Fished with Reel tales and another friend today.  Set up a little before 7am and fished till 1:30pm. Started about 2 miles north of the harbor in 45fow on a north troll. Had 1st fish on in 5 min on a 150 copper(laker), before he was in rigger fired 29’ down which turned out to be a real nice King that was 23+ pounds which Reel tales battled for about 30min before we lifted it over the rail.  Don’t think I sat down for more than a minute until 10am after that as we caught and released a bunch of lakers and also began to pick away at coho. Hoped to find another king but no luck and switched over to a mostly coho program around 11am.  We ran a track north and south from about 2 miles north of the harbor to a little south of the harbor rest of the day.  35-45 fow was best and most every rod got hit. D/F and body baits took most of the coho. Ended up around 27 for 33. We kept 1 king, 1 laker and 10 coho, the rest were lake trout that we released at the back of the boat. Good luck!
