I'd like to know the mortality rate of Kings that are brought up from cold water to warm water, that would be interesting.

Also, the lessoning of the Federal lake trout plantings would be a good start too.

Kings often feed in warm water so I doubt it kills them.

Would you rather have a couple more years of good fishing and destroy the fishery or take drastic measures now to try and give it a future?

This idea goes against the DNRs plan to reduce salmon numbers. The idea is to hopefully allow alewives to rebound. Less fish is the plan right now and reducing limits or increasing size minimums goes against this.

Good reason to always let someone know where you are and when you should be back. 5 days missing before it was reported. very sad

Whoever says not to put it in oil has never flushed a crankcase. Not only is it safe it works great.

Source: I'm a mechanic. Also read the dang can.....

The verdict is I never had a spoon bite but did manage a few steelhead on riggers with the mag sized green mamba glow

What a pig laker nice job

Nice job thanks for report

Late start around 630ish. Setup north of sliders in 110 on southwest.

Ran west/east trolls following wave direction between 120 and 150.

Ended 2 for 4. Coho and laker

Started off with paddles meat and plugs but couldn't get anything going.

Switched to a moonshine crab face on diver back 200 set 2

Slowed down for a change from 2.5 at the ball to 2.0 and diver immediately goes off landing coho. Kept speed to 1.8-2.0 and worked that mark east and west

Took 3 more hits, 2 of same diver with crab face and 1 on diver with black mamba reel fish flasher and John king 2 green fly chrome meat rig back 220 set 2.

Lots of marks in 120 to 130. Scattered marks out to 150 and some big bait balls up high.

Could be related to a lot of bait in that area? I've heard lots of ales in stomachs

Are you looking at open lake or nearshore? Nearshore is almost always wrong

Forget the meat put a poofster or oceana fly behind it and keep it 10 off the bottom right now for big fish

Tap starter lightly while cranking it

For strips I like the ballyhoo premium strips but for most of it I buy blue or green label herring and brine my own

Also John king has a video on his site of how they are supposed to roll. It helps a lot

More like 2, at least that's what my John kings work best at. I run some big weenie but I don't like them much because they roll too fast and tight. I like the slow hypnotic roll on my rigs.

Boats N 'Hos is a go

I've had to pull my boat into the dock very very fast to cut off someone launching in the retrieve lane. When the jump out of their truck and look at me I yell "R E T R I E V E SPELLS RETRIEVE". Must be something about a 6'3 250lb man with a large beard that gets the point thru....

I run 10 to 15 foot leaders of 20lb floro seagar on my dipsys

I've read that small shrimp like creatures come up to feed which draws bait which draws fish.

Get metal pins. Your pin may have been worn and had a sharp edge. Happened to me

Yeah a bit deeper my guess is 120 to 150 find the thermocline

If I remember correctly the DNR aims to have average adult king size around 17 to 18 pounds.

Nice job out there. It was beautiful once it calmed down

I'm in. Left you a message.
