·Left the harbor about 10:30. Lots of boats trolling the shoreline between Com Ed and Johnsons, looking for Coho. Stayed away from all of the inshore boats for a while, just to show them how smart I was. Didn't catch squat.
Jumped on the inshore carousel for a spin. Didn't catch squat. Fog bank came and went, in a 30 minute period. Pulled up our baits, and bolted South, to Great Lakes Navel. Many boats. Flatlined in 7 ft just South of the harbor with orange dodger squid, 1/2 oz rubber core weight hot-n-tot, orange dodger/green tinsel fly (one big,one small), and landed about half of the 8 Coho that hit. Another fog bank, this one was to stay for 3 hours. New owner of used boat had no GPS/Loran. Fishing sucks when you don't know where you are. Decided to troll North and South, along the breakwall (just to keep something in site. Marked fish--no hits. Gave up on the upper 3rd of the water colum, and decided to bounce the bottom with blue/chome. BINGO---Non-stop--. Had to get going, so we trolled (really felt out way just offshore) north to South rocks. Again, really sucks with no navagation. Fog burned off just as we arrived. Caught 1 more Coho, and went in. All in all, it was a tough day. We did stick it out though, and we did get our 2 man limit, with 2 quality fish. One 18.2lb Brown (which I released)and a 14.8lb King, which I will smoke. The 5 Coho were all your regular 1 to 2 lb eaters, and the 4 Browns we kept, were 3 to 6lbs. Except for the 4 early Coho in 7 ft, all the rest were caught in 12 to 18 fow. And ALL were caught on blue/chome spoons. Water temp from 41.3 to 43.7. If I were to fish tomorrow, I would start out with spoons, close to the bottom, and adjust from there !!!
