Arrived early due to the tournament and was the second person to launch this am. Made it out to 80 fow by around 5:20 am and had our 6 lines set by 5:35 am. First fish bit at 5:55 and it was steady action from there on out - ended 11/13. Took fish number 11 while pulling lines after hitting our limit at 9:25 am. Generally was pretty busy boat wise but everyone we saw was being polite and considerate to other trollers. We fished from 80 out to 100 and back a few times on south trolls, then worked out to 140 and stayed between 145 and 125 trolling north (NE/NW). Speed 2.3-2.7 at the ball. Found fish everywhere. Lets see if I can get the bites down correctly: 1 250 copper - moonshine orange flounder - 3 lb king 2 downrigger at 40 - bad toad moonshine - 8 lb coho 3 300 copper - mag moonshine double trouble - 12 lb king 4 250 copper - moonshine orange flounder - 14 lb king 5 downrigger at 55 - bad toad moonshine - 10 lb coho 6 300 copper - mag moonshine double trouble - 3 lb king 7 downrigger down 67 - green 8" pro-king paddle and meat rig - miss 8 250 copper - moonshine orange flounder - 3 lb steelhead 9 downrigger down 67 - green 8" pro-king paddle and meat rig - miss 10 diver back 195 - green spin doctor and meat rig - 8 lb steelhead 11 downrigger down 67 - dreamweaver flea 4 all - 12 lb steelhead 12 250 copper - moonshine orange flounder - 18 lb king 13 downrigger down 89 - green 8" pro-king paddle and meat rig - coho

Bummer on no bites! Half our bites came before 7 am. The rest were spread out over the rest of the morning - 7 to 12. Was a great day to be on the water. The clouds rolling in helped our decision to stay out longer.

Found a few scattered fish. Fished from 90-200 fow and went 5/8. 2 coho, 1 nice king, 1 3 lb king, and 2 nice lake trout. Lost three smaller fish on coppers No pattern depth lure speed was consistent.
