Fished north today. Surface temp was 57.9. It was 53.8 70 feet down on our Fish Hawk. We ran into a smaller class of fish today. We have been catching some of them our last few trips, but we had trouble connecting with the bigger Kings today. Most of our bites came off our downriggers. Starboard out down set at 85 had a SS Green Hulk and a SS Half Green Jeans stacked 10 feet above it. The chute rigger set at 120 had an 11″ White Slick Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly stacked with a SS Half Green Jeans. All our bites on that were on the SS stacker until we moved out to deeper water. Port out down set at 105 had a pair of SS Half Green Jeans with the top bait stacked 20 feet above the main bait. It went several times and took a double on the same rod once. A 250 copper with a Super Slim Half Wonder Bread went twice. A 3oo copper with a mag Fuzzy Bear Soda Spoon took a little bigger fish. A 350 copper with a SS Half Green Jeans went a couple time. We turned out on a northwest troll to deeper water.
We took a Lake Trout on the port out down set at 150 feet on the SS Half Green Jeans stack. Our biggest fish was a Laker that took our 11″ White Slick Paddle on the chute rigger 200 feet plus down. We were getting ready to pull lines when our chute rigger down deep hit a big King.
It put up a hard fight before getting off about 50 feet behind the boat, a real heartbreaker. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire, Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and pull our coppers and lead cores with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.
