WELL ALL WEEK THE WEATHER MAN WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THE FORCAST BUT LATE ON FRIDAY WE MADE THE CALL LETS DO IT!!

WE HAD A FULL ARSONAL OF TACKLE FROM TROLLING BLUEFIN TO STREAM TROLLING AND BOTTOM FISHING/JIGGING.......

WELL WE ENDED UP BOTTOM FISHING DUE TO THE WARM WATER BEING SO FAR OFF.....

AS YOU WILL SEE THIS WAS A GOOD DECISION...........

STARTED AT THE GENTEMANLY HOUR OF 6AM WHERE WE WERE GREETED W/27deg AIR TEMP. WE BROKE ICE ALL THE WAY OUT OF PELLETIER CREEK!!
HAD TO WAIT UNTIL 7AM B/4 WE COULD GET GAS SO AT AROUND 715 WE BROKE THE INLET WE WERE GREETED WITH NEARLY FLAT CALM SEAS THAT ONLY GOT BETTER AS THE DAY WENT ON......WAO.....ALL THEWAY OUT AND ALL THE WAY HOME

FIRST STOP WAS THE 14..... 59-60deg WATER AND NOT MUCH ON THE MACHINE AND NOT MANY BITES WE DID FIND A FEW NEW SPOTS THAT I WILL BE CHECKING IN ON AGAIN!!!

PUSHED OFF FARTHER CHECKED A COUPLE MORE SPOTS NOT MUCH ACTION. GOT HE CALL FROM PONCE THAT THEY HAD ALL THE PULLAGE THEY COULD TAKE ON THE JACKS SO OFF WE GO TO THE SPOT WHERE THEY WERE.... WHAT THE HECK LETS AT LEAST HAVE SOME FUN!!!!
THE ACTION WAS FAST AND FURIOUS ON THE JACKS AND WE CAUGHT MANY PROBALLY 30 OR SO ALL RELEASED

TWO OF THE FISH WERE OVER 50LB AND ONE OF THOSE 2 WAS IN THE 75-80LB RANGE....BIG
WE FILMED THE FIGHT AND FILMED BRINGIN THAT FISH IN THE BOAT BUT IN THE EXCITMENT THE CAMERA WAS ON STANDBY!!!! WE NEED ONE MORE MAN TO VIDEO, WE DID GET SOME VIDEO AND I'LL BE WORKING TO GET IT POSTED UP!

WITH ONLY TWO OF US IT WAS A LITTLE HARRY IT TOOK BOTH OF US TO BRING THAT ONE IN THE BOAT!!
BY FAR THE BIGGEST FISH I HAVE CAUGHT TO DATE ON THE JIGS..


WE FOUND SOME REAL NICE MARKS CLOSE TO THE WRECK AND A NICE LITTLE TEMP BREAK MOVED THROUGH AFTER LUCH AND THE TEMP WENT UP A FULL DEGREEE. THIS IS WHEN WE GOT THIS GUY
