    Once the kings show up most boats will slide out and focus on sharks. I believe you have been bitten and there is no cure for what's to come. There is alternative ways to get down deeper without downriggers to target kings. There is nothing like having a king scream line out. Dipsy's will work nice and snap weights. The browns will be there until the water warms up and pushes them out deeper. We used to fish the browns in June/July and they are called football, browns. You can get some pigs. You can also go west down toward Braddocks to Hamlin beach for lake trout. Glad you found a new type of fishing.

    Had a few hours this afternoon and we tried working a little deeper 30-50 for kings. Started right off with a steelhead on top off of a custom wonder bread stickbait. Water was cleaner out deeper but the 30- 40 ft was decent. We took fish eother on top or the bottom 1/3 of the water table using divers and drop weights. Gold Alewife & Blacksilver seemed to work better deeper. Really depended on if sun was out or clouds took over. Did put out a 4 color leadcore and it took a brown and our last king. Browns are still inside but we spent time deeper searching for sharks. Fish look healthy this spring. Water temp 44 -46.5.

    Between Webster and I bay was a great day for browns and kings. 25 browns with 3 kings. Largest king was 13.5 lbs. and it was my 1st fish of the year. SImiliar pattern reported 15-25 ft. was chaotic. Chinook diver an a 3 setting down in the bottom 1/3 of water column was consistent all day. The 2 divers I ran were 70% of the fish. 2 different browns spit up gobies so that tells you something. Black & silver spoons were outfishing everything all day. Citric Shad, My secret and a custom made wonderbread were the colors early and then goby took over in cleaner water. 2-2.2 trolling speed. Leads were 100 on outside planer and 80 on the inside planer board. Check your lines if things slow down because you most likely have a hitchhiker on. We also had 4 or 5 doubles today Don't forget your life jacket as it is required to the end of the month. You will get a ticket if they are at the ramp or out on the water.

    Went out of the Genny this morning and turned east until mud line changed color. Nice steady pick on inside 10-20ft. More silver fish than expected. Boated the trifecta in salmon. Couple kings(1-15lb), few cohos and an Atlantic. Had nice 8 lb. steelie and lost 2 others just as big. A few browns as well. Biggest was 7 lbs. Orange crush Bay rats, citric shad bombers were top plugs with mixed veggie and greasy chicken wing on spoons. 80-100 ft leads and inside boards I used 1oz weights to get down an additional 5-6 ft. on plugs and spoons Speed was 2.1-2.3

    I would say it has been removed.

    Sandy is clear all the way through. Small ice chunks toward the mouth but looks pretty good. Now we just need the winds to cooperate.

    Ice is still from East Lake Rd. bridge north but heavy flow and with warm temperatures again in the near future we can hope 7-10 days to push out to the lake. creek is open south of bridge.

    Canon responded and they said lifetime warranty. Bring it in to Krenzer’s to swap out body.

    Speed was at the ball.

    Only fished 3 hrs. and kept us busy on only a few rods. Had a canon downrigger almost go in the water to start off the day. the plastic mold on the bottom of the rigger broke and luckily I was standing there as it started toward the water. One rigger down 55-65 ft /200 ft took 3 kings and the cheater above it was busy with 2 steelhead and a coho. lost 1 other steelie and had a dipsy 90 on a 3 setting rip. Largest king was 25.4 lbs. 2 face has been very hot on kings and NBK silver back on cheater lines. Speed was 2.3-2.5

    Started in 100 ft. and kept moving out. the 150 had a little activity on the screen and took 1 skippy and another knock off. Look pretty dead out to 250 turned went back in and the fleas were much worse closer in. Picked up and went out to 300-330 and picked up 4 kings and had a break off. 1st one of the year All fish were on down riggers & sliders. 35-50'. Two face seemed to be the go to spoon with a laser spook rippin a couple. Had only 1 rip on the dipsy and it was off as quick as it hit. I moved the wire dipsy all over looking for some action. Water temp on top is 66 and 90 down was 59. Bring spray because those flies are a biting.

    Went out for an afternoon and started in 30 -50 ft. 3color leadcore went 1st 10 minutes with a green jean moonshine. Leadcore conitued to produce salmon today and green jeans was the kings choice of lure today. DIvers were quiet and I kept changing patterns and depths but could not get them to fire. 1st time all season they have not been the consistent producer. Had the smart troll working on the divers and drop weights off the boards and that is going to be key when fishiing deeper water. Had 2 lakers on high boards (8ft/40ft.) one tipping the scales over 15 lbs. Couple football browns toward the end of the afternoon in 30 ft. All spoon program today. We ran out to 100 ft. to look and there was a lot of debris out there but no fish until we came back to 50ft, Water temp was 45 degrees. Speed was 2.2-2.4 .

    Started inside but water was gin clear east and we moved out to 30-35ft ft and found pods of browns. They hit just about everything you put out there. Had a ix presentation o f plugs and spoons before goint to an all spoon program. Anything with green was working good along with an old time evil eye yellow/orange. Worked them for a while boating a dozen and headed west to look at new water. Out in front of Hamlin in 50-55 ft of water found some salmon and boated a couple of teenagers on a DW SS Chicken wing & blue dolpin. 1st kings oof the year and love to hear those reels scream again. 1st king did not like the boat and took 4 different runs as soon as you thought he was done. 2nd one decided to see how many lines he could cross over as he headed to Canada then back to the shoreline. A little mess but no loss tackle. Great day to be out onthe water.
