Thanks bro I hope so
Today I woke up at 400 am. Got ready to go fishing solo. It was impromptu, so I woke the wife and told her. She said if I wait until a reasonable time she'll come and sort out the electronics for me. I figured it was worth it. We got to the boat at 1000am. Screwed around with the electronics a bit. She got it working halfway. Then I discovered the downriggers were left on last time, no counters, no spare battery. No depth since I'm waiting on a cable for the new transducer. I decided it was calm enough to head to Thrasher. By the time we got to the hump the wife was sick. Because she was reading about the transducer the whole time. Normally doesn't get sea sick. She told me to try the hump for a bit. The water at the hump looked like chocolate milk. I assumed it was pointless, but I tried for an hour. While I was screwing around with the electronics I missed a hit. Typically I have everything in perfect order. Today I felt like a deadbeat, wife wasn't feeling any better, so we took off. I'll have a make up day one weekday this week.

You can find those in 20' of water
What are you using today? Because of you I switched from 3.5 spoons to needle spoons and coho killers. Caught way more after the switch. So I appreciate your thoughts on spoons. I'll be out tomorrow
Happy to share and nice to hear when it works for others as well. Bait was getting bigger so coho killers working very well. 100- 115 on the rigger is bringing in most fish and bigger fish! After reading a post where fish were getting caught 40-50 gave it a shot but nada. 100 is the ticket for me right now. Good luck and tight lines
Today we started at RC. Lots of boats, we got a couple Chinook but fairly insignificant size. Approx mid 50s cm. Tons of weeds in the water. At 100 pm we moved over to grace. At grace we got a ton of action, got three decent fish. Two hatchery at Approx 65 and one big wild at about 75. The brighter flashers worked better and the big guy was caught on a splatter back green hoochie. The rest were caught on sand lance spoon. Great day.
