A friend was on a good bite out of Kenosha and kind enough to share info. Headed out finding 67.5° water temp just outside the harbor. Greeted by unexpected 2 foot rollers left over from yesterday. Set lines in 120 feet of water heading east south east. Didn’t have half the lines out and a Dipsy fired. It got real busy real fast and went 5 for 6 before 145 feet of water where we turned around.
It’s slowed a bit after 630 but were still getting bites here and there. At 730 we made a pass East With no bite so continued past 145 out to 180 and picked up 3 of 4 on the way. Temperature at 40 feet down range of 48 to 51.5, colder out deeper. Kept the Depth Raider (DRx-10) 2.3-2.6. Did not mark bait and very few hooks. Wondering if our good hook up rate of 22 for 26 related to less bait around and a more aggressive bite. Tripled when we had 19 in the box. Kept 19 Coho , one rainbow and released 2 LT. Creel census at cleaning station said only 3 kings brought in this a.m. checked by them and biggest 17 pounds.
