Fishing Report - May 13th, 2009
Today we were joined by Jeff Davison and Dave Duffin from Johnson Outdoors. Dave is the National Sales Manager for Cannon Downriggers, and Jeff is the Sr. Brand Manager for Humminbird electronics. They brought along some of their distributors (Matt, Chris, and Pete) so that we could show them our Cannon & Humminbird equipment in action on the water. We got a bit of a late start, and didn't find the green, warm water we wanted when we first went out, but after a few small fish and some searching, we finally found the water that we were looking for. Jeff spent a few minutes showing me how to fine tune the 1157C and I sure am impressed with the unit. We were easily able to see the kinds of detail that I was able to see on my Furuno 585...INCREDIBLE! Check out this screen shot from our 1157C from today:
After we finally found the fish we started a slow pick and took a few nice fish out of that area before we had to pick up and head in so that the guys could catch their planes out of town. While we didn't wrench on the fish like we had the few days prior, we did manage a nice box of fish and we put Dave on the biggest fish of our week at just slightly over 24 lbs. The fish took a Wonderbread Spinny/Sigg's UV Wonderbread fly combo fished off of our Cannon rigger down 140' over 150 FOW.
Right after Dave hooked up with this pig, Jeff was up and he landed a nice king that took a DW SuperSlim Die Hard fished off out our 50' rigger:
If you happen to run into Jeff at a tournament or fishing show, be sure to ask him how he got his nickname "Net Man" No, it's NOT because he's on the cover of the June GLA magazine netting a King! LOL!
We had a great time with these guys and we're so glad to be working with them. Our 1157C is a fabulous fish finder, our Mag 20 DT/TS riggers are smokin' fast, and Jay tells me all the time that the new Cannon adjustable rod holders that we added are the best addition to the boat in several years.
Today's program was a carbon-copy of our King of the Lake program...Walker Deeper Divers out 350-425' on a .5, high divers out 300-325 on a 2.5, riggers stuffed down 110-150 ft deer pulling Spinnys/Siggs flys & some NK & DW spoons. In short, we've been fishing an East-end deep program all week and it's been working beautifully for us.
We have a few more trips later this week, so stay tuned for more reports!
Until Next Time,
Fish On!!
