Fairhaven 5/16

Hit the water at 9:15 AM and headed East to 65 FOW and set up Riggers w/ sliders, Dipsey Divers/Flashers/Spoons on a 2 setting out 150 and 85 followed by 2 rods of Deep Diving stickbaits back 65-100. Woked out to 125 and back. Concentrated on best screens 65-75 FOW. Temperatures ranged from 42*-46* with down temps not staying much more than 1.5* diff btwn surface and down temp. Had just one hit at  midday and it was a screamer hitting the Blackeyed Peas Dipsey/Flasher and DW Mag Glow Blackeyed Peas silver cup spoon. My son, Jordan, reeled in his PB 20 lbs Salmon, so the lack of action was more than made up with Quality. It was a "Where would you rather be than Right here, Right now!" moment when the fish jumped clear out of the water broadside at 150 yards gave us a glimpse of what we were in for. Cleared all the rods and riggers. Guided it hand lining the fish to the net. As called for it started to get snotty looking around 3-4 and packed it in.
