Out of the Little Salmon 5-30

[rolmops]

We left the dock this morning around 5 and headed towards 40 to 60 feet toward the plant . While trolling for browns we slowly meandered  to the 70 foot range with a water temp of 58 at 35 foot!!!. And then the bait mountains started appearing on the screen, very similar to the pics that longline posted off his screen view in front of the Gennie. So we had bait and temperature and we even caught a brown or two. Between the 2 of them they must have weighed about a pound, not exactly picture show off material. That was just about it for browns and so we slid out to deeper water and there we tried for salmon. We caught some very juvenile juveniles in the 12 inch range and that was it for the day.

It was nice to be out on the water,but I very much have the feeling that the winters of 13/14 and 14/15 did a lot of long range damage and it will probably take a few years for the fabulous fishing to come back to us. In the meantime,please do release every dink and don't be too hungry for lakers because they take a long time to replenish themselves.(besides ,they $hit all over the boat when you catch them)
