Algoma 8/1 PM

[fishoil]

Not much to report from last night. We ended up 1 for 3 with all 3 hits on the 30# copper. We set up about 4:30 in 100' and headed out to 140' before turning around. We took our first hit after a couple of hours in about 90' on a glow ghost J-plug. It took a bit of drag and then was gone right after I started reeling on it. I brought in the copper only to find the back hook broken off on the J-plug harness.

The next one came near dusk in about 85' on the copper and a green/black glow ladder PK in standard size. After getting into another line, going around the rigger cable, and 2 nets snagged up in the boat, we finally landed it.

The final hit came on the same set up and put on a good display thrashing on the surface and trying to tailwalk. Just as my daughter was lifting him up for me to slip the net under him, he thrashed and the spoon came flying back at us. All I could do was shine the flashlight at him and watch him head back down.

Sorrry, I didn't have the radio on. It was just me and my daughter last night and we usually don't leave it on much. If Salty doesn't set you up I bought some 10LB fish shaped weights last year that work good from a guy in Maribel who makes them. I think I still have his phone number somewhere if you want it.

nice going guys!!!

[salty]

I GOT BALLS ;D i got a bunch of 12 1/2 lb "salty's Balls" or i got 2 of the old 12lb coated round ones(yucky)

P.S. not sure if even gilligan lost 2 in a year,
floorboy lost 2 riggers in a year does that count ;D ;D ;D

[fishoil]

He actually only lost one rigger, he smashed the other one.

I wonder if he lost the ball with that one though??
