The first official shakedown of the year in our boat went relatively problem-free.  Lines were dropped at 4:00 and pulled at 6:30.  We ended up 4/4 with a 20 lb laker, 10 lb laker and 2 coho.  We were mainly targeting kings in 50 fow like everyone else with 100/200 coppers and spoons on riggers.  The morning bite seemed a lot more hot and heavy according to dock talk but the beautiful weather made up for the slow night.

Anytime you can catch fish on a shakedown is always a good trip. Nice work.
