Got fish dialed in a litter better today - not fast, but enough to get serious about.
7 for 11 (3 chinook, 2 coho, 2 lakers - also lost large king 20' from boat and a steelie which cleared the water by 3 feet a couple times. Chinook landed were sporty 6-7lbers.
8 lines in from 7am-noon. stayed within one-half mile of Lighthouse, 40' of water best, lots of bait inside 30' in dirty water. Most hits 15-30' down on spoons (Lemon Ice, Get-R-Done, Wrecking Ball each hit a couple of times), one coho and steelhead hit Thin Fish on surface. .

DBF, which marina are you launching from? By the way, nice work on those fish. Maybe things are shaping back up some. A few more good reports and I'll try to make the 275 mile journey again. Keep on kicking fish tail. BMOC this week !!

Three Buoys is in slip at Washington Park Marina.
Water temps, clarity and baitfish were all good today, but after so many disappointments last year and earlier this spring when everything seemed right I'm done with forecasting.
Of note, charters did well on lake trout in 80-100', but a couple boats which ran to 175' and beyond could not find the coho they worked over last week.
Shriner's contest in town Fri-Sat, and they'll fish for all species, so should get good handle on what and how many fish available
