I saw a small window to get out today, before the wind blew the rest of the week away. 3/6 all kings, 10#-15oz, 6#-10oz and 6#-7oz., between 5:44-6:13am, all on south troll, sog at ball 2-7 to 2.9, ball temp 50-55.1°, ball depth 35-45ft dwn, 69-79fow, Moonshine lures flounder pdr mag, jackal mag and burnt toast mag. 170C and DRs took the fish. No bite on diver or sliders. Pulled lines as the waves were building to 3ft and starting to bounce me around.

Fished 5-10:30 am, mostly 83-90fow.1 for 3 on fish and 0 for 1 on seagulls. Smoky fishing, I think it had a negative effect on the fish but positive effect on seagulls. They were dive bombing my lures trying to pick them up and out of the water. When I let out my downrigger lead, they would attack it, pick it up, flap their wings for lift off, but crash back into the water with lure in their mouth. One did it several times before giving up. I think he got hooked and was trying just like a steelie to shake the hook off. Only 1 fish today brought on-board. Lost 2 others when my snap swivels broke on the sliders losing the main lures not the slider. 1 king, 15#-2oz, 6:04am, MS Mag Flounder pdr,, 2.7sog, sw trl, 52.8° at ball, 43ft dwn, in 83.4fow Ran 150C, 250ws, 300ws, hi & low divers and two riggers on N & S trolls, zigzanging. My probe batteries ran out right after I just setup. I was very busy replacing batteries, and lines with broken swivels instead of fishing. Lots of smoke today, wore a mask at times. Peeled a large part of my skin by unprotected edges on my net. Definitely a fix coming for that. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

smoke looks like a little haze. Fish biting. 15lb-2oz... breaking my gear. Fish are really biting hard. Smoke has gotten worst definitely can smell and taste it Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Great triple, Great day! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Great catch sounded like a good evening. Must have landed on pod in your major hookup.

What a wild ride! Good fishing though. Congrats.! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Nice fish just in the nick of time! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Night bite is the best! What was the weight of the biggest fish you caught? Did the bugs take the night off?

I one I caught today had a very nice dark red color to the meat. So I know it will have a nice taste to it. But I understand what you are saying with the two different colors and textures.

Fished 6:30am-9:30, 80-120fow, finally got out. Alot of boats out. Lost an hour recalibrating my autopilot. Not alot of big fish marks, mostly little guys. Flat calm though. But the flys were ugly, biting badly. Went 1 for 3, one fly by, one lost when it jumped the hook by my outdrive. The only fish I was able to get on board (Steelhead) came at 8:36am, on a watermelon std moonshine spoon, off a rigger slider. trolling N @3.0 mph, 53 dwn in 109fow. Small steelie 6#-1oz Not much of a day. I HATE those files!
