Out of the Genny at 1st light. Haven’t been out in a couple weekends. Water has definitely gone down. River low 60’s, short plume to the East. Brisk south wind. Headed towards Russell & then out to 90 FOW, just looking. Surface in close - high 40’s.

Trolled out to 175FOW where surf temp was mid 60’s. Down temps unstable. Found the edge of the upwelling in 157 FOW & worked the outer edge for a while. (see other post).

Apparently staging Kings were hanging out on deep side of the upwelling as caught 3 of these on an Antifreeze Howie (Green) behind a char/glo dodger. 37-45 down, approx 30 back. (This one is 16 ½ Lbs)

No lamprey marks on any of them. All same shade.

Quite a few seagulls swimming around just on the warmer side. I could hear a couple of other boats but couldn’t see them so guess they went way out.
