Henderson Finger 7/21-7/22

7/21

Left sackets at 0530, started setting lines by 0630.  Started near the mountain and trolled into the waves towards west in 140-150 FOW.  Decent action on 18-22 lb kings and a few lakers from 0830 to 1030.  Action died after that.  Hits on meat, FF, and spoons.  Lost a screamer on a black/green pro king spoon on 87 foot rigger over 135.  Pretty sure he wouldve been our biggest, he ripped out to 400 feet on the line counter before I could even gain any line.  Lost him shortly after that.  220 and 242 mag wire dipsey on No. 2 setting and 100 and 87 foot riggers took all the shots.

 

7/22

Same game plan as day before.  Lost two really good rips on meat and FF divers out 200 and 220.  Broke another good fish on same black/green pk spoon.  Ended up landing a decent 19lber and a 5lb jack on moonshine bad toad 88 rigger.  Landed a few nice lakers too.  Had at least a dozen rigger knockoffs that never came tight on a meat market paddle/ pro am fly.  Headed back in around 1100.  

 

All in all, pretty decent weekend on the eastern side.  Wish we couldve boated a few more of the hookups we had on saturday, but thats kings for ya I guess.

Thanks for the report, great job! It's good to see the fishing picking up on our end of the lake for a change.

Forgot to mention, fleas were terrible on the diver wires. If left in the water for more than 10 minutes, the last 8-10 feet above the dipsey was just packed with fleas

Nice report, flies were horrible that's for sure. We fished today basically same thing and a pattern so close to your post I almost didn't report, only difference for us was mostly all spoon bites. Same thing on many knockoffs but ours were mostly on a 91' rigger, some on fixed stacker 20' above. Our mag dipsy hits were all spoons 165' #2. Couldn't keep lakers off moonshine bad toad so took it off, Green jeans and Mich stinger blue dolfin uv got the most hits. Our biggest king was on a 400 copper with a stinger mag size spoon. A great morning til the wind came up.
