There are two separate schools of fish that we are targeting, the Salmon and Lake Trout. First decide which species you want to go after and then fish for them specifically. There are silver fish in real shallow water (40 to 60 feet) and Lake Trout out deeper (80 to 120 feet). Spoons are working best for the silver fish, but make sure your speed is appropriate for their needs (around 3 knots S.O.G.) Riggers down 40 feet are taking the majority of Salmon, while the Lakers are preffering big dodgers with a green fly of "Blue-boy" on the bottom. SLOW is the key for them, hit the bottom with your ball and pull it up a foot. Make sure it is all the way down for maximum bites. Speed should be 1.8 knots S.O.G. to 2.1 knots. Slower the better! There are Salmon out deep, but make sure you chose your species and watch your speed. When fishing for the Lakers I run only 3 riggers and 2 copper lines only. Triple headers are more common than not. We had 4 triples and had our Trout limit! Then pull lines and "rip spoons" for Kings in the shallows for the rest of our limit..
Perch are hitting real well at the harbor mouths on soft-shells and minnows.
