Fished this morning. Started in 110 worked our way out to 230 fow. Went 14 for 18. Mostly kings and coho. Did manage 2 lakers and a steelhead. Caught fish on riggers,dipsys,300 copper,150 copper, full core and eight color. However the copper boated most of the fish. Blue dolphin,modified blue dolphin did most of the damage. Also caught fish on NBK and white spin doctors with blue bubble fly. All and all not a bad day to be on the water.

Nice job on the catching!

Its good to hear that the fishing has picked up at most of the ports.

Here's a pic of the fish from yesterday. You only see 13 in the pic as I thought the wife had already taken the picture before i started filleting.

Csootman,

Were you the one we were talking with at the Benton Harbor boat ramp yesterday morning? We were the one launching the 24’ Thompson Hardtop. It sounds like it was a good day for everyone. We went strait out to 100’ and set lines then headed SW. The catching began in 125’ through 175’. Downriggers set from 35’-60’, 300’ of 30# and 45# copper, 10 color lead seem to work the best. Speed was 2.0-2.2. Stinger NBK and Carmel Dolphin, tin can dodger with green/glow fly did most of the damage. Finished at 11:00 with a 4 man 5 fish limit. Great day on the water!
