Washed lures at St Joe  yesterday. Setup sw in 65ft @ 4:00 pm. Trolled out to 110 and circled back after no action . Rigger down 35 popped off at 8pm with a 5 lb Coho. Nothing else until dark when braid dipsey out 90 got hammered. Big King - 15lb. Before I could get it in a rigger down 55ft got smoked. Double header alone in the dark with two big Kings. Somehow I managed to net both. Knees still shaking when the othe rigger popped. Another King on rigger down 40ft.
 Ended up 4/4 with Kings at 15 lb, 10 lb, and 7 lb with a Coho at 5 lb. All fish on an assortment of mag spoons.

Thanks for the report! It’s chaos when they all start hitting at the same time when you are solo. How deep were you when the action started? Fish hook fleas still bad?

Best depth was 70 - 85 ft. Not too many flies, and the fleas weren't as bad as last week. That being said they started dredging last nite and I kept getting grass and trash in my set. Had to check baits frequently. Only marked one bait ball whole time out..
