Started this morning in 45 off of Bradford quiet until we hit about 60fow pick up one and then the show started in 90 out to 115. Worked those depths for the rest of the morning. Off the water by 845a.
Ran 7 rods, 3 guys, 16 for 22. Hit a double for our last fish. 15 Cohos 1 Steelhead. Orange dodgers and peanut flies took most hits but two rods were out with spoons taking fish as well. Our gear was focused in the top 30' of the water column.
Great morning, lots of fun! -ThunderSmelt-

27 for 30 today. (6 rods / 3 hours). Had some rookies in the boat today and they did very well remembering the routine. Everyone caught on quickly (they had no choice). Went 7 for 7 in deeper water off the can in no time at all, then the bite died for about 15 min. I pulled rods an instead of trolling deeper... I fired up the big one and boogied to deeper water. I believe it saved the morning. I owe a few guys! Fish stayed incredibly buckled up today.
60' - 65' then 85' - 145' 2 riggers - 1 SWR down 35' dagger nut / 1 flat 30' back 20' down (best rod of the day) dogger nuts 2 dispy - down 25' and 35'dogger nut (also really good) 2 boards - 1 - 3 color / 1 - 7 color
Later put riggers down 75'+ SWR and still caught them. Color... who cares (double aqua / green / white / little boy blue / purple). Some flys got torn up and I just put on whatever I grabbed and it made little difference.

I have never fished from my boat on the big pond. But I have trolled with other people so I know my way around enough. I do not have my boat set up for trolling. I was wondering if there is any good spots to jig or can I go by the discharge and use spawn/shiners. Just wanted to take a break from bass fishing and try something different. Not looking for anyone's HOT SPOT just wanted to try something new. Any info would be great thanks and good luck everyone.

Montiho- Havent been out since before that big NE blow, but before that, we were catching em almost everywhere. In the gaps, by the green can, and all the way out to 70 fow or deeper. My best guess is that the wind scattered the fish. Waters very stirred up and dirty for quite a ways out. Maybe 60 fow or better? If I were heading out today, Id probably run out to where that water starts to clear up a bit and work that edge. You never know though, was catching em in some pretty dirty water last week, but clean water was much closer in. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Heading out today around 5pm for chohos; first trip of the year!!  We are planning on fishing the upper 20 of water but we really dont know where to start. Should we shoot out to deep water or just start right of the gap and head west/north/south ? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

1 for 1 (6 rods / 4 hours). 1 - Coho. Worst trip in some time. I went from 25+ (Bender)last week, to 9 (MKE) a few days ago, to 1 (MKE). We could not follow our plan to run to Bender where we have been doing so well due to thick fog (it was thicker than Clam Chowder). The Bender Launch (for those of you who don't follow the Bender thread) is now formally being dredged. It was just too unsafe to make a 10+ mile run in darkness and fog. We knew we would struggle when we had to stay around MKE. Nothing in any gaps (except bait), inside turn of green can (nothing / just bait), or beyond can (nothing / not even bait). We took time today to hook up my Aqua-View 760 cz to the downrigger cable. REALLY COOL. Trust me you need one! You could see everything including masses of bait go by just off the bottom on the camera. You could clearly see your dogger and fly 30' back off the ball. You could see alewife in schools just off the bottom zooming by your lure as you ran thru them. I can tell you one thing... when Jason Woda says 1.9 mph (depth raider speed), he means it. At 2.1 mph the dogger was flipping over and not running the way it was designed to. Yes, when fish are jumping in the boat they will eat anything at any speed , even a dogger and nut going light speed. It was clear after a short time of watching the camera why he preaches this speed. At 1.7 it was running side to side but poorly. The nut behind was sluggish. 1.9 was perfect! I highly recommend you get a camera for your rigger. They are near impossible to use when the fishing is good, but today was a good example of a day to run one see why most are struggling in MKE (not a coho on the screen). Fishing is terrible north right now but the camera keep me awake and wanting more. It was the only reason we put in the time this morning. Otherwise, without the "video game", we would have been off long before we found out we couldn't get south.

Made it out last night - and boy were they on fire. Started just outside of north gap in 30FOW. Trolled due south, fish all the way to the green can. Nothing but orange stuff. Not even sure how many hits we had (20?) Had some newbies aboard and lost quite a few (maybe 7-
Boards did the work, followed by dipsies, and 1 rigger hit. Get out there.

Hit the big pond for the first time this morning. I launched at 7:45 and was the only rig in the lot. Washed everything for 2.5 hours in 40-60 fow from the north gap to the green can. Went 0/1 on a black/green ladderback spoon down 35 on the rigger. Not even a bump on anything else. He managed to do the coho shuffle and get off just before getting to the net. Great weather out there, but no fish found. No other anglers either. Saw a coho caught off the break wall. Good luck out there.

Took the boat out Saturday evening more or less for a shake out run. Lines set about 6:30pm in 40FOW due east of the north gap.
Had a double and went 1 for 2 coho. Back to the dock by 8pm. One hit on a rigger 12 feet down 15 ft back, and the other on a dipsey 20 LOC
The boat shake out found out the ant-siphon valve was cracked and causing WOT to fall flat and die.
Hopefully can get out this weekend.
