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.

Similar report outta Hughes. I fished the afternoon and the bite was steady, at times hectic. 12-15 fow seemed to be the ticket. I ran all stickbaits on boards and the natural patterns were the ticket. I started with a my secret in the mix but it never got touched. Switched to a firetiger and same result. Everything that had a natural pattern got hit. 3 hours fishing solo, finished with 7 browns and 2 small cohos. One brown went 6lbs. Everything else was 2-4lbs. The Cohos were a double. I wanted to turn and make another pass but the rain was moving in so I headed for the dock. Don't mess with Lake O in 15' tinny, lol!
