    Weather hasn’t been very helpful for getting out.

    Also remember this is a rare harbor where the water flows into the channel from the lake and not out of the channel. Hence any ice around the channel might get sucked into the channel instead of washed out.

    Run 5/0 singles on my flies and meat rigs. I’ve had mature kings where that hook was so buried in the roof of their mouth I had to ditch the needle nose and go get channel locks out of the tool kit.

    Just use what you have and scare the people at the dock…

    Singles miss some hits, but then once hooked up seem to land more fish.

    No hurry here finally got ice and decent weather…

    Thompsons were great boats, right until they were not…

    Lost my depth finder on a trip with a stiff east wind a while back so I could not pull off a N-S troll. That was miserable. Ride them out until too rough hammer on until the deep rigger bounced. 300’ copper dug in on the on bound troll I turned pulled all the other lines so I could work that snag up off the bottom. Snag was the biggest king we landed that year and once we snugged it back up it made that known…

    I run lets see an ancient fish finder I traded for bags of weed, an aquarium temperature gauge that cost $3, and a Garmin hand held GPS. Learning how to read your boat, the rods, and the weather is way more important than relying on tools that can fail you. One of the best trips we had I broke my transducer off the stern and never set the subtroll on the 22’. Learned later the break was down 90 that day funny we caught fish from full cores all the way to bouncing the bottom in 140’ or so

    22’ Four Winns cuddy. Launching solo is not pleasant.

    Guys in 36' boats with six people fishing. Would really suck to go out fish all day and never get to fight a fish. When I'm solo at least I get to fight every one that hits...

    Lake flipped hard, wanted to try out front for steel but heavy seas ruled that out. Wanted to try the channel but people casting and weird waves ruled that out. Tried Mac instead, hit a small sheep setting lines. That was it. Gave up around 7 as it was cold. Marked several bait balls in Mac and most of the hooks we marked were tight to the bottom, which is different. There was a pile just in front of the channel opening in 29' would have been interesting to jig that spot and see if it was a late last push of kings, not that I would expect them to wait once they got into Mac.

    Smoke plume that only got bigger. Coming home they were still spraying down a smoldering car in 196 by the Ottagon overpass.
