Sandy Fri Sat Sun

Went out early all days 

 

Thurs ..  temp super deep we fished 85 out to 285 , still deep . Said screw it and went to work at 730 

 

Fri . Temp still deep in close , Coyote K called me out to 380 . Did very well out there with kings , some big and steelhead 

 

Sat . Said to my son we drop probe at 100 ft and if temp came up we stay , otherwise offshore . Temp came up and we fished 100 to 150 and did very well . Mostly kings some big ones , a almost board brown . And nobody was in there . 

 

Sun went right to same area and kings were active  were . First 45 min couldn't keep rods in water . 

 

Got a bunch of fish all 3 days  with good action . Biggest kings were20# 

 

The Gary D rig was great and took half the hits , this morning almost all. Spoons did well also as usual with Carbons the best . 

 

I play around with lures and came up with something else to try behind a flasher . So a bit before we pulled lines this morning I put it out. I showed my son and he said I don't know what will hit it but it looks good . 10 min later , biggest king of day takes it . Put it back down and get another smaller one . Maybe I have the next big thing .

I'll buy your IP for $10. Naming rights for $5?

Actually,  I made something to use for Northern Pike in the ADKs last fall and it worked . I modified it a little to use behind a flasher , and it worked . At least it did today . Might not get anything else on it . 

 

In reality , these fish have the brain the size of a pea. They strike your lure from a conditioned response or out of anger . So if it looks good to them they will hit it if presented right. As soon as you come to that realization , you become a better fisherman . There is no silver bullet . There is no magic lure . It's not the arrow , it's the Indian .

Business I was in for 35 years was mostly Italians. They referred to me with my German, English roots as a Carp. 
pretty sure that was a term of endearment.
