Hey Seacat,
Thanks for the advice.........AGAIN!! The only thing Dangerous Dave and myself did different today than our fishless monday was that we moved over to 180 - 210 feet and SPEED! Increased that trolling speed and had 5 hook ups this morning; 18 , 10 and 6 pounders in the boat, one shaker and one broken leader between the flasher and herring hood. 4 hook ups with the downrigger at 120 and one at 90. Hit the first fish right after you talked to DD on the cell and it was hot after that til about 10:30. Have a good trip to Sekiu, hope you nail 'em!!

jeff'e'd,

I'm fishing the western side of the Area 10/11 boundary.

umrules, no problem. Glad to hear you guys had some success.

I made it out yesterday morning and had another decent day. The bite didn't come on until the begininning of the in tide. Jeff had a nice one in his boat early and I saw a couple of others taken, but generally it was slow. We bonked a 12 and a 13 in addition to the 6 shakers we released. A couple of those shakers were pretty decent little fish, right at the 22" size limit.

Had to go deep for'em, got our bites between 8:00 and 8:20. Once we found 'em, we scored quick. Same rig, slightly different technique, was the trick.

I talked with another PP poster at the ramp on the way out yesterday who indicated he had a really good night on Wednesday. He reported 2 16's a 20 and a 24 pounder. Not too bad!

I was the one who talked to Seacat. Its good now I have been using fresh herring. Which Interphase do you have Seacat? I am thinking of upgrading to the Advantage by them I have an older unit now. This was the way it was last year except we had a dry spell in the middle of July. I took my son out that day Seacat and we got a nice fat 25" Blackmouth no mature fish though. I am going out tomorrow night though. Too bad I have duty tonight gotta earn my paycheck from Uncle Sam.

Jason,

It's an older DC-1000. My dad bought it around 1990 and it's been used on 2 boats. It's been a great finder, it's a little dated, but the screen is real nice. Works for me.

July can be a little spotty, but every tide change brings another opportunity out there. I think that one of the big keys out there is knowing what the tides are doing and locating the fish based on that knowledge. Find bait, find fish.

Nice meetin' ya. See you around...

Fished the last two nights evening lows. o bait no fish. This coming weekend looks lousy with the big tides.
