Port Sheldon, 24/May

Left the dock about 7:30AM and headed out to test some dipsy settings. Seems like the Lure Jensen dipsies run a little deeper with the same setting and amount of line out. On a setting of 1.5 on wire the Lure Jensen would hit at 155 out with a 2.5 MPH troll, we changed the setting on the Walker to 1 and it finally hit at 175. We were in 72FOW.

Set up in 180FOW and trolled south west and steadily started catching fish. We didn't mark much (not sure the graph is working correctly). The best setup was a low diver set 180 back with a Pro Troll E-chip flasher and a mixed veggies---took three kings and missed on another. We also caught fish on the 300 copper rig with a Corries Bait. After taking 6 fish we decided to check the 300' range since there was some talk on the radio about it being good.

Fished for about an hour before connecting with the first fish. We ended up catching 3 nice Steelhead on double orange crush on full core. We picked up a couple more kings, a Coho, and a big laker (about 15 pounds) that we let go.

Although the action was not fast and:clapping: ferious it was a beautiful day to be on the lake---returned to the launch about 5:00PM.
