We started just south of Thompson’s Pt heading north and before I could get the second rigger set we had a fish on, and then it was gone as fast as it hit. I finished setting both riggers at 25’ and 2 slide divers set on #4 120’ back and we made a pass up along the ledges where Dry Net was so I gave him plenty of berth and we headed across the abyss to NY and started picking away at silver and slime, about a 3/1 ratio and dipped into the south end of Whallon briefly but the fish machine didn’t look promising so we crossed back over and picked up doubles over 400 FOW so naturally I spun around hard and we worked that area the next 2 hours racking up a total of 9 salmon, dumped 8 and well over 20 lake trout, none over 7#, and our biggest salmon over the rail was a super fat almost 19” specimen. The primary bite was at 25’ with sliding cheaters also producing, silver and blue Speedy Shiner was the rock star followed by Bomb Pop.
We called it a day at 1:00, I think Matt was tired from reeling in fish
We kept 4 salmon to smoke for Christmas Eve and another excellent day on the water. I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
