    I've been at the same Marina for a few seasons (Salmon Country, great place). Looking for a change of scenery. I've been fishing out of the Little Salmon River the last few seasons, any marina/campgrounds between the Little Salmon and Oswego or North of the Salmon River? I find myself spending more time fishing north of Oswego or up towards Sandy Creek these days. Wouldn't mind a slightly shorter boat ride.

    I've gotten caught by a sneaky south wind in Mexico Bay. I make it a habit now to check my Windy app every hour or so while on the water.

    Fished yesterday, got the snot kicked out of me. Rough with the wind. Water was pretty warm, 67 degrees at 90 was the coolest I could find. Wanted to go further north, but the south winds were too brutal. Ran into a decent pod of staging kings in 90 foot just north of the power plant. Nothing big. Two smaller males, was good to get them out of the gene pool lol. Caught them all on a UV Caddy Shack.

    Caught this last week, and of course my scale broke. Length is close to 34. Using the bump board for reference, from top of back to bottom of belly is at least 12 inches, girth is maybe 27 inches? Can anyone give me a rough estimate of weight. My previous best is 20lbs. So I'd like to think this is a little larger, maybe 25?

    Currently on a north troll just west of the salmon river. 120 FOW. Marking lots of fish. 51 degree water at 90 feet. Just landed a pissed off 25lb king on a green moonshine spoon. Litte bumpy out here, but it's worth it!

    I haven't caught a fish yet this season. Will most likely fish near and north of the salmon river today. Have had zero luck fishing west towards the power plant.

    We caught a bunch of coho August/September last year on the eastern end. For me I was catching double the coho compared to kings.

    Looks like a juvenile Atlantic. Most likely stocked by the fish creek Atlantic salmon club. If they still exist. I doubt that system is seeing much natural reproduction.

    Looking for preferably a new in box Okuma Convector CV-55S (non level wind). Will take used in good shape. I like to run my large coppers on non level wind reels.

    All the big fish seem to be on the north shore. Last year the largest fish that the credit river captured on video in the fish ladder was approximately 120cm (47") fish on the bottom. I think we will see a 34 pound fish caught on the north shore in Late august.

    Havent heard anything or seen any reviews. I don't think Yankee Trollers review is for the portable multi system. I'll be buying one shortly and we'll see how it works in the spring. I haven't seen any negative reviews from it yet. It has to be an upgrade from my ancient sub troll.

    I can spend all day on that site. There's quite a few big fish caught on that camera, pretty neat!

    Yup, I only saw the survey boat on the little salmon river twice this year on my way back to the marina from the lake. Both times I had been skunked and reported zero fish. I fished 25 days this year, and caught fish 23 out of those 25 days. The state should look into a fish harvest reporting app to get a better idea of what people are harvesting out of the lake. I would have no problem logging in the fish I catch.

    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.

    Skunked yesterday. Had a really good fish on the 400 copper with a magnum spoon in 180 FOW. Guessing it was a big steelhead, saw the fish leap clear out of the water before I had a chance to start reeling some line in. Fought it for a minute before it shook the hook.

    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?

    I had non stop action yesterday. 150 FOW just south of the islands. Kings, Lakers, browns. Tons of fish. I had to pull the lines out just to eat some lunch. Not a bad problem to have. Lost a big hen right at the boat. She was probably 20 plus. Struggling to get her in the net, started handlining her to the net and she gave one last tug and snapped the line. Lost my best spoon of the year. Heading back out tomorrow.

    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.

    If the population is too high, would it make sense to increase the daily limit?
