Rigged up two rods today. Mono backing, 300 feet of 20 lb braid with 15 lb fluorocarbon leaders. Just need the jigs to show up. How long did you guys have to wait for your deliveries from Mission Tackle? Tournaments Friday through Sunday, hope they show up next week!

Mission lures

You bet. I sent you a PM a week or so ago with my contact info. I’m out of Braddocks often and happy to share info with you.

We didn’t have a ton of marks but there were some. We fished that depth to be out of the pack of boats fishing in 100 ish. Had my hands full crew wise and no autopilot. We didn’t have major current or speed issues and fleas and fly’s were non existent. Had meat and mags out, never ran faster than 2.4 at the ball.

Or is it that they are 2 or 3 year old kings and not many are hanging out till they’re 4?

Late short trip with my wife and daughter. Trolled 80-90 for browns with mag spoons. 60 degree water down 75. Lines in at 1 and pulled at 3. No browns but two for three on kings one pushing 24lbs.

As much aa I enjoy fishing with experienced anglers, taking kids out and getting them on quality fish is priceless. Conversely, slow days are a drag, but slow with kids on board is agonizing. Blessed today, lines in at 6:30 and out by 10:00.

In 225 down 90. Warm water inside

Took a friend and his nine year old son fishing today. Until this morning the son had caught one small fish at camp. 150-220 feet of water. Riggers at 110 and 95, divers out 225 to 250. Meat was on fire, 20 bites in three hours. Father and son did well and had a ball. Had no idea fishing like we enjoy every day existed.

May not have to slide out far.

I would still drop in 80 and slide out from there. Kings are still inside in the warm water and feeding but more stable water will be found deeper.
