hit winni yesterday, meredith and welch/diamond/rattlesnake areas. with the help of slipknot, finally landed some salmon. the day's total was 7 salmon (2 or 3 nice ones, some yearlings and little guys), 2 decent rainbows, 2 lakers and 1 smallie. most were on the lead core rods w/ planer boards, a few on the riggers. 6-7 colors, 30-40 on the riggers. various colors of db's and "craig specials". it sure was nice to have some action for a change! i'm used to getting skunked. nice weather, good fishin, and good company. and a bit of a sun burn to boot. thanks for coming out craig, we'll have to do it again.
My pleasure, Derek. I had a great time.
You forgot to mention the big one you had on but we never saw. Would have been nice to at least see that one. Most likely a nice laker...
Orange with black dot db smelt and the white with red dot "craig specials" (similar to a top gun) were the two hot lures for sure.
I'm still impressed with how well your boat maintained a trolling speed using the main engine. It was quite nice to not have to fiddle with the throttle all day. I use to have to mess with it more than that even using a kicker motor and dash mounted speed dial.
You've got a real nice setup. Was good to see fish along side of it. :)
thanks man. yeah i still wish we could have landed that big one, even just to see what it was, but that's fishin i guess. there's another "the one that got away" story. maybe we can do it again this weekend or sometime soon.
btw, i emailed the dealer to find out how much it would be to order the other console and a full glass windshield... $4500!!! guess i won't be doing that... my next boat will be a walk-through instead of a side console.
ridiculous. they probably don't get many requests from customers for things like that. more often to repair damaged ones. i was in the weirs area the other day. made the mistake of stopping at thurstons and looking at a new starcraft. **** nice boat...
