GLF

We fished the final qualifying event for the GLFTT today. Ended up 7 for 8(9?). 6 chinook, and 1 coho.
On the way out in the morrning, the channel was loaded with bait fish. Seeing this on the fish finder, we switched to plan B, and ran out to 40FOW, hoping the lake had rolled. NOT!
Making the best out of a wrong call, we set lines and trolled out to 80FOW. Once we hit 80FOW, we picked up our first fish. At 9:30, we were in front of Mona Lake, sitting on 3 fish. I made the call to pull lines, and we ran 6 miles North, and we dropped in at 100FOW. I started setting the 3rd line when the second rigger fired! We worked this area for the last 1:45 more hours and picked up 3 more fish before it was time to pull lines to run in.
We picked up:
2 fish on a Blue Mylar Silver Horde plug.
2 fish on a Blue Mylar Silver Horde ACE Hi
2 fish on a Green Mylar Silver Horde plug
1 fish on a Double Glow Chartruse Splatter back
I do not remember the lure we lost our fish on.
We had one full core with a 4oz dive bomb and a Green Chrome Splatter Back Silver Horde ACE Hi, break off at the board. I am not sure if this was because a fish hit it, or it just came apart. We did recover the board.
All of our fish came from 80-100FOW. A 1/2 core took a coho. Everything else came from 50+ feet deep. Most were within 20' of the bottom.
Here is a picture of our catch today.
