Had the Art Erickson party out for some flukin today and was pleasantly rewarded with our biggest fluke of the year so far on Reel Fun Sportfishing.
Set up on one of my "honey holes" and started repeated drifts utilizing both bucktailing and dragging bait. We had beautiful long white squid strips and Peruvian smelt sandwiches for the draggers and 3 oz Spro-glo bucktails tipped with various goodies.
In short order, BANG......FISH ON!
Although it was a slow pick by my standards, Kristy O'Neill of the group showed that women can fish too as she caught the 2 biggest fish of the day.
How does a 8 lb. 14 oz beast sound? And for her second fish she nails a 7 lb. 9 oz. beauty. Both fish were on dragging bait with squid and Peruvian smelts. Way to go Kristy!
So what initially started out as a stinker day turns out to be a very nice Fluking day.
Good fishing Erickson party AND especially Kristy!
Tight Lines,
Capt. John
