SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

As usual drove thru the night and arrived pretty tired, much more

than usual. After a quick breakfast at Mimi's in Fulton we were a little

rejuvenated. Left the river and found most boats working 120-160' of water.

We set up there listening to how most boats would pay to have a skippy hit.

1/2hr after setting up my probe stops working. Also note it needed tone wet

again for it to work…thought I had that solved. Since it was slow we made the call to pull and see if we could find a replacement for the Cannon POS. luckily

We found Woodys had an X4 in stock. I bought it and installed it in the afternoon.

Next morning my nephew arrived to join us and we launched again. It was pretty rough but we made it out and set up over100. We ran 2 riggers and 3 dipseys to keep it simple. The X4 wasn't reading correctly. We found out if we ran on the kicked it didn't work but on the main engine it did. So I think I need to move the location of the ducer. Anyway back to fishing. Our first rip was on the dipseys out

300 with a free dot/hammer. Nephew dropped him after a huge run. This was the only lure to take a hit all morning. Next rip same rod nephew drops again… ok his first time out here so he needs to figure it out lol. After two more dropped fish on the same rod we discover one of the hooks bent out. Fix that and redeploy

Then the rigger at 90 fires and Ed lands a 17 lb king. Same lure fly combo.

Then the dipsey fires again, forgot to mention we are working water 300 +\-

Will lands a 28.5 lb King. Then my turn landing a 21 lb king. We troll from 11 to 4 without moving another rod. Then we start catching more fish in 150-120' of water. Hot lures for the afternoon were same as the morning and a paddle with hammer fly. I can't remember the name of the paddle color. I know it was hot last yr and that is why I bought it. It's a yellowish color. I'd post picks but only have my phone to work with. I'm not too Davy using it fully.

We left the fish biting at 7 pm so we could hit the cleaning station.

We should have gone this morning but thought there were going to be thunder storms, so far nothing and the wind is fish able from the south right now… bad call on our part.

I'll try to post as I get a chance.

Nice report, and thanks. I have heard that sometimes the spark plugs can mess with your prob you might want to try a differnt kind before relocating it.
