    Ed, hope the meds get you back on the water soon. I also checked my Log and I have not been out since 6/7 for the most part due to the high seas.

    I hadn't been out for awhile because of the weather that we had also. So, to entertain myself I started clearing some bushes and miscellaneous weeds to get something done during this terrible weather cycle. I woke up the next morning with my right wrist swollen up 4 sizes and tremendous pain. Evidently, something punctured my glove and it wasn't a FISH HOOK! I couldn't even move my wrist, so off to the doctor I went. I've been out of commission for over a week. I feel like a one arm bandit. It will be at least another week before I can probably launch my boat by myself. The antibiotics are finally start to improve my situation, now if the fish would do the same thing. No good deed goes unpunished.

    Yeah. Seems like I haven’t been out in forever. I was running old school this morning just using the buoy for water depth temperature. My first mate (me) forgot to charge my probe.

    Always nice to get a Father's day fish! This crazy weather really pushed the thermocline down. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    Lake was flat and temperature pleasant. Lines in a little after daybreak. 6:45 am: 5 lb king, rigger down 100 ft, 130 fow, meat rig. 8:15 am: small lake trout(released), same rigger down 105 ft, meat rig, 131 fow. Fished 120-150 fow. Marked the most fish, by far in 130 fow. Pulled lines early at 9 am due to Father’s Day plans. What didn’t work: 300 copper with various size and color spoons. No hits on flasher flys.

    Good Morning ! Do you still have your slickcraft for sale? I am asking because it is hard to find an actual recent ad for these. I had a ss235 in the past, and yours looks like it is pretty decent shape, and I am interested. Have a great day. Jim

    The Coho pattern from the IL state line to Racine has been exactly the same for the past 3 weeks. 40 - 55 fow, 15-25 down, 2.3 - 2.6 gps sog and your favorite Dodgers and green flies. This yr the Coho are about as easy to catch as I've seen in the past 32 years. Monday we had our 2 man limit in 2 hrs.

    I just don't do it. I wrap the leader around the diver and store them each in a velcro lure cover. Clipping on 1 snap swivel when I get to my depth, isn't a big deal.

    That's a great story. I've never heard of that happening before with Salmon. I saw a video where a guy hooked a walleye and was pulling it in and it got slammed by a pike. The pike wouldn't let go and he was able to net both fish. Crazy. If there are a lot of small kings and cohos around, I'll sometimes put more mag spoons out, thinking the larger hooks make it harder for those small fish to bite. Some still do though.

    Okay thank you

    Looks like water separator for air line, usually has some type of filter in the center.

    Way to find the fish! Nice box.

    4 for 4 tonight. 3 kings and one laker. Flies were crazy bad. It was calm and hazy earlier and then the fog came in big time at last light. All fish came late in the evening. We started in 140fow and didn't mark much. Pushed out to 160 and still not much. Angle in towards shore on a north northeast troll. Then turned and went south to end the evening. Finally found fish and bait inside 100fow. High dipsey out 210 and 260 on setting 3 took to small kings. Alien breath mag and parrot something green and blue. Laker rig bouncing the bottom took the laker. An earlier bite on a 5 color with fireball with dingles started our evening's catch. 2.7-3.0 at the ball was what worked for us.

    Good coho fishing in St Joe. Hoping the coho migrate up the lake in the near future. Would enjoy adding a few to my dinner table!

    It’s June. A few weeks of suck until things set up for the summer. If you’re bored we had an absolute riot working the piers for sheep between the salmon boats, few that there were, heading out and the hangover crowd showing up. Could only run four lines don’t think we went ten minutes without a fish and a couple times had no lines in the water…

    Gotta appreciate a fish that has dinner then decided it needs more. That’s crazy…

    It’s been tough so far. The hook ups seemed to be light when they come too. I don’t remember June being stellar last year either. Let’s hope July is better! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

    Fished St. Joe 6/7. Wound up 7-8. Kept 6, one little shaker went back. The lake trout is to be smoked for our Canadian fishing trip in August. Also nice steelhead and 4 nice coho. 55’-75’ of water, 58’-64’ was best. Ran small orange colored spoons (some with gold backs) and orange coho dodger/peanut fly combos on a 9 rod set of Downriggers down 40’ and 50’, 3 and 4 colors leadcore, 100’, 150’ and 200’ of copper. Went south out of the pierhead all the way down to Cook. Water temp was 62 at the surface and 58 at the ball. Had something weird that’s never happened before. The one we lost came unbuckled just as we went to net it. It appeared to not be hooked. Fought it all the way in and all we had to show for our efforts was a cross hooked, mangled bait fish ripped out of the fishes mouth. That fish was hanging on for dear life to his dinner then said the hell with this nonsense when he saw the net. Lots of bait balls in the water including this little guy. Not sure what he was thinking. He was legitimately hooked in the mouth so we went 8-9 if you count this one too [emoji1] Cleaned fish were full of bait fish.

    I'm surprised the night bite didn't produce better. It looks like a long fishing season until something changes. Good luck to all of us, we'll need it. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app
