Had a sweet day on the water Sunday,calm waters and fish that were hungry. Put 3 fish in the boat, a 10 ,13 and 17 lbs. The two smaller ones were marbled and the 17 was a white. All the fish were caught on 6-7 inch herring using spackle back green teaser and chartreuse teaser heads between 70 and 40 feet. The hits were also all on my wife's side with the braid so I will be switching my side out. Was rad to watch my wife reel in the first fish with our baby Nakai strapped to here back in a carrier, also felt good to get the skunk off board. One boat had a triple and two missed hits all with in a short period of each other, he was pretty stoked. Put a crab trap down with no bait and caught 4 big keepers lol. Oh, all the fish were hooked between QA and start of the hump for us. See you out there Thursday.

Nice day got one 16lber @ 126 ft on a army truck hootchie.... I guess its the northern end of the hump, about a mile or 2 south of Rodger curtis anyway. My buddy in his boat trolling beside me got a 15lber an hour before me same place on a black and white hootchie @ 100 ft on the rigger. This was in the afternoon about 5:00 pm........Finally some blood in the boat ha ha

Well, I braved the wind and waves today and fished the hump. All I got out of it was a sore back in 4 hours this after noon (2:30-6:30). Ran cop cars at 65, 85 and 115 but no takers.
Tons of debris in the water out there, stumps, logs, trees even a loose section of a dock floating out there. Keep your eyes open.
Cheers

Was out today fished the Hump and QA.
It was a real ride out there lumpy and bumpy.
One hit but lost it to mother nature (tossing me around the boat like a leaf ....... ).
Didn't see anything on the fishfinder but heard a few guys talking and reported they were around the Hump catching fishe 60-90 feet , early in the morning so maybe thats the time , I was out from 11am - 6PM.
Good Luck out there hope you guys get the calm weather and fished I didnt LOL

A report for Wednesday. The boat I normally fish was in the water, but I skipped to work on the project boat....to bad because it was a good day on the water!
Tapped a 17 lber off bowen @ 80' on an army truck anchovie 6' lead. Red Spring. Prawning was better than last Wed. with approx 12 lbs of bugs in the same southern bowen area...Crabbing off Jericho was again, productive.
Water had some chop in the earlier part of the day, smoothed out in the afternoon. No rain, and just the two bites, the fish at 3:30 and a touch shortly after.

yesterday. Decided to head across the water, north of Thrasher (waterfall?) We only landed the one above, other boats pulled a few in too but generally spotty and slow. All fish were caught between 90-135. White teaser head on chovie worked for mine above.
We heard from our guide friends that the hump has significantly improved over the last 2-3 days. Thats where I would target right now. Not worth the trip across the water yet.

Hmm looks kind of worth it!! Great fish and report. Murky all the way across it looks like! Could be the spring run-off but this year shouldnt' be as heavy as the last couple....nice bonk!

that brown crap is horrible! Almost impossible to get it off the line and there is soo much that I could see the end eye on my rod getting plugged up when reeling. Wouldnt want that with a fish on. Anyone have a good tip on how to rip this crap off your line?
We put 5 in the boat at Grande(sp?) lost 2 more and released one under size on Tuesday all on hoochies from 70' down to 125'. Water was totaly clear tuesday lots of brown crap on the lines though . Well worth the $250 in fuel to get over there....I guesslol
