Port Sheldon 7-30 pm

Fished out of PS last night, along with everyone else who owns a boat! I could not believe all the boats there when we arrived at 5:30, lot was full and a line behind me to get in...

I guess I was not the only one waiting for a good night to fish with no wind!

We went 8-11 with all nice kings and one steelhead, plus one small throwback.

Low divers 120-140 back, riggers down 45-70 down, full core, 7 color, 5 color, all went.

Best depth for me was 85-90 fow, had some serious marks at dark but rain started and the guys with me had no rain gear, otherwise I would have stayed a little longer.. Ran back to launch, and everyone had same idea! I was the ninth boat in line to get out, and at least 5 behind me..

Most boats I talked to had 1 or 2 fish, but I know there was boats out past 120 who sounded like they were getting fish.

I don't have a fishhawk, but seemed like 2.9-3.3 sog was best for me, not sure on downspeed.

A little note to many newbies- When pulling your boat at night in the dark, please turn your headlights off on your truck! Headlights mixed with rain made it hard to back trailer up- Just a little advice that keeps everyone happy!

Plannign on heading back tonight, mixed emotions on weather-

Either way- best of luck!

Nice work - ya, I do not miss launch wars.

FYI, some trucks (like mine - 2000 GMC Sierra) do not have the option of turning head lights off at night, the automatic lights take over completely (thanks a ton, GM). I hate it. I've considered installing a manual switch myself.

Try pressing the dome override button 3 times in a row. It shuts off the automatic lights and makes the switch work.

I found that if you put the parking brake on and the truck in park, the lights go off on my silverado..

Agreed....my 02 Silverado has to be in park and cycle the dome override 3 times and they go into manual mode.

Haha! I will try the dome override trick
