on sat we headed out in 3 to 5s so we were at the mercey of the waves as far as location.we set up in 300 fow and road the waves into abot 130 before pulling lines.we ended up with 7 kings and a lacker.we slept in a little on sun and hit the water a little after noon. we set up in 150 fow south of port.we found 6 kings fairly quick and the bite died off.worked that area for a while with no more action so we switched to a east west troll out in 200 fow .doubles and a couple triples for the rest of the day.we were trolling a big oval pattern and every time we hit the 200 fow mark it was on.we ended up 17 for 26 or so with 15 kings and 2 steelies.all fish were released to be caught again.on mon mornig we took a short 1 1/2 hr trip and ended up 5 for 6.meat was the stadout again this week,taking a majority of the fish.wire divers 250 to 350 bk and rigers at 60 to 150 dwn were hot,the boards did not do much with a 3 color,5 color and the 300 copper taking a few fish

Thanks!! They've been getting kings in the mid-teens in the Waukegan and Northpoint areas the past few weeks. Couple weeks ago, consistent around 65'-90'' water; now they've moved around.
