8/24 I-Bay to River Report

[UpGrady]

Fished a long day with my brother in town from SC. Stopped inside the cold water off the river to check it out in 30-60 fow first thing, was a bit timid with sparks showing up off to the SW. Ran out to the warmer water in 150', setup and trolled north. Worked out toward 500 fow and back into 150 fow before pulling lines.

Good action most of the day, fish were in pods which were moving constantly. Mixed bag of steelhead, Kings and coho, nothing bigger than about 10lbs though. Riggers at 40 and 60' with sliders did most of the damage. A few fish on leadcore, divers were dead. Probably boated 15 fish and dropped another dozen.

Back out tommorrow if the wind cooperates for the AM.
