The closest we fished to shore was 2 miles. Our most consistent action was at least 3 miles and up to 6 miles out. When we were there the tide was running west in the A.M. and east in the P.M. In the morning we ran N.W. from Olson's out 5 1/2 miles to 5-600 ft. of water. In the afternoon we ran straight out of Olson's 2 1/2-3 miles and fished the same depth.

Right after first light we trolled 1/2-3 oz. of lead and a herring right on top,about 25 pulls out. After about 9 A.M we had to run deep 6's and a flasher with either herring or a hootchie with a strip of herring. With the deep 6's we ran 7-10 passes on a penn 109 to get the right depth.

The fish are probably averaging 6-8lbs,with a few fish each day being weighed over 12lbs. I called Olson's before we got there and they said the fish were averaging 12-14 lbs...yea right! While we were there I saw 4 fish over 12lbs brought to Olson's. The fish are getting bigger every day,but don't expect the fish to be real big for a week or so.

P.S. if you don't hook a fish in 10-15 minutes,pick up and run somewhere else,don't waste all day trolling around if you aren't hooking fish.
