Had lots of boat problems and didn't get in the water til July and only made it out 5 times all summer, but Dad and I gave it one last shot out of Olcott this morning.
Lots of boat traffic in tight and we played around in there for an hour or so without seeing much on the screen and not many nets moving, so we pointed it north and found a much better picture between 150 and 230 fow with decent temp profile, lots of bait pods and quite a few hooks, but not a lot of activity on the rods. Temp was 48 deg down 70.
Ended up 1 for 1, coming on a white green dot SD and Big Weenie Spook fly on a wire diver back 210. Not a huge fish, maybe 15-16 lbs, but it was a mature hen king full of eggs (AKA egg wagon )
Hopefully have a better season next year.
This was our best fish this year, 27 lb King (Chinook) Salmon caught on July 13
and another nice one that day, 21 lbs
