Wiperslayer and I fished Porcupine today, we boated 17 kokes and lost many more before we could get them to the boat. I was amazed how many we were marking, in some areas they were stacked from 30 to 70 ft deep and they covered the screen. Water temp was 69 degrees when we arrived at 8:30am and it warmed up to 70 before we left at 3:30.
It was a nice day up there until the afternoon when the outside temps started to climb. Too bad the season closes for them on the 15th. We caught them from 30 to 60 ft deep and we were trolling from 1.5 to 2.1 mph but 1.7 MPH(GPS speed) seemed to be the best speed. Can you say piece and quite, sure is nice up there, we only saw 3 other boats. The largest kokes were a little over 13 inches and starting to change color the smaller ones are still silver. WH2
