Janet was on board for her first fishing trip of the season and was rewarded with a boat load of flies. Dropped lines just before 6:00pm, fishing closer to Port Sheldon covering 145 to 105 FOW running 4 dipseys and two down riggers, no long lines. The few times I have been out, most of the action has been on dipseys so I went that route plus it would be easier for Janet to handle versus 300 Cu. All our action came on northerly trolls where the boat speed was slower. Boated and kept 2 nice size coho in the 8lb range. First one came on an inside dipsey with a DW UV Green Dolphin down 54'. After a two hour wait, the second came on an outside dipsey with a DW UV Mixed Veggie down 33'. Switched over to darker lures for the night bite. Stinger Kevorkian on a high diver got three hits: Once nice king that flipped out of the water, bent the hook and got off, one drive by and the last rod in the water as I picked it up - a small 4lb king that was released. Netted and released an additional small king in the dusk bite. Downriggers down ranging 66-85' of cable out with spoons and flies did not see any action. Overall, 4 for 6 with coho for dinner tonight and a boat to clean this afternoon.

Was asking $41,500 at the start on Boat Trader. Since then, due to health, dropped to $35,000 Also now on Craigslist for that amount! Who knows, All Reasonable Offers accepted! May be yours!

Local marinas should be able to let you rent a transient slip for a day especially during a weekday???

Coho size this early is impressive

It's a venture trailer. No one seems to have the bunks not even the mfg can tell me when they will make them. Can't seem to get a straight answer.Not a good sign. Eastermarine (Delaware) has had them on order for more then a month from Venture trailers. They are a unique bunk with a 6 degree angle cut at the top to match most hulls. I'm working with a company to make my replacements, I will see how that goes.These I will make out of oak, not pressure treated pine as were on the trailer. Not cheap! Boat with not be able launch probably for a month or more while waiting trailer bunks. My back up plan should that fail will be made of the same pressure treated pine I can get at Lowes (4) 10'x8"x3" boards,liquid nails and stainless steel screws or deck screws put them together, cut the angle with my table saw and carpet them, mount them on the trailer while my boats sits at a launch ramp somewhere. Still looking for a spot. To keep it for a few hours so the trailer can be worked on. This is the cheapest by far and quickest, but It will not last the longest. The trailer was built in 2011 so the bunk that failed had a great run. I just waiting to see what works out with the more expensive plan. But, remember I have two boats so my 16-1/2' will still take me fishing, through I will have to watch the weather closer. Sent from my Z5156CC using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Very nice steelhead caught on the deep rigger. Hope you can figure out an easy means to store the boat while you repair the bunk board on your trailer. Are you thinking of fixing it yourself or taking it over to someone who can work on it?

Sold sorry.

Thanks for reporting. Still sounding pretty slow out there. I did see one decent report out of Port Sheldon on FB from last night.

I am interested in the sport pilot........do you have any photos?
