Wellington / Scotch Bonnet

Anyone seeing any salmon or steelehead out at the Bonnet yet? I can't keep Lakers off the line out to the east, but haven't seen any chrome yet and I'm getting twitchy. Wondering if it's worth burning gas to the Bonnet.

Just lakers here so far as well. Not to say that's a bad thing. They're a lot of fun to catch while waiting for the salmon to move in to the area.
I saw a few boats way out, but would think it's still a week or two away until they start to be here in good numbers. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong and say they are here now.

Finally hit on them yesterday. Couple cohos, steelhead and the first king of the season. Had to move out to 120-140FOW to find them. Not marking a lot out there yet but still managed to go 5 for 8.

Still a pile of lakers out there though. I've caught some hogs this year.

Adventure... that is a nice laker. How deep are they set up out at scotch bonnet? I don't have down riggers but I assuming I would need them. Have a good day

Awesome work guys.
Looked a little windy for me.
Thanks for the report.

Terry, 45-60 fow but they will be going deeper real soon. Dipseys take just as many if you don't have riggers. Leadcore works too but the fight is better on dipseys with steel line. They're not salmon, but still a lot of fun to catch.
Good to hear the salmon are showing up.
