HitMan Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Fishing in St. Joe was still very slow early in the week. By May 8 fishing began to improve and later in the week fishing was unbelievable. The best fishing for some boats was 80-120 with many large Kings being caught in this water, along with a lot of Lake Trout. If you wanted numbers of fish the best was 180-220 with Coho making up the majority of the catch. Smaller Kings and Steelhead were also being caught. Wednesday and Thursday we boated 24 fish and 35 fish.90-130 back on divers with a setting of 3 worked almost everywhere you went with regular-sized Stinger Green Dolphin spoons. 10 colors of Lead Core and Copper rigs of 150 feet and 225 feet did a lot of the other damage as well. 40-50 feet down on Downriggers was good for the higher Kings and Cohos. The best spoons throughout the week for us were the regular sized Stinger Green Dolphin, regular-sized Stinger Lemon Ice, regular-sized Carmel Dolphin, Stingray Green Dolphin, Stingray Double Edged Kevorkian, Stingray Stinger Pox, Stingray Lemon Ice, Stingray Clown, Stingray Carmel Dolphin, and Stingray Double Orange Crush.The flasher/fly bite was spotty the entire week. We would get a few bites on Wednesday with them and none on Thursday. Overall, fishing in St. Joe is back to being excellent with spoons making up the majority of the fish catching damage.
