Tom, currents were really strong of Devils Nose in the afternoon on the 10th so I think an upwelling was in the works for later. Good report! Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Nice job in a small boat. Glad to hear your success and the cautious approach of the big O. Good judgement call Mark [ Post made via Android ]

YEHAW!...salmon bustin from a yak saw the surface feed on Tuesday....gulls were on it! Mark [ Post made via Android ]

I think somebody must have incriminating pictures of the Barbie pole mayhem.... [ Post made via Android ]

30 lb flourocarbon. I use seguar about 15 feet long. You can use a spro swivel, or albright knot, or you can use the hollow core braids for The splice, ...matter of preference and familiarity really. [ Post made via Android ]

Flea flicker makes lousy union knots. I like to use loop to loop connections for the flouro to FF. Perfection loop in both and just half hitch the loop in the flouro to the loop in the FF. I don't care for FF because it does not tie well ....20 lb is not bad but 30 is terrible for knots that require twists. No fleas with 30 lb Ande and you can tie a bloodknot or uni to uni for the Floro leader To answer your question about leader length, enough to make a few wraps around the spool on your reel. Then if ya gotta cut off a frey a couple inches you have enough to retie the terminal end and have flouro left to the main line. Match your main line test to leader test for salmon.

Hey, but I never posted anything that detailed....especially the pink undies, thong, speedo, ...Ho's....Victoria Secret stuff....so what you are saying is in yer dreams. I have only mentioned that the Barbie pole you wresled away from me was mean....and you never post the truth about using it. I fought my way out of the changing room in Bass pro, after you locked me in there....took me months, but here I am...no pink undies, all the truck stop Ho keep asking for you, ...specialy the ones at waterloo petro. Couldn't resist stopping there on the way by huh...They have been brainwashed, don't even know me now. Ok so now you tell us you went fishing...and ya caught fish too....good for you...:razz: [ Post made via Android ]

The grinch if he dies his hair green....like Jim Carey was in the movie..."aw never mind, I'm going like this" [ Post made via Android ]

Oh man, why did I leave home to troll the hiway ....Hey but that is a great report. Wish I could have stayed. Hope it lasts til I get back home...2 weeks. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Great! Hope to see you while we are there. THANKYOU! Mark

Good morning fishin there Carl, I did not make it out there this evening, too much to do to get ready for truckin for another two weeks. Keep em snappin! Mark

Nice to see the ladies get the big fish! Mark

Yes ...they scratch around the bottom, and crrrraaaaap all over your boat, ....however I have yet to taste one like chicken. Maybe if I didn't eat the cedar board it was cooked on, I would be swayed to think if it was chicken or not

What Tim said....TWO BEADS [ Post made via Android ]

Great job landing a nice king!...a hook breaking in the boat is a testament to the calamity of luck and skill involved with a landing a truly large salmon. Seems most get that "break" in the water and swim away!...excellently done men! Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Good job Carl, hope to get out a little this afternoon late. Tom, I understand your cautious, wondering, curiosity... there is a perfectly good scientific reason for that....Carl will explain I'm sure. However I can assure you it has nothing to do with a Dichotomous Key....well maybe it does...hmmmm, Let's see...... does it swim...yes does it fly.......yes does it have scales....yes does it have feathers.....no does it smell like fish.....yes does it have wings...no AH HAH!......IT IS FLYING FISH.... 5 fish.. JUMPED AND FLEW INTO THE BOAT!

Nice, we spent most of the afternoon down at the nose and in the same depth, there was plenty of action there. The current started rippin west in the mid afternoon. Even the bubbles were going west at a high rate against the wind from the west. Messed with our long stuff and had to cut back on the spread to go any distance north or south. Mark

Great report, we also noticed a lack of energy in the kings like you mentioned. a 20 pounder never really screamed away but dug deep behind the boat and just shook. the teenagers got out maybe 250 to 300 ft and gave up, no second scream away....strange? Mark

Thanks guys! Oh and I forgot to mention, the 400 copper running a Rhys Davis bait head and Erie Dearie cut herring strip behind a green dot protrol e-chip did take a steel head, not a big one though.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 7/10 Time on Water: 7:30 to 5pm Weather/Temp: sunny calm Wind Speed/Direction: 2 to 10mph west. Waves: pond AM..1 to 2 PM Surface Temp: 74.3 Location: glass house east to Devils nose LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 20+ Total Boated: 16 Species Breakdown: kings, coho, lake trout, steelhead Hot Lure: moonshine RV CRABFACE spoon, all the flasher flys Trolling Speed: 2.0 east..2.7 west..crazy current off the nose. Down Speed: Boat Depth: 100 to 300 Lure Depth: 35 to 90 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Had a great day on the water with Tom (t-con) and Lois fishing east of port from Point Breeze. We set up in front of the glass house in 100 fow and trolled east, moving between 150 fow back to 100. Started setting downriggers with spoons at 40 60 and 90. Action was pretty good as I was setting more lines and was interupted by hits on the spoons already set down. First to go off was the silver NK 28 in green dot with pearl glow that Tom graciously brought for me. It was down 55 and scored a steelhead real quick. Put it back down and went back to setting more lines with the goal to get 8 in the water. It was a challenge as the riggers were firing about every 3 minutes after being reset. We collected a slew of steelhead, and a coho as I was setting other long lines on dipsy and copper. When 9 am rolled around it slowed enough to finally get the full spread out and I was able to stack a couple down outs on the outboard riggers which became star players on kings. They were stacked 30 ft above the ball 90 feet and 70 ft out on a 2.5 setting pulling flasher fly and s/d combos. One took a shot that never released and we looked at it with curiosity, wondering what happened but it never released. We later pulled it to see what was the deal, cause it was not acting right and found the whole rig was missing, including the dipsy. Not sure what happened, thinking the small dipsey was the Target of a king that tried to swallow it and bit the line off ahead of it. Later in the afternoon the 8 lines were running but then noticed the north south troll was a little odd, and the dipsy and copper were running at an angle headed west along with a distinct pitch of the cables in the same direction. The currents were running back west and then caused a couple wrecks on the divers and copper so we trimmed the spread to the down riggers and two dipsy. The pm bite was dominated by kings and steelhead and one nice laker. Kings came on 225 and 275 divers, and 90 95 riggers. Lois aka "QUEEN OF KINGS" nicknamed by Tom, also had the fish of the day for the boat with a nice 20 lb king. Tom had a good spell of teenage kings as well. The fleas were there, but not a big issue for us, as only the last 6 inches were collecting the most. The deeper waters of 300 feet really did not produce other than steelhead which most were returned unharmed. The steelhead were smaller than average and seemed a little thin for some reason out there. The most productive waters were in the 160 to 180 depth for us and we ended the day at 5 with a Laker that said to say HI to FISHINMAN for him. a good mix of fish for the day and great time with friends.
