westrate Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 7/8/2007Fishing does not get much better than it was last week. Last week we ran 7 charters and caught 20 fish on 5 of the trips and 10 and 15 on the other two. Salmon that weighed in at 20 pounds, a brown trout that weighed 15.5 pounds and a steelhead that weighed in at 15 pounds highlighted the week. Many of the trips produced fish that averaged over 12 pounds. Early in the week we fished in 25 to 30 foot of water due to cold water and then moved off shore to 80 to 140 foot of water as the water warmed up. When we where fishing in the shallow water most of the fish hit copper (100 ft.)and lead core (3, 5 and 7 color)on the planer boards. As we moved off shore the downriggers (at 40, 50, and 60 foot) and the dipsy divers at (80 and 150 foot of line out) started to produce. The varied from day to day, however a few were very consistent such as the mixed veggie, freakin veggie, NBK, orange crush, Craig's Xmas and Reverse Xmas Stingrays and the wonderbread Nitro. The flashers and flies included the Hot Chip and Pro Chip (green/glow, silver/green, silver/blue and mountain dew). Behind the flashers we pulled Rapture flies (oceana, citron, sour apple and green dude). On Saturday we pulled some "meat rigs" which included a silver flasher, Rapture twinkie rig and a Pro Troll rotating bait head. This set up worked very well producing 10 hits and 4 fish on this rig alone. You should experience this fishing. The salmon are already as heavy as many we caught in the fall last year and should be spectacular by the fall.
