Well my daughter came up to get out of the Arizona heat so we took the boat out fishing. Started out slow, but after about an hour it picked up.

The sonar was lit up with fish most of the time. Tried a couple of the Kokobow lures and a pink mini hoochie this time with no success. We then switched up to 2 different versions of wedding rings behind sling blade dodgers and that made things happen.

Caught 3 nice fat cutthroat trout and some other fish for a total of 8 fish in 3 hours. We were only out on the water for about 3 hours (daughter doesn't think much time longer is needed) she wanted to go in so we did. Fished the same area I did last week that was successful and it still was (SW tip of Mercer Island in the middle of the channel). Much more bait balls this time out and lots more fish on the sonar.

Ran the Fishhawk temp probe down on the DR ball to the bottom at 120ft. Water temp was 70 degrees on the surface and it remained almost that temp until you got to 45ft. Temp at 55ft was 55 degrees and that where we set our gear. That was the money spot. Go get em. Be safe! -G
