Between the four of us, we ended up with 1 tiny coho. Had a few good take-downs, but nothing would stick for more then a head shake or two. Probalby more cohos.

We were in a sled without down riggers, so we were all using 6-8 ounce leads, 8' leaders with cutt plug herring.

The 5:00 am dogfish bite was phenominal. Once that died down, fishing was slow. I only saw about a dozen kings landed. The checker at the Alki Boat Launch gave us figures that showed approx 1 fish per boat.

How did you all do on Saturday? If you did well, where were you, how deep were you fishing, and what tackle did you use? Did you use downriggers or not? I think the key was the riggers, as the fish we spotted were down deep, and most people we talked to with Kings said they got them deep (100+ feet).

Anyone got a spot in their boat for me? I'd love another shot at an Elliot Bay King. All I can provide are some hooks, some bait (if needed), some gas money, some stories, and some company.
