Trolled a solo lap last night from 7:30 to 8:30 pm at Epsom. Started in shallow at 90' or so and moved out steadily to the NW contours. Got a few small ones and then this slot Chinook at 135'. Herring aid 3.5 glow spoon and lemon lime flasher.



Bright red meat. Stuffed with 4-5 anchovies at various stages of digestion.

Quick solo lap at Epsom this morning, 7:30 to 8:15 on the slack low tide. Worked out to the west from the elbow in tight to the marker, one rod up high and one on bottom.

Got out to about 160’, rigger at 155’. One hit, one chinook just squeaking into the slot at 79cm.



Stuffed full of anchovies from stomach to mouth, including these freshly eaten ones with the bite marks clearly marked.



Even grabbed the collars for the grill. As the kids say, IYKYK.
