To begin we did fill the empty seat with Mike Hyneman, Owner of Konezone Flashers. As well, our neighbor Fred, who had not been out salmon fishing for over 4 years joined us for the day. Fred had the hot rod for the day. And Mike...well we really enjoyed water testing a bunch of his lastest Konezone Flashers. Hot colors today were Emerald Green, Ice Blue, Royal Blue and Chartruse - all with the big eye holographic flash. The cool upgrade on the 2005 HST Design Flashers are extra holes milled into the Konezone allowing you to fine tune the roll. Wing and Off-Center holes to give flasher erratic wobble rotatations for extra action on your bait/lure. Mike also showed us the lasted trick - running your Konezone backward - very fishy action.
Results:
18 hooked, 12 landed w/ 4 lost and 2 nate coho released. We had a triple and two doubles. Very nice fish today with the biggest going to Fred at 27lbs. Fred also got the first fish of the day. What a hoot fishing with Fred - the stories, the jokes...he is definately on our dance card going forward.
All in all we could not have asked for a better day with the wind laying down on the flood tide for nearly flat conditions most of the day. We could have fish until dark it was so beautiful.
Thanks again to Grant for a great day - per usual.
