I fished the shoot out with my daughter and friend. I Had friends who did well inside Friday and with the south winds the thought was stay inside and look for our four fish. We set up in 100 fow off the Nose and sloooow was the start. Our screen was bleak which I don’t always mind but the seaweed plugging up the lures was a pain. Every 10 min I popped lines and they were always full of crap. About 1 1/2 hrs in we had one brown which we released as it wouldn’t have done any good. The wind and current were so strong unfortunately the only way to maintain speed and presentation was a south troll (small boat problems) . We decided to head offshore for south troll back in hopes on stumbling on on a random matures and looking to see if we could knab a big money steelhead. We reset in 570fow and pretty quickly the steelhead were nipping . Most 4-5lbs we released in the water and we held one 8lb just in case. As we broke 500fow some small kings appeared and we kept a 10lb but still mostly juvenile fish is all we could muster. Waypoints from last weekend in 475 finally produced a big king around 21lbs and we missed another major on the 400 copper. Those were the only two mature fish we ran into all day. We ended with a full box to weigh in but I knew the box was small and the steelie was also small for a big steelehead prize. 8 hrs of straight fishing with my daughter and friend was everything I hoped for in the day and made it all worth it. As we went to weigh ins it reminds me of why I love this community. So many of the mentors that invested time in helping me were all smiles ,and they make my daughter feel so proud of herself. The amount of time donated by the organizers( so that we can create memories with our family/friends) is truly appreciated. I was really excited for many of my friends taking up the money slots as they consistently prove their abilities.

Took my daughters out tonight from Bald Eagle. All my buddy’s fished inside and had a great morning with Kings and the Browns not far off. Once we get mid July and the reports start intertwining Browns with Kings + switching to NE wind I’m headed offshore. Thought was setup in our 550 waypoints and troll South until we found fish. When we broke 500 fow my daughters thought we were deep enough lol. We targeted 45-70 down and it didn’t take long before we were on fish. We landed 20+ fish with a great mix of matures and steelhead. 485-450 was the ticket and we literally circled the area waypoint to waypoint and the rods never stopped firing. Although a little tough to start for them the lake calmed down as the day went on and arms exhausted they called it quits about hr before dark😬…. Everyday my girls ask to hang with me is a treasure catching or not

That’s a great day on the water

The steelhead size we caught. . A 26” and a 29”

I love the offshore bite. If I’m not catching or marking heavy I’ve got in the habit of packing up and running. It’s definitely frustrating grinding a day away. Sometimes my greatest days ( especially mid day high sun) is packing up and motoring . We’ll jump 250 to 350 and fish/check temp and screen. Don’t like it pack up and hit 450 and so on. I always check my waypoints for dates and see where the fish were based on last yr timeframe…… 3/4 of the success is the hunt for them

I didn’t have any meat, but some of my fiends got nice mature in tight pulling meat rigs near the bottom. Enjoy the holiday

Quick trip with my daughters this afternoon. We dropped in at 215fow off the nose and hooked up immediately. Slow pickins but every thirty min we got bit with some kings 14-17lbs and a couple nice steelhead 8-9lbs. We fished as deep as 250 but 215 was the best. Riggers 75-90 with spoons and divers 225-300 with flasher/fly . Hr before dark we slid into 150 fow looking for a bruiser . We took a great on a high diver out 180 but it came unbuttoned All in all a great trip. Check your lines, we had 4 skippers plugging the riggers.

Able to squeeze out of Bald Eagle for a quick run to see how the boat ran. Set up in 200fow off the nose with a pretty dismal screen and probe not working. Friend of mine who charters U-Betcha quickly got us on target in 80-100 fow and it didn’t take long. Managed a couple nice kings , 2 steelhead , and a small laker….. boat ran great, my daughter was perfect on the rods, and a list of all the forgotten gear was made. Hopefully will be able to get out a little more consistently as the season heats up.

The last couple Reelin for a cure we fished my poor ladies battled some good ol fashion sea sickness with rough water. . Today I was able to take out two women that have never experienced fishing and the weather was absolutely beautiful for them. Congrats on your great finish[emoji123].
