Great solo trip!  They are often hard to find and dial in with a three rod spread.

I really wanted to get out yesterday morning but just got back from MN the night before and had to cut the yard.  Nice box for fishing solo.  The SH is a nice fish.  Thanks for capturing all the data on your catches - nice system!  I see the hook ups were about an hour apart, kings in shallow, coho and SH out deeper.  Hope to get out a few times between today through Sunday.  Need to dig out a mag Happy Meal for the trip.

The Happee Meal spoon has been a go to spoon for years with me. It's one of the best long lasting glowers I have used.

I fished an extra hour but I couldn't get that fifth fish to make my limit. I picked up my lines when the bite seemed to slow down and headed out to 250fow. I saw 2MD pass by me earlier. He had a great catch

Fishing 3 spoons or other setups is always tough but rewarding. I make it easy with my autopilot and electronic kicker motor control. The boat runs itself, I just fish and have a cup of coffee or bottle of water. I like the process as much as catching the fish itself.
