Made it out after a few week hiatus.  Good to be back on the water.  All reports called for calm wind and waves except NOAA, so we went for it.  Well, NOAA was right.  Waves built to 3-4's with occasional 5's once in a while.  Fishable, but bumpy for sure.  We ran out to 270 and trolled north.  Depth ranged up to mid 290's and then a slow taper up to a finishing depth of 225.  Our north number was 28 when we pointed it for home.  We finished 12 for 19 or 20 on the day.  Forgot the log book today, so this is from memory.  We released one nice laker and two twinkie kings and kept the rest.  One steelie and the rest kings from 4-10.5#.  Nice silver fish.  Good news, was the ones I cleaned were ALL packed full of bait.  Small bait, but packed. 

Now for the catching.  First fish came about the 17.5 line and we had decent action up to the 19's, then just picked away, including taking two fish while pulling lines in the upper 27's.  Fish were mostly deep.  In no particular order, we had 4 or 5 rips on blue/green dolphin (proto) on high diver set to three 125 back, one rip on low diver set to 225 on 1.5 with white/ white slick spinnie with white/glow fly, and 1 or 2 rips on other high diver 125 back with Sunfire (#69).  Riggers were slow.  One came on Blue Mahi (#82) on stacker set at 110 down,  and two on mashed mahi (proto) on two colors off the rigger down 100.  Core took many hits.  4 or 5 hits on Sour Apple (#29) on the 15 color, two hits on mashed mahi (proto) on 21 colors, two on clear spinnie with green holo and purple mirage on 18 colors and 2 rips on 13 color Lemon Fire glow (#76) size 500 . 

Water was 61 and change on top and never sent a probe down.   We consistantly marked fish down around 90 down.  Long run back, but beats getting sick trolling into them.  Great day to be out there.
