Yeah, we saw sooooo much bait it was boiling in there. I even filmed bait jumping and bait on my sounder. I couldn't believe we didn't even have an undersized spring hit, but I didn't use my white glow hootchi until the powder warf. A day late and a dollar short, story of my life.

Thanks for the reports!

What sized white hochie are you guys using? Thanks in advance and thanks for the morseby trolling info.

Hamley yesterday. 35 and 51 on the riggers trolling in 53 to 95 feet of water. Herring aid color flasher and spoons were the only thing working.

Hectic solo netting job this morning at Wymond. 147 on the rigger. Gold nugget CK and raspberry flasher. Was a tough one to get anything happening but this wild was fun!

Thinking of taking my boys out tomorrow or Sunday has anyone been successful in the last few days? Hoping for a pointer in the right direction. Is Hamley still good or should we try somewhere else?

Have a wonderful weekend!

So, what happened put there

My 6 year old got his first salmon off Coal it was right away when we dropped to jig. He had it at the boat before I had the net ready. I just pulled it up on the line, put it at the back of the boat and it spit out the lure and did a few flips and bam back in the water.

Great fishing story, I felt so bad putting it in that spot of the boat the fish could jump out but the boys had fun and he was super excited.

Beautiful day on the water though!
