SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Dad and I headed out Saturday morning and found a big pack of boats working the inside water so we motored out to 80 fow and set up. We worked the inside for a while and despite a reasonable temp profile (55 deg down 60) and a great picture on the graph with lots of bait and hooks, we couldn't get anything going other than a 3 lb brown out in 150 fow. Radio chatter seemed to suggest that most of the boats were experiencing the same, great screen but not a lot of action so after a couple hours, we pulled lines and ran offshore. Set up at the 28 line and trolled north.

We worked the 28-31 lines and had a mix of mostly decent steelhead and a couple shaker kings, with one nice mature king of 23 lbs.

By 11:30 the wind, which had shifted to the E-SE had started to build the offshore seas to 2+ out of the east and that started to make the N-S troll a little uncomfortable, so we pulled lines and called it a morning.

I wasn't really keeping track but we probably caught 15-16 fish (mostly all released, kept the mature king and a couple bleeder steelies) and lost quite a few more. (Action included 1 triple header, lots of fun with 2 of us on board)

Temps were higher offshore, we had 48 deg down 45.

The mature king took a white/green dot SD and hammer fly on the wire diver back 140, took a couple shots on a lemon drop DW plug (J-plug style ) on the 160 diver, the rest were on the riggers at 35 and 45 on a variety of green spoons.
