Paul and I had great night of fishing from 6 to 9:45pm on Wednesday. It started off with the same lead line getting the first 3 hits (2 in the box). It was a 15 color lead line with a magnum white wonderbread spoon. We got the idea, and put a magnum silver wonderbread on a downrigger and then that took a fish. So I looked for any other similar spoons to put out there. I found a magnum bloody nose with a big black dot and tried that because it was the closest in color/size. Then that took a fish. Dipsies and flies were quiet all night. We ended the night 6 for 10, 5 kings and a nice 9 lb steelhead. We had two double headers before 8 pm. During one double, a huge king, 15 lbs or so, had its way going through our lines and making big mess - we ended up losing both fish. We spent most our time in 120 to 130 FOW. We heard from another boat fishing close to us that at 8:30 they didn't have any hits yet. Most of the action on my boat was before 8pm. The water was calm, 67 degrees on the surface, a great sunset, and a refreshing swim after the lines were up.
