I prefer maple syrup on my spoons

Nice big female, still looks fairly fresh too!

Slimy Grimy works great for the hull too, especially with a pressure washer

We got out a little later than I wanted but the conditions were great at 6:00 when we set our lines out. Had a mature on a Twinkie and meat rig but it straightened out a hook and got off. The dragon slayer with hammer fly got hit on a dipsey 5 minutes later out 180 on a 3 setting but came unbuttoned as well. Finally the meat rig got hit again and landed it with every hook in its maw. Couple more hit and runs then nothing else as it started to get dark. We did best between 70-80’ with most fish hovering around 60 down.

Very nice, hoping to get my friends son into his first salmon

I won’t get on the water until 5:30 so maybe I’ll run out to 150’ and work my way back in until I hopefully see marks unless I see some on the way out. Thanks for the replies

Good to know thanks. Marking any large pods of fish within 200 fow?

I’m curious what the inshore temps are now

I am heading up to Pulaski later this afternoon to try to anger some stagers and wondering if anyone can give me temp info . I don’t have a fish hawk or temp probe so just hoping to at least get out to a good zone and not waste much time experimenting with depths. Any info would be appreciated and very helpful.

I’m down here now for the week and nothing but porgies and dogfish from the beach. Fishing mid-sound in Connecticut. I have 3 more days to find bass.

I got one mature king in 650’ on Monday went 7-9 with an all spoon bite. Downrigger was mupped and wire diver ran a flasher with spoon.

I fished a few miles west of the plant today and deep was productive for immatures and steelhead. If you aren’t getting anything in tight slide out deep for some action.

Today was a picture perfect day on the water. My 15 y/o daughter took me up on my offer to bring anyone out with me so I was shocked. We dropped our lines in at 6:30am at the 29 line and trolled north east. Had a steady pick of steelhead and skippy’s for a few hours until we took our first major of the year. She took the downrigger rod after it popped and I knew right away it was going to be a battle. She handled it perfectly while I coached her through it. I don’t have a fish hawk so just read the DR cables and guessed on the thermocline. There was definitely a significant down current but took shots in both directions. All hits were taken between 80-90’ down over 550-650 fow. Only 2 rods took all the shots, my DR mupped with Green Hornet spoons and a dipsey on wire out 205-225’ with a chinook diver, 2 face spinny, and white 2 face spoon. Nice 25” steelhead was the runner-up for biggest fish to hit the deck. Thank you to all for your detailed reports, they certainly helped me dial in a program pretty quickly.
