After missing the entire month of August it felt good to get back on the water. We went 6 for 8 with all fish being caught between 6 and 9:30. We fished a mile north of the piers always staying north of the pack. First fish came at 6:00 on blue spin doctor and blue fly on dipsy 80 back on 1 in 52 fow. Fish 2 came at 6:40 on black and white moonshine spoon 54 down on rigger in 55 fow. Fish 3 came at 6:50 on pink and white glow J plug 45 down on rigger in 61 fow. Fish 4 came at 7:10 on blue spin doctor blue fly on dipsy 85 back on 1 in 72 fow. Fish 5 came at 8:45 on the black/white moonshine spoon 45 down on rigger in 47 fow. Fish 5 came on wonderbread J plug on a dipsy 65 back on 3 in 40 fow. All fish were kings 7 to 16 pounds. Not much radio traffic even though there were a lot of boats out. Water surface temp was 63. We hope to be out tomorrow morning.
