Fishing continues to be very good in ST JOE. We are getting steady action both north and south of the port. I started today in 80 FOW North of the piers, and trolled NW to the 12's, action started in 88 FOW with a nice Steelhead hitting a Stinger Jawbreaker on a 4 color, that fish got off behind the boat, but more was coming on that combo. Trolled all the way to 130 FOW, and turned around and headed back in toward the piers. The program was riggers from 31 to the bottom, ran an 8" echip mtn dew with a home tied pickled sunshine fly and that took a 29" laker. Walker Deeper diver with Stinger glow Christmas on 2 out 75 took 4 fish, Stinger Mary poppins took another king. All of the Kings came on 300 copper and 10 color leadcore, with Stinger bloody nose and Stinger glow Christmas. We ended with 6 Kings, 5 Steelhead ( released 1 12" steelhead) 1 Lake Trout and 1 Coho. We pulled lines at l1:30 or we probably could have gotten our limit. Thanks to Terry Motsinger his wife and Sister in law, Mark and Mike for a great morning in the Joe.

Thanks for the report. I do have a question.

trolled NW to the 12's

What does the 12's mean? Thanks.

What does the 12's mean? Thanks.

It is the minutes in the degrees North. The port is at about 7 minutes of north latitude, and we were about 5 minutes north of that. Check your GPS readings, the St Joe pier heads are at 42degrees 6.884 min. N by 86degrees29.488 min W. This give a general idea of where we were, others were south and in the same depths of water.
