Thanks again guys for all the kind words - be safe out there! Reelintense (awesome name BTW) - it's very fascinating that you had a much different bite (i.e. divers) than us. I wonder if it is speed related or the rest of my spread changed things? Nonetheless, it was a day of deep presentation for us. I also added a video link above Be safe and good luck to all, Chris

Fished with my buddy Mike and my brother Kevin, from 6 AM til 10:30. Today was a great day and a day to fish deeper presentations. All action waas on 600' copper and our riggers. We couldn't buy a hit on the Dipsy's, short lead cores and a surface rod with a 1 1/4 ounce keel sinker. All fish were chinook and lakers (no coho salmon, BT or steelies today) We focused on the 100-120 fow area, mainly east of the I-Bay channel. After about seven hits and a slight lull in the action, we slid out to 290 fow only to find barren water and continued no action. When we fished back into the 100' area, we hit about 5 or 6 more. We finished the day with about 12 fish that hit the deck, with a few other knock offs in between. The cotton catching on the lines was tough, especially on the damn Planer board tow line. We fished two riggers 90'-120' both with free sliders, along with two coppers (400' and 600'), two wire divers, various short lead cores and a surface line. As mentioned above, only the deep riggers and deep copper caught fish, and it was only a spoon bite. The following spoons all caught fish: NK 42 sec (110' rigger), Moonshine Carbon 14 Mag (600' copper), DW SS Midnight special (90-120' rigger), DW SS UV Jager Bomb, DW Regular SSW (120' rigger), DW SS Alewive with white back, DW SS Wonder bread (later in day on 100' rigger). The MVP spoon was the 42 second. The highlight of the day was a 24 pound 2 ounce chinook which managed to tangle the wire diver, second rigger and surface line, but we still landed it (Go-Pro video to come later). Good luck to all- be safe on the big pond, - Chris Here's my first attempt at creating/editing a Go-Pro video. Sorry if it's boring, but at least you can enjoy the music.

Thanks for the great report last night and the play by play today! Love that 42 second spoon - it is always in the water on my boat, every trip spring to fall and my all time favorite spoon. Good luck and keep us posted, Chris

Without causing folks to scramble to your waypoints, could you give any advice on depth of your presentations, lure choice, or any other advice that would help other folks heading out this weekend? Thanks a bunch, Chris

Thanks for this very important piece of information!! Good luck on the water, Chris

Bandrus - I think your comment is spot on! However......and there's always a however......if this information can turn a 5-10 hit day into a 30 hit day, then it might change my thinking...... Awesome stuff - I hope folks with start to gather depth data on Atomik 45# copper as well as wire divers and possibly even snap weight data. Thanks to everyone for sharing such useful information, Chris

Awesome stuff - thanks for sharing your data. Will you be doing any testing on wire divers as well? Good luck on the water, Chris
