SF Bay trolling with KoneZone

May 15 2011

Just got an order in from KoneZone on Friday and wanted to try out some of my new toys. Headed to Berkeley to see if I couldn't find a few flatties. Headed to the frontside of Angel just before slack and trolled that area for nada. Then headed over to SBS and started trolling south in 14-18 feet of water. Picked up a 26" striper and later a leopard shark. No love from the flatties for us but it was a nice day on the bay. The wind would pick up and then drop off, pick up and drop off.

Water temp was 53 at Angel island, I believe 58 in the south bay.
Trolled popsicles on a Krippled anchovy with a hoochie over it and a 50/50 green UV KoneZone flasher.

2011 OPM Classic is in the history books.

The California guys sure know how to put on a derby.

KoneZone Pro Staff Charter Captain Bob Monckton with the Reel-Lentless had quite a showing.

Good job Bob! Keep it up. 

Here is Bob's report.  

First of all I want to thank all that were involved in putting the OPM 2011 Halibut - Striper Derby together, We were very successful as the results show. We ended the day with 12 Halibut up to 20.5 #'s fishing SB shoals in a very, very small area, Trolling anchovies and herring.  We couldn't have done it with out the KoneZone Trolling Flashers.  Anglers need to take these things seriously when trolling for Halibut. It’s not a fluke that I’ve been fishing them for 4 years now with great success. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. KoneZone Flashers put fish in the box which brings clients back. We are looking forward to a successful Halibut season again this year. As for colors, every day and water clarity will change the line up. Greens, whites, UV's, the new ChromeZone by KoneZone Flashers all work great.

Thanks,

Capt. Bob Monckton
