the wind was suppose to pick up today as the day went on,but did just the opposite,fished from 7 to 2 and was just about flat on our way in.carbon copy of last night,1 laker about 10 lbs and 1 tiny king.started in 150 fow and worked out to 250 then back in.very little bait and didnt mark many fish.
Quick trip last night,1laker,1 small king straight out of the river150 fow,laker down 140 on a f/f and king on dipsey out 280 alewife spoon.stopped in 80 fow to check temp.,61 all the way to the bottom.temp. Was 46 down 140 in 150 fow.
it has been very tough for us,but i think the lake is getting ready to set up if we can get some consistant winds,seems every other day it blows from a different direction.bait has finally showed up,so hopefully the fish wont be far behind.give your dad my number and tell him to call me if he needs anything.
hey steve,if you dont get what you are looking for at salmon country,i can ask at mikes,they also have 2 cabin rentals,nothing great,but pretty good rates,not sure if you rent the cabin they throw in a slip.let me know.
fished for a while this morning,got tired of having to clean lines of the green moss/weed like stuff floating around out there every 15 minutes.still lots of marks and bait in that 90 to 100 fow,but just like yesterday,couldnt get anything started.
Can it????we have been saying that since April.haha.fished yesterday from stack to alcan,2 for 3,10 lb laker and 5 lb brown,lost a laker.marked lots of fish,some bait,just could not get them to go.90 to 100 fow,got outside of 110,screen went blank,heading out shortly.
thats been the story pretty much all spring,catch one day and get blanked the next.at least it seems the bait is showing up,hopefully the salmon wont be to far behind.
we started out with a 300 copper,seems to get used the most on our boat.depending on what you are going for and what time of the year it may run to deep or not deep enough,but is a good starting point.once you get comfortable deploying and fishing 300,you can go on to longer ones if you want.first 50 feet are tough,but after that its not bad,just remember to let it out slow.if the reels you have wont work,you can always buy one "pre" rigged with the copper and backing from tom allen at at-tom-mic or any of the local tackle shops.
welcome aboard,like turf said,all it takes is your first lake o screamer and its all over.there is alot to learn from some great fisherman here on lou.
Fished yesterday from 3 till 5 just west of the stack.started in 75 fow,marked a lot of fish from 30 to 50 ft down,did a small steelies,then an 8 lb king in 90 fow down 80 on an NBk.steelie was on a green glow alewife free slider.some good marks on the bottom in 90to 100 fow.
