Being the late comers I didn’t want to jump into anybody’s troll line so I steered my Mistress well out into the middle and worked a line that historically pays off for me and within an hour we boated a nice fat and healthy 22” salmon. Try as I did to spin on the spot inconspicuously it was not subtle enough and two boats were onto us. I made one more pass back through and missed a hit on a diver. Instead of running back through a third time I opted to let the two other boats who most certainly were fishing the derby work that area and I continued straight into barren waters and stared at a blank screen on the fish machine for another 2 1/2 hours which was fine because it was a beautiful day and the wife was content.
The bite we did find was at 40’ and the one salmon we boated ate a chart. green and silver Speedy Shiner on a rigger 50’ off the ball.
Another excellent day on the water and kept the skunk off the boat
