SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Got on the water a little after 6am with showers along the shore. Had a 1' chop from the north along with 1-3' rollers from the west. Set-up over 65 fow and worked out. Hit a skippy king at 115 fow down 82 on the rigger on a glow frog. Worked the inside waters for a bit more with nothing doing and dininishing screen, so we worked out a bit deeper and hit a honey hole over 140 fow where we doubled up on kings (24 and 21 lbs), one on the 72 ft rigger on a chartruese echip w/ aqua hammer sushi fly, the other on the wire out 380' pulling a black with green dots spinny with a 42 second fly. Swung back around through that waypoint and hooked up again on the same wire and landed a 16 lb king. Swung through again and hit a 12 lb coho on the 72 ft rigger, same sushi rig. The the front passed and the wind really kicked up with the waves building to 4+ ft and we called it quits. On the way in we saw 2 really nice waterspouts to the east off of Fair haven.

I'm hoping to get out tomorrow if the lake calms back down...

Nice going Tim!

Were you straight out of the chute? Looks like I have to pick up some of those shushi flies!

Good fishing,

Jim

Nice Report Tim,

We experienced a similar cross chop on Sunday out of Hughes. Like fishing in a washing machine. Only the fishing wasn't as good for us as it was for you.
