Fished with Bomber Charters yesterday for one of my bachelor parties (taking the plunge next weekend) and did well. Boxed 18 legal eyes up to 30.5", 3 steelhead and 1 coho salmon. Lost 2 nice steelies and several nice eyes to pulled hooks (should have had our 6-man limit). Also landed between 24 and 30 small eyes 13" to 16.5" that went back. Good sign for the next couple of seasons. Had a great time on the boat and with my family and friends.
Small dipsies off the boards with meat on harnesses got the majority of the eyes with a couple off the bigger dipsies set on 3 and 3.5 back 150 to 160 on plugs and spoons. Not up on all the crazy names for the stinger spoons but the one on the one rigger caught most of the steelies and the coho. Had a few doubles and several 10 minute stretches with 4-6 hook-ups. If you find the fish, get a waypoint and work it over. Now I have the bug again and will need to start working on my Erie boat and get it set-up in time for next season.
