heading out 8-3

just2fish · 08-03-2006, 04:54 PM

leaving haulover around 6:30, going to try a new color squid. i think i have matched the color they are when you buy them. puch brown is the color you get when you mix red with some green dye. very close to the color they are naturally. i'll report back in the morning. Ray

just2fish · 08-04-2006, 01:27 AM

well we went 1/2. got slashed around 9 on the deep rod. changed the bait and back in to the spread. around 9:30 i see the balloon heading north and no noise from the clicker. i sit next to the rod and feel the line for movement, off in the distance i can see the LP glowing on the surface. i start winding and slowly get tight. after almost an hour its in the boat. Final measurement was 71 almost 72. forgot to measure the girth. I'll measure the plug in the morning. Ray

Nice job, Quack quack was on my boat I beleive he spoke to you guys on the radio. We ended up going 1 for 1 with a 50''er and pulled the plug at mid night

FinalPoint · 08-04-2006, 03:07 AM

Sounds like a nice night out there!

Swordfish123...do you have internet...were you out?

quack quack · 08-04-2006, 09:02 AM

Great job Ray happy to hear you get one

Last night was a great night to be out.The weather was great.A little warm but just a great night.I think a bunch of fish were caught last night from way down South up to the North.I just love those water ski home kind of nights.

It is never to calm to scare me. :lol: We had a great crew last night and had a fun time.

Nice fish.
Bait Washer and crew will be doing a canyon drift Fri. night.

quack quack · 08-04-2006, 10:06 AM

As Barry said we ended up with a 50in fish.But I will say this it hit like a slob and ran off 200yd of line in 2min with over 20lbs of drag and was towing boat backwards :shock: to the south against the current.With that run and in that direction I really thought it was a big fish.It came up quick with some sword jumps and was at boat side.

swordstalker · 08-04-2006, 10:23 AM

We were out last night and heard a lot of the guys from this forum on the radio (quack, albar).
We had two double headers last night. We started our drift down south on the 25'50, right on the 50 line. The first double hit at 9:00, both ate squid, one on the 150' jug and the other on the 200' tip rod. Strikes were within 60 seconds of each other. Had the first one close to the boat within about 20 minutes, he saw the light and sounded and pulled the hook. The other one took 45 minutes to get close. He came up with another one following him. We started to leader him and he sounded again peeled 400 feet of line, went under the boat to the other side, jumped twice and broke the line.

ops:
After we regrouped and started setting out our spread again, the 200' jug gets slammed before we even get it out all the way. This was around 10:00. As we are clearing the other lines, I feel a thump on the tip rod. I stop reeling, let the bait drop again, and boom, we're on. Both pulled the hooks within 10 minutes.
We gave it another two hours, but no more action. Final tally - a dissapointing 0 for 4, but we'll be out again tonight seeking to even the score.

quack quack · 08-04-2006, 10:27 AM

I hate when that happens :cry: Any reason for the pulled hooks other than bad luck?

I wish I could go again tonight but I do not like the couch :lol:

Shark Tagger · 08-04-2006, 10:27 AM

wtg guys. Very nice fish being caugh there.

Sounds like August is proving to be the best month of swordfishing.

I believe this is why swordlords is within this month. We'll be fishing it.

Swordstalker, try putting the weight back further if you are not already...

Went out last nite to the 50 line off Hillsboro. Caught a shark 7', moved out to 48, short wait, fish on for 30 mins, pulled the hook . Good fish, was going away most of the time. Beautiful flat conditions

Sword Donkey · 08-04-2006, 02:48 PM

Ray with all those wires don't leave any rods in the boat when you back in :shock: Nice boat.

albar1 · 08-04-2006, 03:52 PM

We were 1/2 last night the fish we boated was 43inches and he went back to swim away free. The other was a large fish on a rainbow runner. Never got a good hook set he was gone after 10 minutes . Quack did you set up where I told you? Talk to you soon guys. I will be out sunday.

just2fish · 08-04-2006, 03:55 PM

the pic is a little deceving. the wires are closer to me taking the pic than they are to the boat. thanks, i only wish the ride was less (pound the crap out of you) harsh. it's the 14deg dead rise. floats nice and lots of space... oh yeah 3mpg crusing.

quack quack · 08-04-2006, 03:57 PM

Got our bite about 10 min after we talked.The bouy boat just to our north got 3 or 4 fish just outside of us so you were on the spot
