We fished Friday-Sunday. Friday afternoon trip 3 cohos just east of Wilson 30-40ft of water. Saturday we ran to the can and caught 6 lakers and 7 cohos but no kings. Sunday we went to the can again and caught 1 laker (22lbs6oz) good enough for 4th place in the LOC.
Tim,
Yes the beefy bag only lasted one season. One of the main straps wore out in the middle of the strap and most of the seams are coming out. I will contact Amish out fitters.

I have a Baha Cruiser 286 Sportfish with an uninsulated infloor fishbox. How should I insulate it? It is removable and has a drain that is connected to a macerator pump.
My probe rigger reads about 10-12 ft shorter then the actual depth. Does anybody else have this problem? I discovered this when I was trying to scrape some kings off the bottom.
Fished the bar on 4/18. No kings but lots of large lakers from the bar east to a couple miles past 4 mile. 80-85 ft of water was best. Lakers came 35-80 ft down and green was the color of the day. We went 12/16. We had 4 between 13-18 lbs. They are fun to catch in the cold water. Sunday was a blow-off day.
Thank you everyone. I will work the shallows for browns and cohos and if they are not biting I will slide out to deeper water for the lakers. I will post a report next week.
Heading to Wilson for my first trip of the year. Wondering if I should fish for brownies and cohos around Wilson or head to the bar. They are catching salmon out of Port Dalhouisie. Any info. would be appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you Chromeslayer. I was the gentlemen you were talking to on Friday at the Slippery Sinker. Thank you for the info. on the Innovator SD with the B fly. Took a 26 lb and 20 lb king on that combo on saturday.
I tried the thermocell and it kept about 90 % of the flies away. Word of caution, do not run it under the hardtop without ventilation will give you a sore throat.
Wondering what everybodies favorites are for inshore browns in the spring. I have had good luck with NK 28 Money and Green alewife pirate run down 5 feet and back 50.
I just upgraded to a DR. Do you think I could connect to the probe with a cannon termination kit? I want to be able to remove the probe. I use these on all my downriggers.
This site lets you design your own protroll flashers. The site has been down for over one week. Does anybody know why? I wanted to order some flashers that were hot last season.
Thank you
I am running big jon electric downriggers. Is there any problem running the 13 lb. torpedos off of these? Where can I purchase them? I could not find them on atommik's website
Thank you
