Today was my first time downrigging.We launched boat around 8:45am from Bluffers park.We went straight to Blue Zone.Within hour we hooked 1 good size salmon.It was nice and silver.It was caught on orange spoon.It was caught from 295FOW and 50ft on downrigger.There was some fish marking but all scattred.We were there till 1:15pm.We tried upto 350FOW but no luck.Near to shore around 10ft deep there were lots of fish marking.But didn't try much there as it was very close to rocks.

Nice report idesign, looks like you had a lot of fun out there, that area is a goldmine ! 
I went out about month ago (to the same area) with a old fishing buddy on a rainy day, caught a couple fish, 2 salmon, we were marking fish everywhere, especially close to shore by the rocks, probably some smallmouth & salmon. So I started shore fishing for the salmon a few weeks later, wow what a difference, couldn't even get a few solid hits. I gotta troll more
