Port Sheldon 10/9 AM

[Fish4em]

Glad to report a great day of fishing out of Port Sheldon and went 8/10 with a couple of rookies. Powered out straight West and set up in 200 FOW just before light. Fished the top 70 for the first couple hours and got 4 fish, lost 2 alot of fast action right away, then we fished the 238-245 range and targeted deeper down and added some 4 and 5 color to get some Steelhead. Caught 4 more to end up 8 for 10. Two of the catches were doubles. Moonshine Double Trouble went 4 times early, and then green/silver and orange stinger size spoons. We only caught one fish on a green SD with a Pickle sunshine fly.

Catch ended up 3 Salmon, 4 Steelhead, 1 Laker

What worked,

Target the scum and slicks in and out of the dirty and clear water

3.2 GPS, 2.7 @ ball

Riggers 50, 70, 150 foot down

Dipseys 170 back on 3

250 Copper

Beautiful day only 5 boats we could see out there, calm water and calm seas. Hey not bad for October and a great experience for the newbies, especially arial displays by the Steelies!

Get out and enjoy, hope this helps. Live well and fish hard.
