Fishing Report

LongLine

Guess what time I launched…

Clear overhead. Big bright Blue moon high in the sky. Very slight south wind. Headed out & to the left. 73.5F on the surface. Put in around 120 FOW and worked out to 230FOW or so.

Very busy screen between 190 & 220 between 80 & 110 down. Managed to lose the first 4. Two were on for ten minutes & had to be Lakers. 2 were on for 10 seconds, max. Glad I got up so early….

Finally got the act together around 10:00. Little King down 120 over 200. Wonderbread on the rigger.

Then a chunker, same depth same lure.

Both short leads; 3 mph down speed heading south. 54F down 105. Very thin line but I guess from here on out, temp doesn't mean all that much.

Flotilla of larger boats working a little eastward, more off the river & a little shallower. Maybe 8-10.

Pulled them up around 11:30 & scooted around to burn some gas.

6 jackas…er...fellow boaters trying to launch. Man that water’s low. Couple guys in a Lund pulled out right behind me. Guess they had a pretty good day to the east. About 20 trailers in the lot.

Going to play with the carburetors one more time tomorrow.

Luck to all,

Nice fatty coho Tom

Tim - Browns are typically the fat ones but the cohos I've seen this year have almost put them to shame. I'm wondering if they've exchanged diets.
