South Haven Thursday 9-9-10

Trolled from about 4p-7p, went 2 for 4 catching:

1. 8# king, 160 FOW, down 65 ft, lemon ice

2. 6 pound steelhead, 165 fow, down 100, green nbk

The river temp was around 66 degrees. Out at the mouth, the surface temp was still 72 degrees! We first ran out to around 100 FOW, but after all of this west blow recently, the temp on the bottom was still 67 degrees.

Ran out to 150+ FOW and not much better. There did seem to be a thermocline around 130 but it was intermitent and the depth raider didn't read well below 125.

The interesting thing was, ocassionally we would hit a pocket where the temp around 100 feet down would drop to 48-50. We would immediately see scruff and bait pods on the graph, and each time that happened, we got our strikes. It really took some work to try to go back and find those cold pockets, but when we did, the strikes would come.

We did hook into a presumed large king that spit the hook after about 3 minutes. He hit a large J-plug, red back, yellow belly.

GJ Scot. It's too bad we had so much rough weather right at prime time.
