well mike and i made it out to American and as we arrived at 5:00 am there were lots of boats there to welcome us .we waited our turn and had small talk about the fishing.we get in the water and under way water temp at 58.9 down from last Thursday of 60.1degrees.we get our dodger and single hook maggot and dodger and wedding ring down to 25ft and 35ft .we were headed towards the east side of the the main island where we had such good success the week before.we see the other boats have the same idea so we fished north of the fleet and we started of slow but before the sleepy head bobs we started to get some fish to bite but we miss and long distance release around three or four .hmmm what to do ?we put two hooks on the wedding ring and on that the setup was dodger green wedding ring two hooks,one with maggot one with artificial maggot ,the other setup was dodger and single egg hook with real maggot and artificial one on an orange spatter colored dodger.the other dodger was prism and silver.we were in 50 to 65 ft of water ,back 15 ft off the down riggers and 35ft down .last weeks speed was .9 to 1.3mph ,this time we ran at 1.3 to 1.6 and what a difference in catch speed.the old sayin is go so very slow but we weren't getn the action so we tried a little something different and it worked.both setups produced fish but the nod went to most fish on dodger and single egg hook setup with fake and real maggots on goldstar orange spatterback dodger.no fish caught below 35ft on this day,fish were surfacing all the time we were there.we seemed to have the fishing to our selves after 10am i guess people think you cant catch kokes after mid morning but we caught fish all day,we left off the water at 3:00pm .two kokanee trips and two limits and I'm hooked !all fish were 12 to close to 14 inches mostly females some with eggs.
