    Most were around 12”. We hit a few bigger skips earlier in the morning in the 15-20” range then couldn’t keep the 12” fish off the hooks later in the morning.

    Ran west to the nose and set up in 120. Worked westward between 110-160 to bald eagle. 63 on surface 48 down 80 in most areas Lots of duck weed and scum in the water to clean from the lines in some areas. if fleas were there the duck weed and scum hid them Lost counts of the skippys we released during weed checks on all lines. Lots of 12” chinooks around. Lost 2 good screamers on rigger w meat rig and a diver with spoon. Kept one 6lb king for the grill and a laker (yes we dragged bottom as my buddy wanted a laker)! divers, riggers and 300 steel all took shots. Black green and silver combos on the meat rig and all spoons that caught fish

    The good- we didn’t get skunked! We didn’t lose any gear! The bad - east wind with rain until 830am. No hits for 2.5 hrs. Covered lots of water. Crazy down current moving east to west. The ugly- lost a decent king on 300 steel with pickle seed spoon in 220 fow. Dragged bottom for a couple lakers for my buddy to smoke. End a slow morning with my Overheat alarm blasting 150 yards from the mouth of the creek coming in at noon. Found a hose that popped off going to the impeller. Almost had Rolmops tow me but I got it running and had him follow me up the creek! Thanks Rolmops! glad for a few days of wind for me to get my head back in the game!

    Fish when you can and make the most of it! It’s was a slow struggle today. Lots of bait and marks east of sandy to watoma bouy in 70-100 fow. Also some nice screens in 140 fow NE of the bouy. But few takers ended with 2 lakers, 2 small kings and a small Atlantic. no patterns. Diver, 300 steel, rigger. We threw everything at them. I will admit we dragged bottom with cowbells for 1 of the lakers Also donated lots of skin to the biting flies!

    Fished noon to 5 Wind kicked up from 1-3 made dealing with king doubles quite fun. When the wind then settled and the bite was good until 4 and then it shut down. best was 30-40 over 55 fow off Hamlin for kings. only lakers and small rainbow further east. Seasick waddler was the spoon today taking most shots then a green/silver spin dr with fake meat. nbk and another green/white/silver spoon took fish also Temp was 46 surface 45 down 40 over 55 fow That Temp was consistent from Hamlin beach to the creek in the depth we fished from noon to 5. Released 10+ lost a handful. Best king was 10lbs kept that for the grill. Good day given the wind blast from 1-3 which kicked the lake up a bit hope this helps someone!

    2-3’ rollers from the west with a strong gusty SW wind was sporty and fishable in close! Ran west to in front of Hamlin beaches and cut out to 30-40 fow trolling east. Some nice marks but no takers. 1 knock off in 35fow off the pump house no one home. Angled in to 25 then 20 then 15 fow east of the creek. King #1 off the rigger 75’ back. Pulled lines to fight it. Boated it ran back west a 1/2 mile or so turned back east set up same again king #2 a little further east. Repeat #3. Back west then east again Boated a double on a small 6# king and a 4# brown. During which I Messed up my cannon rigger clutch and dragged my fish hawk probe and ball on the bottom. Hand lined it back into the boat to save my probe while my buddy held both rods with fish on them. Time to rebuild my rigger clutches if I can. Hands cut by the wire will heal also my pride is more in question! Run west repeat with only 2 rods in the water. Lose a jumping screamer and then within minutes of resetting get a 10# king that fought like a 20#!! kept 4 kings from 10-12+ lbs for filets All fish same spoon and all rigger hits 8-10 down over 15 fow east of Sandy in 48- 49 degree water crazy rough windy fun 2026 shake down cruise! Only screwed up my downrigger clutch and stepped on a rod bending an eyelet. Not too bad! Didn’t lose anything!!

    Ok you’re pushing me to finish getting my boat ready tomorrow for next week probably skip wilson in 2 weeks and drag you out on the dingy for an adventure! 🤔

    We started with lines in around 7am to 11am Fished 130-150 mostly in front of Hamlin beach. Enough hits and fish to not leave to head offshore. No big boys but my 86yr dad was happy boated 8+ missed at least that with knock offs and “hands free releases “ largest 8-10lb bow 6-8 lb bow 6lb king handfull of 2-3 lb fish and some skippy kings All spoons on Riggers, dipsey and 300 steel. Seasick waddler, carbon 14, gold back 42nd and black/white/silver moonshine (i have to look up). Same spoons took fish all morning just deeper as the sun got high and the lake flat! 50-60 down then 80-70 down later these guys pushed this barge right thru the 150fow fishing crowd! Saw it coming from the west for a long time! Hooked up right by it so all was good!
  14. tenatureboy
    Yep! 😳

    Hit the water at 430-5. Banged thru the NE 2’ rollers to 140 set up found 46 degrees down 60. headed out to 200 first. Zero takers. Headed back in hit a screamer on a 300 with a sea sick waddler in 150 fow. Buddy lost it!!! 🤦🏻 not really his fault just can’t keep them hooked this year! This fish is now a 30lber in our fish stories! Hit another soon after in 140 smaller fish but not tiny 65 over 140 on carbon raspberry ! Lost it! Fought back around thru the waves to the same area 2x and zero! Finally hit another screamer off the rigger in 120 straight off Sandy only to lose that again also! 🤦🏻💩🦨 Released a 4lb king on a dirty white boy off the rigger in 40 over 120fow off the pump house Texted wife to say we weren’t skunked! She said it didn’t count. Another knock off but no one there. Final fish of the day on a blue dolphin on a 200 steel in 110 fow. Best of the day! Send pic to fish to wife for evidence and was told I need to sell the boat as I can’t feed our family with it this year and I suck as a fisherman! all of this is true but the boat is not for sale. Yet!
