    Way to go, nice story, hope the hand heals quickly. Winter isn't here yet, there time for more stories.

    Could be, certainly acts like it. I reported it to forum administrator. I've blocked Eric and his posts from my reports. It will show up as an ignore post. You can still see what his post was if you press the down arrow. The administrator will have to kick eric off the GLF. Goodbye Eric

    My downrigger has a fishawk probe connected to it, which gives me the ball speed, temperature and depth. So looking back at this morning the temperature at the ball at 60ft was 55.9°, spd was 2.4 and I was in 80fow. The remarks about other fish (60-75 fow) was in general that I noticed where I saw more marks(fish) than in deeper water. If you look at the surface to 82ft depth under the port sheldon bouy you will notice very little change over the whole depth range but at approx 50ft down you will see a approx 5° , change in water temperature from the surface, that's where I stuck one of my downriggers. The other one 5-10ft higher or lower depending depth and temperature changes on the deeper one. My riggers got bit 4 times. They just didn't return the fish of the size and type and wanted. The big waves didn't help my situation either. The probe(fishawk) doesn't match exactly to the bouy because sea conditions and where my boat is as it travels. Hope this helps you Eric.

    Short hard trip today, 8-9:30am, fished 60-90fow. 2/4, unfortunately the two were a small steelie and a small sheephead threw both back. Lost a RV std bloody nose when on of the flybys took it with him. Waves gave me a short trip once they became a a steady 3-5ft. Lots of marks 60-75 fow, but the waves were bouncing me around pretty good. Had to quit. It got to precarious to maintain stable footing. Evidently the wind didn't read the forecast. Glow Tangerine std and Atomic Melon std caught the only two I brought to the boat. Both fish came off the downriggers 50 to 60 ft down. Ran 5C and 7C at different times, but no hits.

    Tough fishing today, 110-150fow 2 for 2. One 5#-10oz steelhead and one year old king (small). Thermocline went from 50-47°down and pass a 100ft. Had a few chasers but the steelhead really took my braid diver at 11:36 am and banged it (screamed!!!!). It was a great sound. It had a mag RV Dancing Anchovy lure. It was set on 3 with 142ft out in 121fow. Puts it about 50ft down. The smaller king came off a rigger with a bloody nose mag at 9:47 am in 122 fow down 92, ball temp was 49.9°. No buddy wanted to bite any of the small spoons I ran today, so I switched to mags. FYI- those long arcs on my vertical graph are my downrigger cables being reflected by the the sonar as I make 'S' turns on my course and not fish or bait. I added a bottom picture of an earlier date to show salmon, laketrout, coho or steelhead chasing the lure through the downriggers for a comparison of the different arches. Lake was flat, 5 mph winds. Saw 4 other boats out from the sliders to tunnel park. Had a feathered friend watch my line for an hour. I think he was telling me to change the lure.

    Fished 7-11am 45-69fow, 2 for 2, both small kings, 2 yr old salmon, 5#-4oz and 6#-6oz. Both downrigger hits, on N and S troll 2.2-2.8 mph@ ball. One on GLT Dolphin mag the other on a Bloody Booger mag. Both fish caught on rigger ball at 24-26 ft down in 50-54 fow. 1st one was at 7:30am the other at 9:02am. Ball temp was 49° and 50° at depth caught. Ran 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C and 7C, 1 diver and both riggers. Only hits were on the same rigger (stb) with 2 different lures. I was hoping to get a steelhead and a coho. Marked alot fish in the 40-60ft range. Looks like its the start of the small fish season. The last big fish I caught late in the fall was a 12.8# steelhead on an 8C on Oct30, 2022. I wonder if I can break that this year? With the tight thermocline I wasn't sure how the day would turnout. But it was very nice out there.

    What great action and excitement catching and pulling those beasts in!
  10. littleboat
    You did Good! Congratulations! Nice catch while it calm down last night.
  11. littleboat
    Nice size king for your effort. You're right currents can be a real challenge.
  12. littleboat
    It had very red meat. All are going to my friends smoker. All done! Used a "dry rub" process.

    Love the late bites, always boost the home front when least expected, also 3 extra rods help. Sounds like you may have a new fishing partner.
  15. littleboat
    Great bite Reel-y-Hooked! A complete limit by 7:03am...Amazing!....Congratulations!
  16. littleboat
    Two man limit..Great!

    How long is the lead on your wire divers?
  18. littleboat
    Great catches! Way to pull them in and reposition yourselves. You need another cooler! Keep it going!
  19. littleboat
    Looks like some nice size kings.
  20. littleboat
    Great start to a week. It gets deep really fast. I've always enjoyed that port and camping nearby. What brand of meat were you using?
  21. littleboat
    Nice night for fishing, nice coho, surprised with that fishfinder picture more weren't biting....what's up with that? Solo fishing is certainly a challenge. 3 rods vs 6, 9 or more change the results.
  22. littleboat
    This one and the next one are for my friend's new smoker.

    Quite bouncy today, fished 90-150, best depth was 105-115 Went 1 for 5, picked up 11#-5oz king in 110fow, on rigger dwn 60, with a silver streak hot lobster mag spoon, 2.3 sog, ball 59.9°, SE trl at (7:48am).

    Wow, way to go!

    What a rough fishing experience today, a forecast that called for light winds and 1ft waves. It turned out to be 3-5ft waves that continued with no break. I had to call it at 7:30am because it got to dangerous for solo fishing for me. But I was determined to get something and I went 1 for 3 with a 12#-6oz king on a RV GLK Dolphin spoon I just bought yesterday. I only could put 2 riggers in water because of the conditions. Anyway got him on a N trl @2.6sog, ball temp 57.1°, dwn 57.5ft in 79.4fow at 6:42am. I crawled back to harbor still catching spray every other wave. Nice to be out again... I think?
