Autopilot is pretty much a necessity to keep the boat going straight. I rest the net on my swim platform until the fish is close to the boat. Hold the rod with right hand and dip the net with my left while pulling the fish forward. Usually, the fish ends up in the boat. Sometimes, well, they get away!

The wife and I hit the water around 10am and trolled from the beach to about 20 fow all the way to the state line and back only catching one coho. Once we got back by the pierhead we swung out deep to get around all the mud. That's when we started catching! We finished our 2 person limit between 40-45 fow fishing up high, all coho's. Orange spinnies/peanut flies and orange with black squiggles thin fish did the damage. We ran two small size dipsy divers set on 3 back 12' and 50' respectively. Those were the two hottest rods. The other 4 lines were high lines on planer boards.

You beat us. We set up in 70fow around 7am and trolled out to 225 and back to about 100 again. Not a bump. Marked very few fish. Beautiful morning though!
