Got six lines set at 10 AM a mile north of junk cars. Trolled south to about a mile south of junk cars in 5 to 15 foot of water. Not a tap. Pulled everything and ran south to chalets. Set four lines off big planer boards, two thin fins gold and orange, two tadpollys silver orang and blue silver, a pro-king orange crush on one rigger down 7' and a tee spoon spinner with a another orange proking 3' behind the spinner. Almost immediately took a hit on the spinner/spoon rig. Lost him after a short fight. Went 4 for 6 after that fishing 7'-12' of water from about 1/4 mile north of chalets to 1/2 mile south.

Red thinfin with tiger stripes took 3 fish, orange/gold thinfin took 1. All coho about average size for this time of the year. Had two other hits on the red/black stripe thinfins. Ended up fishing three of those. Ran lines off boards back 50' for two of them and 75' for the other two. Fish came about equal off either side. Lake was great till about 2 PM when the SE wind switched to the NW and reall picked up. Rough ride back to the piers. Good day to be out and get the skunk out! Weather sounds pretty nasty for the next week so it may be awhile before we are back out. Tight lines everyone.

Yeah Mike, first trip. Have done a little gill fishing at Gun with mixed results. Some decent gills but hard to find.
