A bit choppy in the AM so we didn't go as deep as  we wished. Started marking good ones while heading out in 80-100 ft of water down 50-60 ft but couldn't get them to go. Some pods of bait spotted intermittantly  throughout the day down about 60 ft over whatever...Connected with a 7 lb laker on wire dipsy and flasher fly out 200 ft of wire...released him. trolled for quite a while before landlock on 10 color with Laker Taker blue/siver spoon. Only hit on leadcore all day after many lure changes and riggers didn't  do much either despite changes and  sliders on both. Had what looked like a small king started on wire... got off. another few hits, but hours of trolling out to 310 ft without seeing anything or hits so went back inward and about 2:45 PM 20 lb king took the wire rig with Spinny and white home made fly for a ride in 120 ft of water wireout 220, and was totally exhausted after fighting his heart out so we kept him. My son's arms turned to rubber in the process  many of the larger boats went deep and I think stayed out there where I had wanted to go so I imaging they got into them. Moderate spiny fleas mainly on wire. A buddy is out there right now and into them so my hunch was right Slow trolling but fun day just being out there.
