Thanks for the report, thinking of making the trip soon. Aren't the browns staging/spawning right now anyway? I usually get steelies and an occasional coho in tight this time of year. -
Went out of the South end on Thursday and the fleas weren't bad. The floating weeds were awful though. Managed one nice rainbow.

Sounds to me like you are a good person. Thanks for looking out for others in distress out there, and helping when you could. I got towed in recently, and have towed a few in myself over the years. I always try to keep karma on my side!

Some of the flashers/spinners don't impart any action to the lure, so those need a spoon or other self action lure behind them. Its good to have both on hand to try on tough days.

Great job getting it done in a small window of time. How far out were you (FOW)? -

You did well to find fish in the end. Kings are tough right now, unless you want to go west. -

Didnt hit the water till about 11, was my shakedown trip really. Went out the chute to 80 FOW and got some lines wet. Nothing on the screen so pointed it in a bit till I was in about 50 FOW. Finally a big blip on the screen near bottom, so I dropped the rigger down and one of the wire divers. When I got to 45', had a couple more blips and the deep wire rod fired with a "Dirty White Boy" SS. Fish took about 100' before I got him turned, and soon my first solo King came aboard - damn, I gotta give credit to you guys that do solo trips all the time, that was not easy getting her in the net. Kept at it for about 3 hours, including a quick try inside for Browns, but nothing doing in there. Hopefully more fishable days coming, felt like I waited 3 weeks for a low wind day.

I am using EZ steer (both outboards) and it works well, but I am finding a need for an autopilot for solo trips, and I too was looking for something to just control the kicker. Came across this, although not cheap, looks to fit the bill.
