  2. One of my hottest setups this fall was using these with herring chunks and oil behind 11" paddles off long coppers - took many Big Kings this way
  3. Either port will have fish this time of year. As far as water depth just start shallow and work your way out. With the recent winds the lake is shook up right now and it is anyone's guess where the fish went.
  4. Quick 4 hour trip this morning. Fished from 110-170 range didn't mark many fish at first. Found a decent pod and worked them for 2 hours which produced 4 kings and one coho. Kings ranged from 16-30 pounds. Best setup was green white crush glow paddle teamed with a hammer fly off 75 rigger. Wire divers at 240, 280, and 310 also took shots. Lost a screamer off 450 copper with a 11" green glow meat rig(snapped leader).
  5. Ran another 5 hour trip thus morning. Started straight out in 100 FOW and worked north. Found some good marks around 120-160 range. Worked those fish four an hour and couldn't get them to go. I pushed out a little deeper due to traffic and just plain ignorant driving. Managed 2 coho's a nice steelhead and a 25 lb king. One rigger fish @ 120, others hit wire divers @ 240, 340, and 525. All spin dr and flies - couldn't get the meat to fire today
  6. Fished for 5 hours this morning straight out in 150-220. Ended going 6 for 8. All kings 17, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27,5. Mix of 450 and 600 coppers riggers at 115 and 130 and wires at 250, 330 and 480, 11" paddles with meat and spin dr fly combos all taking hits. Green paddle green fly and meat rig was hot setup for day
  7. 12 " cimeter best knife I've used
  8. Left the dock @ 6am and headed NW of chute. Set down in 170 FOW and was marking fish immediately. Worked the 170-240 range. Ran 2 riggers 3 wires and 450 and 600 copper. Ended morning with 5 for 9 including 10.5 lb steelhead and the rest were kings 14.4, 22, 24.5, and 28.5lbs. It was a mix of dipsy and rigger fish. Mag diver @. 250, standard diver @ 330 on a 1.5, 525 on a 3, and riggers @ 120 and 130 all taking fish. Mix of flies and 11" paddles with cut bait.
  9. Did well yesterday in 180-240 range. Key was to stay away from the pack and just fish the marks. We ended the morning trip with 5 for 9 which included a 10.5 lb steelhead and kings 14.5, 22, 24.5, and 28.5 lbs. mix of flies and cut bait all fished DEEP down 100+
  10. what Tim said. I you want to target a mix of Kings and Steel you need to rig slightly differently. One way to get a mixed bag is to run a flasher/fly setup off a rigger and put a spoon with a free slider on it. for steelhead usually like anything red/orange (bright colors) another good steelhead rig is a bright orange flasher with a small blue or green fly behind it. when steelies are "on top" you can also flat line spoons and rapala's off the surface using planer boards. dont be afraid to try different setups and let the fish dictate what they want. when you get a rod to "fire" just repeat everything exactly what you were doing (depth/speed/color) etc.
  11. coated cable is a must. even with the caoted cable you may lose signal occasionally and one way to get it back is to wrap a wet towel around the antenna.
  12. Any more pics? And what is a little TLC? Any major issues?
  13. this has been happening all over the lake recently. when this happens try adjusting your speed either faster or slower to see if that will trigger them. also dont be afraid to raise or lower your presentation until you find "the sweet spot". it is frustrating seeing them all over but no rods firing. this was my screen Satueday for almost 2 hours before a rod fired.
  14. 8/17/13 - Fair Haven - Started straight out this morning in 200 found temp actually came up about 10 feet from yesterday about 150 down. Worked 2 riggers 3 divers and 600 copper. Fish were stacked between 120-200 down. Took 24 pound king off 600 copper 26 pound off 180 rigger 12 pound off 390 diver. Headed north to 400 FOW when screen went blank. 520 wire diver pulling Carmel dolphin Hypnotist fly started screaming. Finally stopped at 920 and fought fish to 600 before he made another run back to 900. 50 minutes later 32.06 lbs good for 4th (right now) in the LOC
  15. Fished all 3 days and ended with some great fish and even one on the LOC board. Friday started with a morning trip consisting of my Cousin and Uncle. We started in 250 FOW due to the NW blow from day before. found temps in the basement 160 down. the screen was absolutely loaded between 150-200 down. We hit 350 FOW and started moving rods. Wire Diver out 520, 540, and 560 all took fish as well as 600 Copper - all pulling Spin Dr / fly combos. Largest fish was 24.5 pounds. On Saturday i went out with my Dad looking for one for the LOC board. we started in 300 FOW and found temp and fish exactly where i left them on Friday. we had a slow but steady pick all morning,Took fish on wire divers out 480, 525, and 540, 600 copper, and 180 rigger. Our day eneded when the wire diver out 520 started screaming and didnt stop until 900+, battled fish back to 600 and it went back out over 900. almost an hour later 32.06 King hit the deck and we ran to weigh in.(currently in 4th place). All fish took spinny / fly combos. ended the day with 12, 26, 28, and 32lb Kings. On Sunday i took the morning off to recover from celebrating my LOC fish the night before and went out for and evening trip with Mom and Dad. we started in the 220 range and didnt start seeing fish until the 420 range.fish rod to go was 600 copper after a LONG run and over an hour battle Mom landed her firsh KING @ 26.5lb, and off the copper to boot. needless to say she was excited but tired as hell. after a slow period, I dropped the probe rigger from 140 to 180 to see what it looked like down there. As i turned my back to walk away Mom yells - FISH i grab the rod and hand it to her. an exciting battle and nearly 25 minutes later her second King hit the deck @ 22lbs - a few pics later and a beautiful sunset on the lake ended the night. Overall a great weekend with fish spread from 200 - 600 FOW. almost all fish I took were "out of temp" which is typical of this time of year with the biggest fish coming from the "ICE" water. Also 600 copper was HOT every day loaded with 11" paddles and long leadered flys.

  17. Awesome. i really put it to the test this weekend and it was perfect
  18. was able to get out friday for a couple of hours. great screen in close 80-120 range with major hooks but was only able to pull some browns from that area. I pushed deeper to see what was out there. I hit 280 and the screen lit up and so did the rods. we ended going 6 for 8 in just 2 hours with 5 Kings and 1 Coho. Everything fired from 210 Mag diver, 310 -340 Reg divers, 500 and 600 coppers, 90-120 riggers. had 50 degrees down 85. Saturday was a blow day for me Sunday I didnt get out until 6:00pm for a night trip. Started setting rods in 160 FOW and found temp in the basement. had 52 degrees down 130'. hit 190 FOW and the frenzy started. ended up going 3 for 5 in 1.5 hours. best fish was a 32.12lb King. Screen was loaded and the fish were spunky as everyone we caught jumped out of water, made some great runs, and tried their best to get us tangled.
