Second trip to the shipping channel, last weekend when we went it was overcast and relatively calm, we hit a bunhc of lakers with a steelhead and coho, marked a ton of bait but very few large marks. So we assumed the salmon were on the brink of finding the bait and having a feast...this weekend I dont know if it was the weather last week or just chance but we marked few bait clouds and fewer kings. Used a few atomic fly with spin doc combos of of dipsys down 60 and 75 and spoons on the riggers down covering 80-100 and 40-60. Had a nice steelhead (im guessing) on at one point but spit it. You know it's a slow day when the guests start commenting on how its "just nice to be on the water"...

Hopefully we'll hit em next time.

Hey FHflo, the Channel has been mentioned a number of times. Do you fish the Channel just west of the Galoos or farther northeast towards the Main Ducks. Just curious where the Channel fishing takes place. Thanks

It's the one about 3 or 4 miles northwest of main galloo island, where if you look on a chart you can see a rapid drop off from about 50ft to about 130 ft. its basically an underwater cliff formation, don't get too close or who'll lose your gear. I'm headin back out there on the 18th, hopefully the kings have shown up.
