Blue Fin and I took 23 fish on Monday from Diamond, Welch and Sandy, running lead core and downriggers, 6 to 8 colors and 40 to 50 feet on DRs. Lead took about 5 fish. Most hits were at 40 ft. Took 4 rainbows, 2 lakers, 1 bass, 2 white perch and the rest were yearling salmon. The hot hot lure was TG Winni smelt; other lures taken fish were TG bikini, gold/orange DB, white/multicolor needle fish and others that I forget.
Sounds like you guys had a great day out there. Jack, You'll get spoiled fishing on that boat! You don't even have to steer. Gotta love that auto pilot.
Another successful RFP experience. It's great to be retired and have fishing as a priority. Just rubbing it in to those of you who are still working (a word we retirees hate).
