Racine 5/19/10
On the water at 515 and setup 3 miles south of the harbor in 130fow and started trolling SE. 100’SWR reg Red Hook Pink Tiger fired at 145fow and doubled up with a nice bow on mono board and red flasher with blk/purple and that would go again for anther bow later. Missed the next 3 bites, 3set 35loc Orange Bechhold Blue longtail (eventually 1 for 5!), 45’SWR reg Green Tiger and 90’ White Opti dodger/glow/LBB. It was slower than last Sat and few marks and no bait to be seen. Friends doing well about 3mi north so zigged and zagged 150-185 picking off one here, one there along the way with not particular depth the best.
We kept changing board lures with nadda on 5 color and Orange Tiger and changed to reg dbl Orange crush with a drive by. 8 color, nadda with dbl purple spook, yellow Tiger so for a 7 color with Opti Mt Dew orange and dble aqua nadda. Changed the 10 color from mag Bloody death to reg Dble Purple spook and finally bit with a mag Green Tiger.
Stud setups for the day grn Opti with glow/silver and double aqua rigger down 90’ 6 for 10, 45’ SWR reg green Tiger 5 for 8 and 4 color orange Bechhold blue longtail 3 for 3. Wire Dipsys were dead and worked them on a 1.5 set from 75 to 150loc with various flasher flys. Stuck on a reg Blue Alewife 95loc 1 for 1. The other 3 set Dipsy also dead so put a reg Green Tiger 150loc 1 for 1. 2 color red dodger purple fly 1 for 1, 3 color aqua coho candy 1 for 1.
Temp at the harbor 54 and 44.6 in 180 and 40.6 down 90 trolling at 1.8-2 on the Depth Raider. Fish were scattered and missed a bunch of bites and drive bys. Quite surprised how deep the coho are coming. I’m still looking of the first king of the year. It was a great day on flat seas with 4 bows, 1 LT and 14 coho and over 30 bites.
Tight lines and full coolers,
