Nice work and thanks for the detailed info. My daughter and I went straight out of port Sheldon and had lines set at 6:30 pm. We stopped and fished 125 fow. Marked tons of bait and had several good hooks around the bait at 40’ down and all the way to the bottom. Had two steelhead porpoise in front of the boat. port down rigger went once at 90 down with a ss glow frog and starboard rigger went once down 80 with a std Mongolian beef. Port low diver back 165 went once with a ss glow frog. 2 escaped and we landed 1. Pulled lines at 8:00 (school night) What a beautiful night ! water was flat and sunset was fantastic.

Ran straight out to 150’ and trolled south. Had 3 bites on the south troll. Turned around and had 3 more bites on the north troll. Turned NE towards the pier and had 2 more bites. One in 100’ and last one in 90’. We boated 6 of the 8 bite’s and released one small king. We had a nice steelhead and a lake trout in the mix. much thanks to jolly time for the detailed report about small bait. We ran super slims and a couple standard size spoons. our best king (10lbs) bit a super slim 1/2 green jeans on a 12’ leader behind an 8” white slick spin doc. It was 100’ down on starboard rigger. Other bites were on both high divers back 260’ and 280’. Port rigger down 125’ and the free slider. 300 copper. Low diver back 180’ went twice. Spoons were ss green jeans, ss 1/2 green jeans, ss A-bomb, ss rosta goose, ss glow frog, and Mongolian beef. Lake was calm and no boat traffic and a spectacular sun set.

Yes we do pick up muscles off the bottom and we try to just skim or lightly bounce on the sand. we don’t catch any fish on the main line but the sliders seem to wake up and catch fish. I wish I knew how far down free sliders run. I have to believe they work there way down closer go the ball rather than run in the middle. We only do it if we see fish tight on the bottom and Im assuming when we stir up the bottom it brings fish into the spread and the fish are close enough to see the stealthy presentation of spoons. we laugh about it on our boat and call it the reverse SWR. When it works to avoid a skunk it’s well worth it 😃 -

Thanks for the report, For whatever it’s worth….when there’s warm water around and the bite is tough we put the cannon balls on the bottom and let the free sliders do the work with ss spoons. Stealth presentation seems to help em bite. -

Thanks for reporting. Sounds like steelhead are hungry for spoons. Steelhead always surprise us. Our biggest this year came on a low mag wire diver back 140’ pulling a (fish catcher black crush) paddle and a Krw Julie bird fly 🤔. We’ll put a variety spread in the water this weekend and see what happens. The weather and wind should make for a fantastic boat ride. thanks again for the info. -
Set a 6 rod spread at 6:30 pm. Marked fish on the bottom in 90 fow About 4 miles north of the pier. only needed 1 rod. Our 300 copper went 3 for 3 on a south troll in 90 fow. All were 6 to 7 lb kings. Ran one of my dad’s old spoons. (White with a green ladder back) I thinks it’s a doctored up pirate spoon. It’s been a good late season spoon for several years. Had a boat pass us running up on full plane about 200 yards inside the pier head after dark on our way in. That’ll get your attention in a hurry. Other than that idiot it was a beautiful evening out on the big lake.
