We fished up north today and both trips yesterday. The water is warm all the way down to 90 feet. Mature Kings don’t seem to care about the warm temps. Early in the morning and late in the evening they are hitting plugs for us on 7 & 10 color cores and 175 & 200 coppers. Best plugs have been Natural Glow, Lucky Charms, Wonder Bread and Pearl Zebra Dreamweaver Captain’s Choice Cut Plugs . This morning the Lucky Charms on a 175 copper went 3 times. We have been running a 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly down 90 on our chute rigger first and then switching to a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig down 98 later. The Pearl Zebra Cut Plug has been good on an out down 55 down and a Lucky Charms 56 down on the other out down on our first pass. After that we have been switching to Spin Doctors and Flys or Spin Doctors and meat rigs. Our best rig the past 2 days has been a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig. We have been taking fish on it on a 400 copper, the chute rigger, an out down set at 84 feet and a low wire diver out 180. After the morning flurry we have been moving out to deeper water and fishing deeper in the water column, but we are still leaving a couple plugs up on 10 color cores or 175 coppers. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
