After yesterday's silver fish, I ran back to the same area today.  We sat down in 225 and worked with the waves.  Fish started biting while setting lines and continued until 10:15 when we reached our 3 man limit on kings with one bonus coho.  the fish topped out at 11#.  Today's hot bait was the Mashed Bannana glow (12) Nailer on the 450 copper taking 4 fish.  Next was the Blue/ glow e chip on the wire diver back 250 with a Sea Mist Horse Fly taking 3 bites.  Seaweed Horse fly on green glow e chip 180 on wire diver took one, Greenberry glow (18) took one on the rigger 140 down and Bruiiser (31) took one 70 down on the rigger.  Seas were 1-3 and built to 2-4 by the time we ran in.  It was much calmer near shore with the Little Sable land shadow working in our favor.  We landed each bite today finishing 10 for 10.

I was greeted with choppy 2-4 foot seas this morning from the northwest.  We ran to 200 fow and set up shop with the waves.  We finished 5 for 8 all silver fish today.  Fish were 80-165 down.  Nailers in blueberry glow (19), Greenberry glow (18), Lime ice glow (42), mashed bannana glow (12) all took bites on the riggers and 450 copper.  Wire divers on 1 took a bite each with E chip in blue glow and green glow with seaweed and sea mist Horse Flies in tow.  Two kings were just shy of 12# each.  Two fish that we lost were also good sized kings.

Monday 5/19:  Fished 80 - 110 and back to 90 and pulled a small laker and small steelhead.  I picked up lines and ran to the abyss and re-set.  At 355 feet and trolling towards shore.   Not a bite until the 205 range and then between 205 and 185 pulled two undersize lakers and a keeper and two twinkie kings.  Every laker came on a spin n glow off cowbells ticking bottom.  the steelie took a double orange crush on gold prototype on the three color.  The kings came on blueberry glow (19) and Blue Mahi (82) set deep on the riggers.   finished 7/7 with two being throw backs

5/20:   Started out in the mud after marking lots of bait in the channel by the submarine.  The dredger was working and there wasnt as much bait in the outer arms.  We set up shop and pulled one fish on each of the first three loops inside the mud.  All lakers. First fish was on Green berry glow (18) off the rigger set as the stacker 10' above the ball.  next was on a Slide Diver Lite bite set back 65' with a green/ yellow prototype.  Then another prototype (Natural born hornet) took one on the rigger 10' off the bottom.  then we took one ticking bottom with the spin n glow off cowbells, and also missed another one on a slide diver with yellow candy corn glow (37) set back 80'.  After a loop without a bite we pulled lines and ran to 150 and set up shop on a SE troll.  We missed a bite on the spin n glow and then took another laker on an E chip Green/ Glow (special captain Gary's color) trailed by a dark seaweed horsefly ticking bottom in 116', on the wire diver.  Finished 5/7 with all lakers in the 5-9# range.
