The catching was slow but we ended up with 4 kokes and 5 bows. Water temps were 69 to 72 degrees, we caught most of our fish on Roberts homemade apex lures down around 20 to 30 ft. Enjoyed getting out with you again Robert, thanks for the invite.



Caught most of the bows on one of True Blues new dodgers but no kokes.

Here is a better pic.

Only the 20+ inch Kokes were pinkish. Weird thing the last two days is all my fish including bows hit when I trolling west - away from sun. All the fish I saw other boats catch were also trolling west. It's usual for one direction to fish better but this was extreme. Trolling in any other direction was a waste.

The water might still have six inches of frothy foam on it by Tuesday . I just looked at the entrance camera (1400) and there are 3 lanes of vehicles as far as you can see waiting to get through the check station.
