Thanks for posting p3434.  God bless President Trump.  If America survives as a free country it will be at least in part due to him.

Nice Job Jeff!  

Thanks Pete!  Great job, especially doing it all alone and capturing it so nicely on video!  It was so good of you to share with us. 

BAITNH, That's a good concise report.  Helpful! Many Thanks!

Nice report!!! Good for Emily!

Looks like a hen steelhead.  Nice!

Great Job,  Very enjoyable to watch!!

Nice job and good report! Thanks!

Nice Going,  Thanks for the reports!

Thanks for the report!  Wishing you continued Good luck.  Hoping to get out next week.

I am assuming they were released to the grill or the smoker.  Nice Job.

BaitNH. The fleas weren't bad on the downrigger lines.   I use 30# Ande.  The problem was mostly on the wire Slide divers (regular dipseys not so bad) where they would collect at the connection between the wire and the mono leader. 

Fished yesterday out of  Fairhaven from 70 to 500 FOW from 0800 to 1600 .  Only marked one probable Salmon and very few bait pods. Temp (53 degrees F)  was initially at 75 feet, later 50 feet.  Fished  Dipsies, proven downrigger spoon programs, flashers and flies and cut bait all to no avail.  Spiny water fleas were very bad on the dipsey rigs, had to clean them off every half hour to avoid clog-ups.  Hope things improve soon.   

Well done!  Thanks for the nice report, also well done!  Great pictures!!

Congrats on the nice kings and thanks for a very nice report!

^{Thanks for the very nice report!!!  Nice going!}

Wow what a nice buck and what a good story!  Congratulations.  Sounds like you did your homework well. -Charley

Good Question Barn Dog, 

This late I have had my best luck fishing deeper 100- 350 FOW for 2 year olds and steel head.    You won't see many other boats but the fishing can be great.   Good fishing!

I agree with Gambler.  A full moon can nullify the morning bite completely. 

Nice going Len, Good report.

Nice going.  That's a beauty!

Thanks,  A very useful video for sure!

I have a Merc 9.9 pro kicker 4-Stroke on my Starcraft 196 Fishmaster.  Its a great engine (its a long shank), hardly burns any fuel and easy to control (I have a separate throttle up front).  The one caveat is to avoid ethanol gas or if you use ethanol gas disconnect the fule line on the way in and burn it clean or drain carbureter (remove drain screw a then replace after draining (Recommended and easy to do).  Due to EPA requirements it has small orifices  and jets that can get clogged if ehtanol gas (even if treated) is left in the carb.  I'm sure this is the case with many of the newer model small engines.   

I have the kicker and the 4 stroke main engine on the same steering cable and they both run off the same gas tank.  Its a good way to go.

Len, Thanks for taking the time to provide such a good and thorough report. Its an odd year. Hopefully things get more consistent. Wishing you more catchin 'n grinin.
