Very nice reward for your effort Ed. We gave the rough water a try yesterday morning out of port Sheldon and had to quit at 8:30 as my 1st mate got sick. We did manage to boat 2 and  lost 3 in a row. Green spoons and blue/white spin docs with green flies or meat were taking hits. Riggers, divers, and boards all took hits fishing 40’ to 90’ down.

Nice catch! Good effort with good results. Love those extra lures.

Good work guys. I went out this morning as well. Pretty similar results. 

Solo Holland 7/21 am 2-4

6:00 am, 15 lb king, rigger down 60 ft in 100 FOW, mag ms green jeans

6:35 am, miss, same rigger down 60, 120 FOW, same spoon

7:00 am, 5 lb coho, dipsy 3 setting back 150 ft, 95 fow, mag ms happy meal

7:15 am, smaller king lost at boat, rigger down 75 ft, meat rig

Went out to 150 fow, pretty sporty out there. Called it at 8:30. 
 

Talked to a guy at the cleaning station who had 6 nice kings. Said he fished 90-120 fow but just 35 ft down took the hits all early in the day.

nice work guys and Seafoam either you got a small profile cooler or that one is a Beast

Things might change, but looks like I'm going to sit this night shift out.  Don't feel like fighting the north wind today.

[Aaron Nusbaum]

I'm eyeing tomorrow morning, really want to get out but I'm not sure if I trust it to lay down overnight. NOAA says waves around a foot tomorrow but they've been unreliable all year

Seagull wind forecast shows windy day out of the north.  NOAA calling for SE winds.  Another wind app calling for 15-20 knots out of SSW.

That’s a lot of wind direction options JDH!  One might be right. Lol

2MD:  lol. It’s a small cooler that fits under a seat!

Might as well harvest some kings then!

Pug for the win!

My compliments to all the break of day salmon slayers heading out not sure what the morning will bring.  Morning fishing therapeutic if it is flat.  Chunky seas just ruin the morning vibe on a get up early morning float.  I prefer to roll my dice on golfing at day break.  The hard turf is more predictable even if my driver is not

I think you're right. I should have hit my shots low and into the wind yesterday and gone golfing.
