Smoke gone, at least for today..nice to see some blue sky...Being a little uncertain of ramp conditions, I didn't want to get there in semi-darkness, took our time, and launched about 0800..there were already about a dozen empty trailers in the lot, and more joined in the aquatic adventures after we launched....unfortunately only about 1/4 were fishing boats, so the surface got churned up no matter where you were on the water...Still....good to get out....I haven't fished here since my one unsuccessful event last year....so it was nice to have a fairly positive experience this morning....2 downriggers, 2 planer boards deployed...a few hits early at 18/19', then after more experimenting we actually caught 4 nicer 'bows, all around 30' down....both our planer boards were hit 2 or 3 times, about 23 to 28', but we didn't hook those good enough...still fun to see the planer board take off....No kokes, but these were hitting typical koke sets, and several did the jumps like a koke, so way more fun to catch than a cutt....all fish caught were with nite crawler piece on each hook...corn didn't work for us today...Guluk...
