Lots of bait but only one release in 107 fow at 7:54 am. Dropped lines in at 80fow, fished 110-130 mostly. Used variety of lures, flies and plugs. I saw only two other boats out. Attached pics of bait piles.

One of em was me probably.  We started an hour earlier and finished an hour later.  Set up in 75 fow with good marks on a south troll.  When they ran out, trolled west to 135.  No marks or bites so we came back in and began marking fish between 115 - 120 fow.  Finished 3 for 3 with 2 kings and a small laker.  Larger king was 15 lbs but had teeny tiny eggs.  Probably would have been 30 lbs next August.

All hits came from 115-120 fow. Big king came on 180 copper with Moonshine Rickety Ranger,  laker came on slider with blue dolphin 90 down, last king came on rigger 80 down with magnum Silver Streak but don't know the name.  Blue black and chrome with white nose.  Trolling speed was 2.7 to 2.9.

Very slow but given the poor fishing lately, quite happy with 3 fish.

You did better than most of us, congrats!

PS. It's not fair you caught my fish. Enjoy though!
