Algoma 6/13 AM

[drillsgt]

I had no intention of fishing this morning, but I woke up about 2:40 & looked out side to see the flag hanging straight down. I'm taking a friend & his son out on Wed, so I decided I should get a quick trip in this AM. I woke Josh & we loaded the boat, but I forgot that we stole the bow rope off the boat to add more stakes to a couple of our new trees that were going over the other day in the wind

We used a ratchet strap I had in the truck & launched, maybe I should have taken that as an omen! I had all 6 lines in by 4:30 with no hits, not a good feeling. Finally dipsy with yellowtail spoon 60 ft out pounds, nice mid sized King in the box (feeling better!) right away the second dipsy fires, 100' chartruse & glow Inticer with green fly . I grab it & it rips out line & then goes limp, leader between dipsy & flasher broke Dig out new flasher & fly, replace the leader re-set. Bang! black & gold PK on full core rips, Josh lands 5-6 lb rainbow Then a smash & gone on the full core again. While zig-zaging between a couple of boats the 100' dipsy with replaced flasher & fly gets absolutely burried, I grab it & yell for Josh who is out cold in the cuddy, by the time he gets back by me for the hand off, the rod goes limp, this time the dipsy & all is gone I decide to cut & re-tie everything. While I am in the process my SWR 100 ft down fires with Glo-Ghost J-plug, I grab it & shortly after it goes limp. I lost the leadcore & the plug. I decide to cut my losses & call it a day. At that point 2 for 6 with the boat back on the trailer sounds pretty good.

I will definately have everything cut & retied before the next trip Wed PM & will have to make a sacrifice to the fish gods when leaving the harbor

Two things. It had to be better than staying at home and doing honey-dos, and secondly, surely the fishing gods will take care of you on Wednesday after putting you through the ringer today!

p.s. Thanks for sharing the report!

We all have days like these. Hang in there and things will be better for you on the next run. Good luck.

Fished 5:45 -10:00P.M. 3/5. Had one hit on dipsy out 140 with green inticer and blue/green fly. Hit and was gone. Then nothing until dark, double, one 55 ft down nightcrawler glow spoon, one 45 down, green/white cracked ice spin doc. with blue/green fly. Had next one on briefly on dipsy out 85 with glow happy meal. Was going to pull, and still did at 10, and at 9:57 same dipsy went . Marked a ton of fish once it got dark. Worked 95 to 130, with best at 95. Talked to Little Nemo. He had two before we had a bite, but said he could'nt get them going after dark.

Wow!! Brian that sounds like you were near gilligan's triangle. Hopefully you got that bad karma out of your system. Thanks for the read.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a frustrating day but at least you were out, catching fish and sharing time with your son.

Better days to come . . . better days to come
