Niagar Bar 9/1, 9/2

[Storm Warning II]

Fished the weekend out of Y-town.

9/1 Got out in the dark and was greeted by stiff 2 to 4 roll/chop and headed east as we believed fish to be staging in the plume. Worked west from 65 fow out to 120 fow with one shaker coming on a J plug a few feet off the bottom. Saw a group of 3 boats working hard west of the can so we meandered that way. Steady pick from 8:30 to about 11:30 from 120 to 200 fow, 50 degrees down 85. Lots of Kings in a variety of sizes and 1 small steelie. 4/4 on majors all on Mt. Dew spinnies and green / glow Action flies on braid dipsys 3.5 setting, 225 out. Biggest King was 22#. All majors were taken out of temp, that braid set was down about 62 feet. Slammed teenagers consistently on white Opti dodger w/ blue bubble glow Action fly down 85 on rigger. Deeper sets yielded only a couple teenagers and many shakers.

Sunday 9/2: MUCH NICER LAKE. Fished same marks as Saturday only much slower fishing. Took 10 shakers from daybreak till 2:30 pm. Got one 8# laker on white Opti Dodger / Blue Bubble Glow fly, Had 4 big rips on Mt. Dew Spinny / Green, Glow Action fly set, Had another Mt. Dew Spinny / Green Krinkle fly on the braid set on the exact same setting on opposite side of the boat...nada. Only landed one of the 4 rips (blew our perfect streak) Ran wire divers with White/white glow spinnies and Hammer fly, nada, ran wire divers with white/pearl spinnies and Blue bubble flies, nada. Only rips I got on wire diver was with Mag Watermelon Holo NK, lost it too. Really expected to SLAM them Sunday after we thought we had a program dialed in on Saturday. Oh well, that's why they call it fishing, not catching.
