I knew the browns were hitting well towards hamilton, but instead we decided to go in search of the screamers. After a small line up at the launch (6:15am), then some problems with a dead cranking battery, we managed to drop lines around 7am....
Water temps were around 40 degrees, and the clarity was only about 10 feet (or less), much better than the 40' that has been around the shores lately. We set ou a 6 line spread, and it didn't take long to find out the Kings were around.....
We fished for about 6 hours, and ended up 5-8, all Kings. Two were shakers, both under 5 pounds....but the other fish were all quality.
Here's some pics, cause we all know a report without pics is like a fishing boat without a motor.
With fish like the one above, its easy to see why tackle manufacturers dont make hardware strong enough for them:
Hope this is an indication of the season to come....2004 was unreal. 2005 was tough.....i'm hoping 2006 will be the best ever.
;D
