Report from 6-3-26
Water temps 50-51 surface. Down 40 feet the temp was 47.
Left the pier heads at 4 am and was setup in 80 FOW about 6 miles south of town on a southeast heading.
Lines in at 4:30 am and by 7:15 I went something like 6 for 12 with 2 coho and 2 big steelhead in the box. Released a small coho and small steelhead.
Best action was in 120-140 fow but I was marking a decent amount of kings from 80-100 fow.
Decided to head in shallow and see if I couldn't jig up a king to fill out my limit!

Memorial Day weekend report-
Planned to fish all weekend but didn’t have to!
8 for 8 on Saturday: 7 coho 1 large Steelhead.
Started a few miles south of power plant and continued south. Getting old… no crazy 3am alarm…left slip at 11am. Zigzagged from 100-125fow 108 for some reason seemed to be “the spot”
We ran three main approaches; Downrigger, Dipsey, Leadcore all of what was targeted around 40/45 ft of depth. First thing I always do is throw a fish hawk temp gauge down on a downrigger ball- my dad and I noticed 44* at 50fow and 46* at 45fow. From that decided to try to have majority of our lures sit around the thermocline (change of temp) our theory was successful.
Mainly ran coho set up; Orange dodger with mixed colors of peanut flies. Dark blue/purple & packer green/gold were hottest. All approaches took fish- DR, Dipsey, LC.
Good luck!

Fished this AM only 4 trailers at the launch didn’t have much for marks till we got back into 110 fow got a double 2 year old kings that’s was it. Seemed to mark most fish at 75’ down. Winds shifted more out of the north and we bailed. Surface temp was 66 degrees
Fished the morning of 8/12 with Problem Child Fishing Charters. Down riggers, dipsey divers and boards all produced fish on a mix of spoons and flasher flies. 1 laker, 2 coho and the rest kings. Our 12 year old grandson had a trip to remember. Ended up 15 for 16 with 2 drive byes on boards.
