Fished the Sky Friday targeting steel. Launched at Lewis around 11am. Made a run up to just below the Sultan and started drifting. First drift WhAM backed down on a log and busted off the prop..... awesome start to the day, lol. Got the replacement put on, and next drift different type of a WhAM, fish on time! Nice springer to the boat, about 5 lbs or so. Fished a while longer and nailed another fresh steelie, still had sea lice on the butt! Real nice, scrappy fish, did the tail walk and several summersaults. Freedrifted a secret egg cure all day for our results. Fish checker had seen 1 other king and 2 other steelies from 2pm - 7pm. We saw a few others taken as well.

Good luck out there.

Try using a shrimp and egg combo, but the eggs on first then add a shrimp tail. If the water is clear downsize your spin-n-glo if it is slightly chalky don't be afraid to use a larger one.

Thanks Blurock, so you finally upgraded? I remember you had your boat for sale, but didn't hear anything more after that. What did you get? If you want to check out the sky sometime I'd be glad to take you up and show you the channels.
