Bad day out of mex point

[hookorhunt]

Marked very little if any. Any where from 45 fow -110. Temp all over. Very little bait. One trip all day.

Which direction did you go out of the shoot?

[hookorhunt]

Left. Went toward plant. Hit 65 fow and dropped gear. Temp at 38-40. So trolled in. Then after 2 hours of hammering 40'-70 fow went out and trolled back and nada. Almost all boats gone from area by 9:30

[Adk1]

Ok..Well, I am pretty much going in blind. never been there. I hope to hear some reports before I get there though! I also have no temp equipment

[hookorhunt]

That's gonna be tough. Temp has been all over. I guess start where the other boats are, look for bat pods and drag gear through them. I was also fishing for browns today, not salmon. Had all spoons with cheaters 10' up with smith wicks. Yesterday bait was any where from 10-85' filling the sonar from top to bottom frequently.

[Adk1]

Yeah, I hope that when I get there mid August the thermocline will be more stable..

[hookorhunt]

It won't matter mod August. They will be in 60 fow and everyone will be hammering them. Good luck and good chatting

[Adk1]

well that is good to hear I guess! Will have to look into this 60' depth reasoning. I know that they will "start" to be stacking up outside of the ports/rivers etc about that time here or there.

[hookorhunt]

Yes, in front of Mexico point and up to Selkirk or so. Combat fishing at its finest. When you take a leak over the side, everyone just waves. Haha

[Adk1]

Oh man well being my first time I am not gonna be right in the middle of the pack I can tell you that for sure. Will hug the outsides and try for some tragglers until I get more comfortable.

nahh just pull a 400 copper and head for the pack and hold on tight

[Adk1]

no copper for me unfortunately, but from what I am guessing side planers, even inline are out for sure. I will run 2 lines off of riggers and 2 dipsey setups and maybe a lead down the shoot.
