Sandy 7/2 morning

[tenatureboy]

Ran west to the nose and set up in 120. Worked westward between 110-160 to bald eagle.  
63 on surface

48 down 80 in most areas 

 

Lots of duck weed and scum in the water to clean from the lines in some areas.  if fleas were there the duck weed and scum hid them

Lost counts of the skippys we released during weed checks on all lines. Lots of 12” chinooks around. Lost 2 good screamers on rigger w meat rig and a diver with spoon. Kept one 6lb king for the grill and a laker (yes we dragged bottom as my buddy wanted a laker)!

divers, riggers and 300 steel all took shots. Black green and silver combos on the meat rig and all spoons that caught fish

Great report, thanks. Question about those skippers, were they all  about the same size, 12 inches? 
 

We are experimenting with ways to survey the juvenile Salmon, both the stocked fish and the wild fish. If those stocked fish are already 12 inches, they are going to be much bigger/tougher to catch in two months.

Most were around 12”. We hit a few bigger skips earlier in the morning in the 15-20” range then couldn’t keep the 12”  fish off the hooks later in the morning.

Fished browns this morning. Started with two down and two divers till I somehow dropped a rod in the water while clearing it. That left us with one down and two divers. Divers never took a shot. The one rigger pulled four browns, the biggest around nine and a half pounds.

One can only hope
