    We set back up in the trench early with all 5 Lines in the water by 5:50am. Took a quick shot on the starboard mag dipsey at 6am out 225' on a 3 setting, gator spinny and green atomik fly. Lost it after about 20 seconds of unstoppable screaming drag. Ok now we're awake!!!

    Around 7am we had the starboard rigger pop pulling a white mountain dew crush 11" paddle pulling a mirage fly. No one home. Hate that.

    At 7:45am the 450 copper starts absolutely screaming pulling the same meat locker 8" flasher and blue/yellow atomik fly as yesterday. After a long battle my dad finally hauls it in and immediately takes a seat and says "grab me a beer!" Haha he's not a fan of the long coppers... but boy do they work!

    Encouraged at this point, we decided to make another pass so we reset lines and stayed on our way points. Not long after setting back up the same starboard dipsey as earlier was smoking. It ran 200+ feet on the initial run and gave me time to start clearing the spread for this brute. Got the copper in, both rigger rods in and balls up, and finally the other dipsey as my arm was cramping from reeling so hard. We have this tank inside 100' of line out and all the sudden it's gone. A few obscenities yelled and upon closer inspection, it ate right through an atomik fly leader. Brutal way to end the day but action is getting better.

    1 for 4. Not a great percentage but putting dad on fish is priceless. In by 10am.

    Not certain but sure there's lots of instinct involved. Next 5-6 days all look about the same mid 80s high low 60s for the low. Down temps are improving so headed in the right direction for more active staging fish. This year has been pretty disappointing so far.

    Picked up another decent King in the trench this morning on the 450' copper. Meat locker flasher and yellow/blue atomik fly. Had 1 other release. Back in at 10. Things have got to be getting better though... working hard for em still.

    Picture in the post above Pap. Not too dark yet but turning that way. Quite a few kings being caught in the SR the last 24hrs. It's 72deg down to the bottom in the trench so if BR is 70 I don't see why they wouldn't start running. May head up there to check it out this evening.

    Repeat plan as yesterday and wow are the fish 'shocked' in there. Same temp on surface all the way down and although I realize temp isn't as important this time of year, lt is affecting their activity. Way less marks today they either moved back out deeper or a small run shot up Black River. 1 for 2 today and in before 10. Small King and threw him back.

    Woohooo!!! Got to camp last night and on Vacation through Labor day!! 11 days of fishing ahead!

    Started off setting lines at 5:50am in the Trench and no more then 30sec after putting the first rigger down it pops and we are battling. Nice female staging King. Crush Gator Mag Spoon down 100 over 115.

    We proceeded to troll for a few more hours with 5 more releases and a few of them screaming for a few seconds. 4 more from the same spoon and 1 on bare green label Herring. Only riggers took shots the dipseys and copper just got wet today. Lots of short strikes, smacking at it. Frustrating.

    Always tomorrow...

    Is there anything happening in Henderson in the trench?

    Temp is really deep and the fish you mark are trapped on the bottom and tight lipped... the temp in the trench needs to raise 20-30' higher like it usually is this time of year and I believe we'll all see more active fish and screaming drags.

     

    I could not bring myself to target lakers... you can only catch so many - gets boring real fast unless you have some newbies you're taking out and they just want to catch fish.

     

    You'll get those whitefish a lot... I've caught 15+ this year... always down deep and on Mag spoons.  pretty funny.  Problem is you'll drag em for miles not knowing, which isn't helping you catch salmon.

    Hit the lake early and set up on the finger with my buddy (Mooseknuckle) to finally find some calmer fishable water. Kings absolutely stacked 30' thick from 100-130' down over 145. Lock jaw all morning - couldn't get em to hook up and they finally dispersed. Picked up and headed further out SW toward the stack. Set up in 150' maintaining a heading toward Oswego. Picked up a small king, a couple lakers, and one respectable King. The first for my buddy on Lake O! Good to be back on the water.
