Ran east to NB from Portage per usual when conditions permit and set ip in 100' which was much shallower than the other boats from that area. Set up with the southwest breeze, 4 riggers and 2 boards with 275 and 300 steel.  Nice temp break at 60' with 54 degrees down to 47 degrees 110' down.  At about 120' hit a chunky coho on the 275 which gave us hope that perhaps there were some lingering silver to be had.  Picked up a small king shortly thereafter but able to release it in the water to hopefully see in another year or two.  Slowed down considerably after that all the way out 190' and starting losing the marks as well so turned back in.  A lot of fish being marked down 115' - 125' which we assumed we lakers but dropped a rigger down there to keep them honest and each time we did a laker within 10 minutes.  There were a bunch down there but we fished above them in the temp zones for silver.  Could have easily limited on lakers but ended 6-6 with everything but a brown trout.
