Fished 5:30-10am, stayed just inside of 80fow, 2 for 2, king 13.6# and a coho 6.2#. Both full of alewives and eggs.

Ran drs,150,170, 210 coppers and new ninja 124 diver.

1- King, 13.6#, hulk mag spn, DR ball depth 46ft, W trl, 2.4 sog, ball temp 55.4 , 78.4 fow(6:15am)
 
2-Coho, 6.2#, 5 eye std on slider, DR ball depth 46ft, N trl, 2.6sog , ball temp 52.7, 67.6 fow (7:22am)
 
Lost my hulk mag when swivel broke off at slider
 
Lots of sea fleas, 1-3 ft waves, surf temp 63, wind 10-19mph up and down alot. Very strong currents today. Fishhawk really helped BIG difference between surface currents and ball speeds.

I was by myself until the 1st fish and then every boat that passed me on there way out came back to keep me company. Normally I don't fish the weekends. But I've been sitting on land to long. Wrist is getting better, but still weak.

Glad you hand is on the mend and can handle a rod.  Two very nice fish.  Appears the lake did not lay down at all from last night.  I ran North for 2 1/2 hours from Saugy to Holland to be close to port at sunset.  Didn't want to run full throttle at dusk in the chop.  The water fleas seam to be early this year, no?  I was unable to trip some of the Ninja slide divers with all the pods on the lines.  Hope you have a backup Hulk Mag - that spoon is money!

That's one lure I always keep a spare as you suggest. I had the ninja set too light, so I snugged it up a little. Waiting to see what size fish triggers it.
