    I think I'm done for a while. My coppers are all spliced and my leaders are getting really short. Off to Canada next week to chase eyes.

    Fished starting mid sliders working south in 90-120 fow from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. At 7:30 we started heading in shallower. From then we stayed in 85-75 fow the rest of the night. There were bait balls for miles. Marking a few bigger fish, but not too many. About 15 minutes after sunset, the 150 copper fires with a plug. Then the diver back 110 fires with moonshine crabface. Got both to the back of the boat at the same time... plug fish rolled and spit the hook but we did net the one on the spoon. Both setups fired again a few times, and we picked up a 2 lb king on the downrigger with a plug also. Overall ended 4/7 with a steelhead, a coho, a mature 6-7 lb king, and the small king. The fish we lost were about 5-10 lb range - no big ones this time. I had the LiveScope down and it was pretty fun watching the bait balls lift up off the bottom as it got dark. When we left at 9:30 the bait had spread out and we were watching hundreds of little marks in the 20-40 ft range swim past.

    Tried the harbor. Was loaded with fish but they weren't much interested in biting. Warm water.

    Out solo in 600 fow now. Set lines about 2 hours ago. Marking a few in the 40-60 range. Seen some steelhead swimming around on the surface. No hits yet. Working my way north to Point Betsie - plan on working into West Platte Bay

    Based on fish stocks, Holland Saugatuck and South Haven would have the most returning kings this year.

    It's some sort of Pro King. Green scum line I think. I run bunch of the Pro King flashers.
  23. jdh
    Fished solo straight out in 240+ fow. Found a scum line and temp break out there and chased in and out of it for about an hour. Managed to go 6/8 and limit out with 5 coho and a pink. Damage was done using 3 color, 5 color with spoons, and downrigger down 50 with a green flasher fly.

    They were about 15 inch fish. The two I brought home were mature fish. Eggs in one and milt sacs in the other.
