Holo Hog Wild at Bronte, June 20, 2008

The morning of Friday June 20th was picture perfect. Lake was calm and the sun rise was something. Boated over to in front of Bronte with John Poirier and Peter Hansen. We had all the lines in by 7:00 am.

By 7:20 we were in 130 FOW and hit a double header both of the full core off each board on either side of the boat start singing. John's fish was about 19 lbs and when the fish was in the net coming on board the wire diver takes a violent strike. I grab it and work my way around Peter as he lands his at about 17 lbs. The wire rod is peeling and the head shakes are unreal. Then the leader on Peters fly snaps. Sorry no pictures of those fish- not enough hands free. Had the video running through part of it though.

Yeck 88 in my custom Hologram Hog Wild ---Holi Hog Wild?? see the picture for a look see.

The spoon took the 19 lbs king, as well as another about 8 lbs on full core. The other full core was the Warrior Chicken Wing. then the rods stayed still for about 1 1/2 hrs. The bait was incredible. The most I've seen all year. At times running from the top down to 80 ft.

The riggers take a 5 lbs king down 100 feet on a Warrior Wild Hog and a shaker on the slider with Michigan Stinger Seduction. Also missed a fish that destroyed my blue dyed coloured whole bait in a three fly rig behind a 11' Hotspot Green Glow flasher down 60 ft over 150 FOW. Peter's wire went off again with Black Crushed glow with Green Crinkle on 2 setting and out 170 ft with the ring.

Also managed a 10 lbs rainbow on a Grimsby Tackle special Michigan Stinger Stingray colour that is green dolphin on a copper blade. That was on wire with the Walker Deeper Diver 107 in Froggy Glow set at 3 and out 180 feet.

We ended the morning going 8 for 10 and pulled lines by 11:00 am.
