“We hit up the upper part of The Ridge,” wrote Shogun skipper Bruce Smith June 6, “and had fairly decent action on good sized yellowtail. 90% of the fish came on heavy vertical type jigs, as we commonly see when the water temps are in the high 50's to low 60's. The Salas 6x in Python color was a hot ticket along with blue and white. On my first cast of the day, literally just to straighten my spectra out, I hooked a yellow and lost it, then promptly hooked another, this second one is making its way to the dinner table tonight. What was sort of cool was that it was on Salas 7x, Neapolitan color (white, brown and Pink), I saw these on FB one day a couple weeks ago and made a smart remark about those were the ugliest surface iron I had ever seen and where could I get one? Our local Salas rep Tom Spayne is on this trip and just happen to bring us some of those new crazy looking Neapolitan colored 7x's. Well, I'm here to say they work.”

“This morning was a little on the slow side,” wrote Bruce Smith for the Shogun June 7, “this afternoon was on fire! Again most of the yellows were in that 18 to 22 pound range, but we landed some real brutes, up to 50 pounds and most of the really big fish today came on the surface iron, Salas 7X ruled for sure. Crazy as it sounds, we are still in this cold water, 60.7 degrees to be exact, and contrary to belief, the yellows wanted to bite with a vengeance. Like I stated earlier, it wasn't the yo-yo bite we had yesterday. The fish ate the flylined sardine well enough along with the 6X Jr's. fished near the bottom.”

“Big fish honors go out to Andrew Craig for landing a lifetime surface iron yellowtail that will go over 50 pounds. That fish ate his chrome/green 7X literally twenty feet from the stern, it was an awesome sight!”


Thanks again for tying on our Lures!
