Today was the first day I was able to fish, part of the time anyway, without a jacket as the winds were light and the sun at times was warm. I had the infamous "Waukegan Wally" and his crew out for his annual coho trip. I set up in 65` of water just South of the line and we had action between 95` and 120` with the 105` depth initially being the best. The `riggers down 60` and 72` with a Black Fin Tuna and Kevorkian took a few hits early on bringing a few Kings to the cooler. As the morning progressed I wandered out to 135` where the boards saw action with the best flies being very small (few strands of tinsel left) in either green or aqua. I switched some spoon colors around and everything I had out seemed to take a hit, boards, `riggers down 14` and 18` as well as the deep ones, #3 dipseys out 40`, and a full core of lead with a bloody nose spoon. It was a great day to be out, with a great group of guys, decent weather and action . We landed 4 Kings between 8-10 pounds, no monsters but a nice addition to the chunky coho :wink: .

There are quite a few marks in the 20`-50` range but the water is stained, hopefully the southwest winds will clear it up a bit for this weekend.

Jim,
Thanks for the report.
It looks like another blow is on it's way and this one may push the fish around again.

Are you finding any fish schooled up or are they still scattered?

It was tuff to get an acurate report this week and it looks like prefishing on Friday is a NO GO.

We will catch you on the water this weekend.

Bob
