Yankee @ the Oak August 20/21


Recommended Posts

August 20th:

Our guys today drove in from Maryland. Some of them are new, and others have fished with us in the past. We left the dock around 5:15am and headed offshore to the 31N line a little East of Port. The bite seemed to get better as the day wore on, and our catch was 2:1 Salmon vs. Steelhead.
 
A-TOM-MIK meat behind poka dot pattern flashers were good on 175' divers and 80' Cannon Downriggers. Our best spoon was a UV Apple Seed on a 65-75' Cannon Downrigger. Other lure mentions for today are an A-TOM-MIK Stud fly behind a 10" White DW Spin Doctor, A-TOM-MIK UV 190 behind a chrome Mountain Dew flasher, and early in the morning a DW Gold Sea Sick Waddler.

August 21st:
The Maryland group was back out with us this morning. Mother nature kept us on the inside scrounging around for a lucky bite until 7am because of passing thunderstorms. Once the radar cleared we picked up our gear and ran offshore to the 30N line. We were met with 2-4' waves which offered great lure action. The lake would eventually calm down throughout the day and the sun made its appearance.
 
On the set up the 300' A-TOM-MIK copper pulling a Wonderbread spoon would take our biggest Salmon of the day around 23lbs. That spoon and presentation would go on to take a couple more shots. The other 300' A-TOM-MIK copper was loaded with a DW Lucky Charms cut plug. That was good for four nibbles throughout the day. A-TOM-MIK meat, a BAM fly behind a Hammertime flasher, and UV NBK were other lures that took fish for us. The 30-32N line dried up late morning so we pushed it North. We ended up finding good screens on our Humminbird's, and cooperative fish on the 34.5-35N line.

 Great pics. Sounds like a good couple of days. How deep is the water at the 34 line? We've been fishing out to about 300' off I-Bay the last couple of trips with some success but no big fish.

 

Over 600'
