Fished with Village today 9-3pm. 8 for 17, two kings 19.1# and 17.8#. The rest lakers between 4 and 6.5#. We couldn't keep them off our lures as we tried to catch the last 2 kings to get our limit. We kept releasing them near the boat. Then the rain came, we had no rain gear.

Fished 80-120fow. Most hits came in a 1 hour period in middle of day in 90-100 fow northwest of harbor. Lures used were Craig's flounder, Rickety Ranger, Green nbk, JP Slammer, all mag size also imitation meat rig (blue/green).

Riggers were down 55-75', back 24 and 50ft. Slide divers picked off the kings back 120 and 150 set at 2 and 3 respectively. Riggers, 170 and 240 coppers picked the laketrout. Shallower rods batted zero.

If Village adds his video clip to this report you can see some of the action underwater.

 

Great day! Saw some familiar faces at the launch who also did well.
