Fished out of South Haven with Mark(Just Hook'n), my brother Terry, his friend Josh, and my two sons. We left the dock at 5:40am, and fished till 11:00. We ended up 8 for 9(4 chinook, 1 coho, and 3 lake trout), and lost the one because the leader between the diver and the flasher broke. Looks like there was a bad spot on the line. :(
We fished 95-125FOW, and caught are fish from 60-90' down.
Are fished came on the following set ups.
Stinger prochip 8' Super Frog with a Siggs Rigs Aqua Lime Glow pulse fly on a wire diver set on 1.5 with 150' of line out. This is the combo we lost. :(
Stinger hotchip 11" double pearl fish scale with a Siggs Rigs Brushed Stainless trophy fly on a wire diver set on 1.5 with 150' of line out.
Down rigger set at 90' with a Stinger hotchip 11" double pearl fish scale with a Siggs Rigs Brushed Stainless trophy fly went 3 times.
Stingray size Carmel Dolphin on a fixed slider parked 10' above the ball on a downrigger set at 60'.
Stingray size Blue Dolphin on the rigger parked at 60' went once.
Stingray size "GLF" on a down rigger parked at 70' went twice.
The water temp down 60' was 55 degrees. At 70' it was 48 degrees.
This was Josh's first time salmon fishing.

I thought this lake trout was pushing 20lbs when I first put it in the cooler. Then I remembered I was using the smaller of my two coolers, and decided to put it on the scale.
6 of the 8 we caught today.
