We started on 5/2 with the shakedown for the year and everything worked well and we managed a mixed bag of fish consisting of browns, coho, a laker, and a couple kings. We were trolling west of Port in 8-25fow with sticks off the boards and spoons off 2 riggers. Everything took fish. Highlight of the day was tripling up on kings with just 2 of us on the boat and no autopilot. We Did get 2 of them in the net and biggest was 16lbs. Definitely a nice start to the season.
We fished 5/8 and 5/9 west of port again and the NE winds made for tough fishing. Same mixed bag of browns, cohos, a laker or 2 and a few kings. Couldn't find any weigh able fish but had a great time with friends. Natural colored sticks were hot and black and white spoons out produced others. Deepest fish was in 30 fow and shallow was 8fow. Congrats to all who placed in the derby.
