Bill Gygax left Salty's bait shop after paying launch and Sausilito at aproximaately 6:45 for Duzberry Reef which was a super smooth run to Duz. The day is starting right and what I'm looking for is a big slug. We had our minds set that we were absolutely not going to stop until we got to the Duz can...Unless we go by a boat with a double hookup going...Chuckle. We saw party boats stopping 2 miles short but we kept on to Duz. Heard about some fish and We were running double FBR setups which is a standard FBR with anchovy on the main rig and a FBR slider on the dropper rig. I was running one green mini red/green light on the bottom Green FBR with standard sleeve and mustad 95160 stainless steel hook and up front was a 1/1/2 oz keel sinker with a one anchovy home made dragless flasher. The dropper rig was fitted with a 12 inch 50# test P-Line leader with beadchain and a 80 pound test dacron uniknot slider to control hook to tail length. The hook was a tricked out 3/0 red Vision hook with the tip slight bend out and fitted with a quick strike kick up shank whisker. It basically makes a single barbless J hook to strike like a treble hook.
Caught some rock fish and another little fish and finally hooked into a monster 44.05 as weighted in at Salty's Tackle by (Vickie)
It was my best salmon ever at it put up a noble fight.
The report is one big 44.05 pound salmon caught on a Green FBR at 55 feet on the wire 1/4 mile south east of the can.
