Got out for the first time of the season Friday and Sunday. Friday we headed east and set up at 130 fow by 8:00 AM. We managed one 17 lbs'r 65/130 in the moring and a 12.5 lbs'r 65/230 in the afternoon. Sunday was far more productive for us. Headed NW of the chute at got set up at 6:00 AM at 90 foot for awhile and only marked one pod of baitfish. We went deeper to 150-175 range and spent most of the rest of the day there. It was a slow morning with few marks of fish or bait but the fish were there. Most boats gave it up and by 11:00 AM when we got our first fish we were near alone out there. By 1:00 PM we were all alone. We went 5 for 5 on the Kings btwn 11:00-3:30 weighing in at 27/26/23/17/6 lbs. The wind was blowing from the NE with waves 2-3 feet and all the fish were caught while we were trolling with the wind, all 100 down on the rigger over 150 fow, all in the same vicinity on the GPS and all but one on a Pro-Troll Glo-Green blade with a G-Fly green-glo e-chip fly. One fish was caught on an NK28 Green Puke spoon stacked at 88'. By our second fish, and after seeing another boat catch one in that same area, we figured out the pattern and would pull up all the lines and shoot back to the beginning, reset the rigs and head west trolling through the same area again. Trolling into the wind was an unproductive waste of time and harder on the kidneys. Hope to get out one more time this week, maybe late afternoon, before I head on vacation for a week. Tight lines.
