Chasing Chrome Offshore Classic 6/30

Jeremy Goodison · July 2, 2018

We competed the offshore classic Saturday and the event and fishing were perfect. Friday after work I pre fished solo by Sandy Creek. Hopes was if I could find good temp and Majors that’s where I’ll fish. I knew most boats wouldn’t make that long of a run , leaving us to much less hassle with boat traffic. I dropped in 60 fow and bait and hooks were there. I fished it 1 hr but midday and high sun it wasn’t happening. So I pointed north and in 140fow I took my first fish , nice 12lb king. I kept in the north troll and in 200fow the temp break was fast and my diver took off screaming. Boated a nice 20lb and by now I was in 240fow. Spun right around and once I hit that 200 mark all hell broke loose. Both divers took off one with a major the other with a smaller fish. I grabbed the big guy and two riggers fired, another major on. After twenty min two over 20lb , steelhead, and small king hit the deck. So the game plan was set.
Saturday morning we shot right back to that inside water and the fish were in the feed. We took allot of shots with a 21lb in the mix. At 9am the bite slowed and we headed to the 200 mark. With no delay the rods starting moving doing another pair over 20 and a light major at 17lb. We fished the area till 11 when the winds shifted and the bite slowed down. We had 3 over 20lb, 17l, and a 9lb to upgrade. We were sitting pretty and deciddd to shoot to Braddocks to grind out the last hrs. For 2 hrs we picked at em boating a handful never able to get our upgrade. In the end we finished 14th out of 47 boats. Truely an awesome experience to compete and a great charity benefited.
