Draggin the Line with John

[itsbob]

John and I fished Friday. Forecast called for winds out of the NE overnight and through the morning. I told John we would be running right into NE rollers on the run out. But he bet me the "usual" $1 bet we would have a smooth run out to fish. Unfortunately, I won the bet and had 3' rollers on the run out to where we fished the past two weekends. That area is just north of Old C can around 4 miles east of Kellis Island Shoal. The sonar showed poor marks so headed east along the line until found better marks another 4 miles east. Set out gear and hooked and lost one good fish then nothing for another 30 min. We picked up and ran east to weather buoy. Set up gear and was catching after adjusting dipsies for the deeper water. Caught our 12/33lbs in a couple hours with several 24" fish and a little sorting. One short and one sheep. Speed 2. 7mph.Only fished 4 dipseys cuss was in Canadian waters. Had one green spoon harness and 3 double willow worm harness out. The 3@ 90 and 1@75 did the catching. John had another friend join him Saturday, without me.Went to same area and gear and caught 5 fish, but one was a F/O 28" beauty.FYI, they have commercial nets between Kellis and South Bass that we had to navigate around in the morning.
