Our labor day vacation at Suncadia got cut short due to the forest fires so I had a chance to fish this morning. I hit the water in my kayak at 7 and had my first cutt on by 7:05. It was nonstop action until about 9:30. I ended up landing 10 cutts and 1 small king. I took 5 of the cutts that were bleeding home and let the rest go. With the recent reports I was expecting more action from the sockeye/kings but the cutthroat were absolutely on fire. I was actually geting frustrated that I didn't have enough time to drink my coffee because as soon as I put the downriger down I was getting another bite. This morning was perfect conditions: calm water, only a boat or two out surfing, and not too hot until the sun got up higher. It was by far the best day I have had fishing for cutts on lake Washington.

I fished a wiggle hoochie the entire time - no reason to change baits when they are biting like that. I stayed in ~50 feet of water the whole time with my downrigger on the bottom.
