Anyone happen to see the picture of the fish High Adventure charters caught this week on the river? I caught a glimpse of it on his Instagram story. Looked well over 30lbs. Wondering if anyone on here had the fish story?

First off, this is the latest I've kept the boat in the water, so maybe what I'm seeing is normal. Was fishing in 100' of water last night just off of Sandy Creek. Every few minutes I would see kings surfacing. I'm used to seeing it in shallower water, and in the estuary. Just find it abnormal to see it that far from shore. The last few weeks I have been fishing in deeper water, and was regularly seeing marks on the sonar going from the bottom of the lake all the way to near surface, in an almost straight vertical line. What's the science behind kings coming to the surface and intentionally coming into warmer surface water temps, when cooler water is available?

Currently fishing in front of the power plant. 140 FOW. Tons of coho. 2 in the cooler so far. One more and we're headed home. Quick and easy. Blue spoon and green flasher fly is getting it done pretty good.

Just to close this up, in case anyone in the future is looking to do the same. Kept it simple, used a dual cable helm, one steering cable to the rudder, the other to the kicker. Kicker turns with the rudder all the time. Which is helpful because the kicker acts like a rudder angle indicator, helps when docking. No real increase in steering effort.

I'm ready to move on from my old moor sub troll unit. I bought it used when I first got into salmon fishing, but its time for a upgrade. I cant seem to make it a whole season without the coated cable getting damaged, leaving a large clump of coating to get hung up in the antenna and then destroying it. I'm looking at the Fish Hawk Lithium Multi System, I believe it replaced the old X2 system? Although I don't need a portable unit, I really don't want to drill any more holes in the transom for another transducer, and the slip ducer seems like a good alternative. I'm looking for negative reviews of the unit. Any problems with the slip ducer losing signal with the probe? Any cons to the slip ducer set up?

Quick report. Still on the water. Lots of fish 8 miles south of stony Island (Jefferson County)140fow. Fish are tight to the bottom. Waters warm, but they'll bite if you get close enough. 2 in the boat so far. Caddy Shack seems to be the winning spoon today.

Did you download the LiTime app? I have the same battery you have, the app is basic, but it will tell you if there are any issues with the bms. I have a DC to DC charger on my boat that is used to charge the Lithium battery from the starting battery while the engine is running.

Cold water in mexico Bay today. Currently a touch south of the Salmon River. In 40 feet of water. Surface temp is 72. Water temp at 30 foot is 54.

I fished between Mexico and Oswego today. First skunk of the year. Fish finder was blank all day. Did run into lots of bait around 80FOW, with lots of marks picking them off (probably browns) The kings are moving a lot. They weren't were I found them last week. Some chatter on the radio this morning that the Kings were far north of the salmon river. Going to make a run up there tomorrow morning. Not quite an Oswego report, sorry.

Correct, cable steering.

I have a brand new 35 gallon tank that is taking up space if you need one. Not sure if it will fit your boat. It's for sale if you're interested.

All, This was my first season running a single screw inboard (early 80's tunnel drive Penn Yan) I've been using the tiller for steering my 9.9 kicker. On my previous boat I used a tie bar connected to the main outboard, so I could steer from up front. Looking for suggestions to tie the kicker to my current rudder steering (that doesnt include drilling a hole in the rudder). I see alot of inboards in the marina that have the kicker tied to the main steering. So I know its being done. I did a quick search on here, did find a old post that mentioned a cable that could attach to the rudder cable, and then attach to the kicker. But I can find any part numbers online. Anyone feeling generous enough to give me a description of their system? I really dont want to buy one of those electro steering kits.

Would be cheaper and definitely easier to just replace it with another ford.

I haven't ran into a steelhead yet this year. And I'm still looking to catch my first one. Anyone willing on sharing some tips on location as far as steelhead go for this time of year? I'm on the eastern end of the lake (Mexico Point)

2 downriggers, one copper down the chute. If the water is calm and the winds are light I might run the copper on a planer board.
