Glad to see them and hope to catch them next year. Hyperplaid dodgers pink and white squids and speed was 1.8 to 2. Tried orange as that usually works well but no takers. Fish for me were hanging around mid 30s depth. I have noticed that the Rock Arm fishes better early and the main bay at entrance to arm fishes better towards 10am or so. Did mark a couple of schools but fish are still scattered. Makes for some long trolling runs and lots of S curves. All my fish hit the rod that was accelerating during turns. May kick up the speed next time. As usual bows were around but mostly at 20 foot depths.
I thought you were going North to Montana this week are you back already? Sure glad to see some of those bigger Kokes coming in this year. With the Berry slowing down and the Nelle being closer, it's hard to drive that extra hour to maybe catch a limit. We tried speeds up to 2 & 2.2 but never caught a fish. For us only one bow on this trip and no other fish other than kokes. So were you up there on Weds? If so was that beached boat still there?
