1st King of the year! 7-3-15

[LongLine]

You got’ta be Kidding me! 

 

Over 150 FOW – long lead on the rigg’r & he jumped…otherwise he would have gotten dragged for a mile or so.

 

Anyways, launched fairly early at the river.  Launch is really nice.  3 lanes open.  Clear and calm.  Very slight S wind.  River had a good current in it.  Dredge barge parked in the middle of the river just N of CG station. Another tied up, just inside the Summerville pier.  River surface 66F.

 

 

Took a left at the mouth and went out to 75FOW to put in.  Surface early was 54F but warmed to 59 by trips end  Worked my way out to 250FOW.  Saw a couple small bait pods, but not much else.  Currents strong and temps “goofy.† Very unsettled water.  Lots of small flotsam in the water, at all depths.  No sign of fleas.

 

Took 1 small bow at 175 FOW working my way back in.  Surface line with a Wonderbread Bomber & 2 oz keel at 2 ¾ down speed.

 

Wind came out of north around 11:15, so called it quits.  Quite a few trailers in the lot, mostly non-fishermen though.  Felt good to be back out on the water.  Maybe again Sunday.

 

Luck to all,

Camping at Hamilin this weekend. Took out a JY from the big G and his son. Tons of bait and few fish in 80 to 120 FOW off Sandy. Took three small kings and nice Laker (55-75 Down). Then washed lures for an hour and half. Called it quits a 10:30. Didn't see much going on that was the story from everyone we talked with a the ramp.
