I didnt get a chance to fish last weekend due to work, so I was really looking foward to today. Got out to the launch about 830am. Overcast skies, pretty mild temp, and little to no wind. I thought fishing would be really hot today but I was proved wrong. Me and the girlfriends brother started out trolling wedding rings with maggots with not a bite for the first 2 hours. There were lots of surfacers so i decided to try a wolly bugger just below the surface, no luck either. went back to wedding ring, this time behind a flasher setup(which i never do) and no luck. The only fish of the day came on a green and orange wedding band with maggots. It was a 12inch cutthroat that was released. good luck to all.

Were you the guy that was loading your boat next to me. I was deflating my zodiac in the grass. It was strangely slow for me. I was using my typical set up of a 1.5oz weight on a 3-way swivel with my wedding band so im not sure exactly how deep i was since i dont have downriggers on the zodiac. good job on your quick limit. boat traffic was pretty light today so i was expecting a good day, but it just never happened for me, not sure what went wrong....

I dont think so... i was in the white boat, i was driving the Gold Dakota, had the family with me,little boy and girl and the wife. try a 1.5 oz or 2 oz bannana weight off your main line, then about a foot of line off the weight tie a small dodger(silver has been doing the trick) then your wedding ring off the dodger about 18 inches back, copper blade tipped with shoe peg corn. the fish are at 15 feet down on the money.

I will agree with the white shoe peg corn that always seems to perk them up. I also like to use the color pink. I do alot of hand tyed but that kok killer that looks like a fly with a rubber worm head works good too.
