Area 10 was dead today. Fished the oil docks all morning and marked a few schools but they couldn't be less interested in my gear. I think it had to do with the 200 odd boats that were also there. The...

Not a great start to chinook for me! Fished west bar from 7-12, between 150 to 90 feet of water. Down rigger ranged from 80 to 45. Caught an absurd amount of shakers despite the faster trolling speed....
