We're getting several hundred OG2s ready for rigging. (Just finished clear coating the lure bodies in our paint room.)

Captain Drogseth, on the Ruby D, continues to use the OG2 in UV-Green to put his clients on the fish! Below are two pictures he provided. One from his outing on Saturday, June 15; and, the other from Sunday June 16. If you want to target the resident coho in Puget Sound, contact Captain Drogseth and charter the Ruby D for a morning! We've added a new OG2 color for salmon fishermen in 2024: UV-Orange Glow with Black Scales. Your can order yours now through the online store!  In June, parts of central Puget Sound, in Washington state, open for the resident coho. (These fish make excellent table fare!) Just received a report from Captain Dale Drogseth, who skippers the Ruby D charter, out of Edmonds. His clients were successful today targeting these fish. And, their success came with the 3.3' OG2 in UV-Green. He sent a couple of photos which we're attaching below. Absolutely appreciate Captain Drogseth putting our lures to work! For several years now, the OG1, in Green perch, has been our go to lure when fishing for 'bows and browns in eastern Washington state. Whether Rock Lake, Lake Roosevelt, or any other of a number of lakes in the area, this lure has accounted for a number of solid, big-shouldered trout!  Had the opportunity last Friday, and Saturday morning, to explore Washington's MA13 and fish it for the first time in over 30 years. Launched the boat with my oldest son, and oldest grandson, with a goal of getting the little guy into his first fish. That goal was reached shortly after launching as he brought in his first salmon. A pink that took the blue/black-scales OG2 in the 3.9" size. Hooked another humpie and had it come off at the boat. A couple of hours later, hooked a decent hatchery Chinook. That Chinook took the green/black-scales OG2 in the 3.9" size. Headed back to the Pt. Defiance boat house and took care of the fish at the cleaning station. Saturday morning, we launched again. A bit slower than Friday. But, we managed a hot Chinook on the 3.9" white/green/pink OG2 right around the tide change. About the same size as Friday's. Great fight. Actually came out of the water twice! But, when we got it to the boat, it had an intact adipose. So, we released it. Photos below: Received a report, and photos, from a fisherman in Yakutat who was putting the Green-UV OG2 in 3.9" size to work for the coho! What was interesting about this report, though, was that they tried the 2.44 OG1 in green-UV. And, this lure, accounted for a number of coho as well! (This is a first!) One of our customers, Dave Y., hit Lake Wenatchee recently to focus on the sockeye. As he stated in his report: "...they were the only lures that worked for me." (He replaced the stock treble hooks, on the fluoro-pink OG1s, with a single barbless hook.) Dave: Appreciate the report, and, the photo! Before Washington state's Puget Sound closed for Chinook in August, Dana C. took a couple of nice fish with the OG2. One weighed 13 pounds; the other 15. Dana: Appreciate the photos and the reports! Just received the following report and photos from Eric and Jan at G'Day Charters out of Valdez, Alaska: "24 silvers, 4 kings ALL with your lures Fabulous day today. Every fish caught on OG lures. We tried other lures, herring etc. All caught on OG2’s. Hope you like the pics. Holding them on glacier ice to get back to the harbor. " We absolutely appreciate this report and the photos! (Order your OG2s now through our online store.) |
