FBD

Saturday was hit or miss, Sunday was mostly miss from what I heard. Sometimes coho and even browns don't mind a brisk troll, but usually after the water warms up.

1-2 colors. Then I spend a lot of time in shallow. But you'd be amazed how many out of temp fish there are up high year round.

Most people have pared down riggers to 2-3 per boat. I'd run a pair, one per side, up the gunwale about 3' from the stern. This leaves each back corner open to net fish.

Keep them coming. And as a guy that puts bands on geese every spring, I'll warn you they do not take kindly to being netted, but that's a lesson the kids may have to learn on their own :)

But rewarding when you string it together and finally wail on them.

That was me, beach to 40'. Two trips out there one coho. Last year we were limiting on Lakers with bonus fish about every trip.

Fished +/- 1 mile north and south from 4-20' with the usual mix of sticks plugs and spoons. Water was 57, clear, little debris. NW 1' chop wind switched to NE and some SOB was grilling and I could smell it. Rained. Wasn't a good time. Never moved a board. I'd say it was good to be out, but really, it wasn't.

Best report I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.

Trying to remember what year I had 1256# on 171 fish in October. Usually add a couple hundred more # in Lakers if we can get out from Thanksgiving to New Years.

I run mine in Excel and can sort / filter or pivot chart by any column. Most handy and I've used it to shut down more than one person that's called bs on a post. One thing with steel late in the year. Find one hit that area hard.

Ouch.

I've seen kings take 4-5 weeks to get to Hamilton / Allegan. Coho, like overnight.

Looks like it should flip again soon. Rehearsal and wedding this weekend.

My ten year old seven pound outdoor cat bas been giving me the stink eye when I get home, as I've been giving away the fish and not cleaning them. Still drag the cooler across the lawn to rinse it out. She still follows me and then stares.
