    ran a quick trip this morning before work. we left the dock at 530am and headed straight north. Set up in 120 FOW and just as the 2nd dipsy rod went in the first one out 340 White paddle/hammer fly started screaming. After a great fight and some LONG runs we netted a king that was just shy of 30lbs. 10 minutes later second dipsy fires out 315 pulling green board / green crinkle fly. As i swooped the net under him i knew it was going to be nice. in the boat it came and it was a beautiful Atlantic salmon. 2 in the box before 7am. we were happy. ended up taking another smaller king off 125 rigger over 170 before calling it quits. We had some good action despite a short window to fish in.

    Someone once told me to start with the "100 rule". So if your fishing 60' down you go 40' making it 100, 80' down would be 20' back. Etc. Again these are just ballparks as the conditions and the fishes mood will really decide what will work best

    Used it today for the first time. I liked it a lot. Used 300' weighted steel connected to SS wire to get same depth as 600 copper. It was smooth and nicer than a full 600 copper - IMO.

    Went out last night on my buddy's boat. He concentrated on the inside waters 80-140. We marked very few fish and all were on bottom (possibly lakers). And Zero bait. We had 73* on the surface and 42* down 18 - yes 18'. We ran a mix of meat, flies, spoons all throughout the water column. Never moved a rod. Heard there is some bait and more stable water offshore. Heading there tonight and will post results tomorrow

    Guys are having some decent fishing in the 140-220 Range. Flasher/flies and meat taking the lions share of the fish. Riggers down 100 divers out 310+ The full moon did make it a later bite. Key is to stay with the marks and work them different directions and speed until "they turn on". Many 20+ pounders taken.

    One of the best setups for Kings off spoons is a MUP rig. (Mag Up) which is a Mag spoon on a fixed slider about 10' above smaller spoon in same pattern. Like said above above if you're hitting smaller fish drop your riggers deeper as the smaller fish to seem to be in top portion of column with bigger fish deeper in colder water

    I was there a little late. Great job today and good luck tomorrow

    Honestly I was more dumbfounded but was taking place. By the time I saw him 1/2 mile away and he kept his course straight at me I thought for sure he would alter his course slightly. I was trolling at 2 mph and even altered my course by 50* to just get this far away

    Thats a "Habanero" it was an original "Die Hard" that Billy V added tape to and soon after that began being produced that way.

    All my fishing was west of the chute. I talked to quite of few guys yesterday and fishing remained constant in the 130-180 range. Riggers down 100, divers out 260-320 with Flies and Meat taking majority of the hits. I do know that fish were being caught West and all the way to the point East. Quite a few browns mixed in those waters as well around the 60-80 range.

    Fished from 6 - 1130am. Worked inside waters from 90-140 FOW. I had 49* down 90 over 110. Didn't mark much bait or fish but had decent action. Took 2 kings (21 and 23 lbs) both came on green glow spin dr - green fly on diver out 236 over 120. Took a 8lb brown on a die hard mupped rig off a 90 rigger over 110. Had two more rips on same green combo diver with the last breaking my leader. Slid out to deeper water 200' to look for bait but didn't find anything so I moved back in.

    Had this guy almost T Bone me. I was in 225' out of Fair Haven and was all by myself. I thought his keel was going to take out my 600 copper. The pics don't do it justice of how close he was. If you zoom in you get a better idea

    Results from today's weigh in. From Facebook.....

    I fish solo 85% of the time. For these reasons mentioned above When I leave the dock I have 6 rods out and ready. 2 rigger rods 2 diver rods and 2 coppers (450/600). You never know what the fish will like on any given day. It's a lot easier to have the rods out and ready then to head below and get them out after. Great job and your day you earned it !!!!

    Straight 30lb to flasher. The only time you may want to leader down is when pulling spoons

    ?? Not sure what your asking about. It was a standard ATOMMIK fly with a 22" leader to the paddle

    There's a tandem axle bunk trailer for sale at Anchor Marine in Fair Haven that would probably be a good fit. Don't know the details but drive by it daily

    Ran a few miles west of port last night (7 miles) and set up in 150FOW. Had 52* down 120. Worked my way out to 220 FOW. Marked very few fish and zero bait but had some action. First fish came on 315 dipsy pulling gator spin Dr / green fly - 7 lb steelhead. 141 rigger fired pulling green echip with blue dolphin fly - 24 lb King. Same rigger fired again and lost that fish (a decent one). Dipsy with ATOMMIK killer green fly took another shot and dropped that one (smaller). Nice to have some steady action for a change and the currents were not as bad as they have been

    Anyone who knows me know i just tell the truth. Two words to sum it up for me - BEYOND SLOW. July 3rd Fished from 530am to 1pm. Marked an occasional fish from 140-300 FOW. Ran mix of spoons, FF, and meat. 68* up top and 62* down 140. never moved a rod July 4th Fished from 6am to 1230pm. Marked decent amount of fish between 180-230 FOW. agaoin 68* up top and 60 down 150'. Similar program as day before as a mix of Spoons,FF, and meat. Took a couple small kings and a small steely off 158 rigger. Had one Major hit off 178 rigger over 220. nearly spooled us before hooked popped and that wa sit for the day July 5th Fished from 630am to 12pm. started in 150 FOW and worked our to 550'. i had 69 up top and 55 down 135 the whole way it never waivered more than a hald degree. Marked a total of 3 fish and there down 300 in the 450 range. never moved a rod. I varied my Down Speed from 2.0 - 3.0 to try to make something happen. I did hear of some Kings being caught in similar waters right off bottom but i couldnt get my program dialed in to catch them. Currents were some of the STRONGEST ive seen in a long time. Back at it later.....
