
