6-7 Port Bay Report

[Finders Keepers]

Hit the water at 6am today and started in 50 fow infront of East Bay. Marked some bait on the bottom between 60-80 fow, but no fish and no takers, so we headed north and west. Worked all the way out to 550 fow picking up a 5 lb steelhead on the wire over 130 fow (Green echip/green crinkle fly out 120 on a #2 setting) and a 9 lb king over 380 fow (silver prism dodger/aqua fly down 32 ft set 5 ft behind the ball). Had 2 other releases with nobody home over 530 fow on the 65 ft rigger pulling a dalmation spin doctor/hammer fly with a pink vampire slider. They probably hit the slider and missed, or I was to slow at reeling in the slack! :roll: All hits came when running 2.7-2.9 on a NW troll. Tried running the riggers from 20 to 120 feet, wires from 80 to 220 without much going. Didn't mark a single fish or suspended bait pod all morning. Hopefully it won't be too long before both show up in numbers. Called it a day at 11:30

We'll be out next Sat AM if the weather is good.
