8/8 Port Sheldon

[DKuiper]

Launched at 5:30 AM Wednesday at Port Sheldon. It was choppy and tough to fish in. Really stayed that way most of the day, altho there was a couple of hours like 10 to noon that it did calm down a bit. Picked up after that. We went 2 for 6, with 3 of the misses just rods straightening out. Coho slapping at the lure, maybe? 1 king at 11# in 82 FOW on carmel dolphin down 55 (she flat destroyed that spoon), one coho off dipsy back 165 on 2 with spinnie/glow squinchee fly. in 105 FOW. Heard several people on 68 with some decent catches, 8 for one boat in 110 FOW, one boat with 4 in 75 FOW. We sure never could really get anything going. Tried full core with no takers, had 2 dipsys out most of the day with one miss and one fish, rest were on riggers which we ran from 45 down to 90 now and then. Used spoons, J-plugs, fish catchers, coyote flashers but nothing really turned them on. Marked most fish between 80 and 110. Wrapped 'em up at 1 PM. Ended up about 3 miles north of stacks. Some one out there had fishhawk or other probe and said the temp break was at 68' in 110 FOW.

Thanks for the report Duane. Are you running sliders on the ords that popped and nobody was home?

[DKuiper]

Yeah, we had sliders on all the riggers, and I kind of guess that is what got swatted and missed. Sometimes they get way to much slack before someone gets the rod.

I was out there as well, in the p.m. we started off real slow,like 3 hours with nothing,then about a half hour before sunset things started to happen,we took a nice king in 115 fow on a north troll with a bloody nose glow spoon 50 down on a rigger,lost another nice one about 20 ft behind the boat on a 2 tone yellow glow spoon(don't know the name)took another small coho on the bloody nose again and we had a few more knock offs went 2 for 5 in bout a hour,as the lead cores have been dead we didn't run any and it was rough anyway,the dipseys took one hit but nobody home.
