Fished with Tom from Water Dog mid-day. Set lines close to 2:00 somewhere around 140FOW, 4 riggers, 2 wire divers, no long lines. Outer riggers set with blue silver J-plug & spotted green spinny / proctologist fly 115' down. Inner riggers, SW tipped with wonderbread Brad's cut plug & herring oil down 140' and light line rod with mag frozen seagull down 125'. Mag dipsy with blue holographic spinny / blue bubble fly out 200' and std. dipsey + mag ring out 210' with spoons, stopped the rotation at std. size frozen seagull. The probe down 115' was still at 63 degrees so we pushed out to deeper water. Just past 200FOW we got action. Mag frozen seagull on light line took a big laker that stayed down forcing us to clear lines on the SB side to bring it in the boat. There was a steelhead jumping out of the water behind the LT we were pulling in that we eventually figured out was on the SW rig. Boated that and two more SH came immediately on the J-plug and the blue bubble fly. At that time we had zero lines in the water and were in 235FOW. Got everything back down, turned around and the two dipseys took back to back kings under 10#. Coming back into about 195FOW the blue bubble fly on the dipsey got hit again with another SH. After about an hour and a half of non-stop action it all came to a halt. Pulled lines near 6:00 and came in. Went 7 for 7 with 1 LT, 4 SH and 2 kings. 5 of the 6 rods took fish. No big kings this trip but plenty of fun!

Didn't find much inside last night so we decided to work deep. We fished a 6 rod spread 180 to 280 FOW West of the pier and North where there is some deep water structure. Ran some steelhead and king setups. Tried all troll directions.
There is some warmer water out there. We fished the cold water on the E side, worked though the warm water and worked the cold on the deep side.
Never marked any bait. Marked 2 fish on bottom at 200'. We only had lines down for 3 hours as my fishing buddy decided to go bale hay instead of trying inside. We didn't target trout. So I guess with this trip I can only tell you where not to go.

Thanks for the report. These are very valuable reports as well.

Just wondering, when you run the snap on type weights with weighted line, do you put it on leader end near lure, or rod end on backer? I've just started running lead line and have played with snap weights a couple times.

I would think you’d put it on your backer.

Awesome job! Did you weigh any of those kings?

Motor wouldn’t start at the dock so my plans were partially ruined. So I thought. Used the kicker to get out to 60 fow. Fished north and then south between 60 and 70. Lots of bait. Lots of marks. Cold water (55 degrees down 50).
Got a 20 lb king on a spin doctor out 120 on a high diver.
Got a 5 lb lake trout on a meat rig out 95 on a low diver. Fished for about 2 hours.
At least you were rewarded for your efforts. Nice work!

Nice job!! Crappy time for our boat to have motor issues, now that the silver are finally showing back up.

Nice work! We lost a few of those in that area on Friday and Saturday. Broke off 2 meatrigs and a spoon. Bent the hook on another and lost her on the surface. There are some awesome fish out there right now!

Fishoak, I think that was us this morning by you. We hooked into a 24lb king in 115 on a Musselhead Tackle meatrig Emerald Shiner in color with a Kevin’s Mistress Spin Dr on a 300’ copper. I had barely set the road out, put it in the holder and the fish hit. You gotta love that! We had a lot of hits without hookups this morning as well. Maybe cohos slapping at our lures? All hits came on flasher/flies and meatrig this morning. No hits on spoons or our riggers.

Great work!! Awesome to see some coho show up in a catch.

Great work and report! I know I will definitely run a flasher off a rigger ball as an attractor the next time out to see how much of a difference it makes. I’ve got to imagine it helps.

Are you saying you also find those kings out deep or steelhead only?
Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
We found a ton of good size kings out in 250 feet plus last Summer.
