Thanks for the report. Might try to get out tomorrow am. Having a depth to start at is very helpful.

Great work! Beautiful brown. Your efforts to fight the NW winds paid off. Congratulations. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Fished 6:30 -9:00 am mostly to get boat straightened around and ready for the season. Most boats were out past 100 FOW. Didn’t hear any reports this morning but did hear earlier in the week that some boats were successful in 140-170 FOW. I fished inside mostly 45-75 FOW. Marked a ton of fish at all areas of the water column so I stayed inside the others. Perhaps not a great plan. Went 1-1, 8:45 am , 11 lb King, rigger down 40 ft in 66 FOW, orange mag ms spoon. No hits on 3,5,7 color leadcore with various orange, green spoons mostly standard sizes with small red and orange SD and dodgers. Either didn’t have on board or couldn’t find my thin fins.

Good work guys! Nice catches! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Nice work and a good dinner! I was out solo this morning too. Didn’t exactly light it up. Nothing all morning until 10:30 am. Trolled 85 FOW out to 160 FOW back in to 66 FOW before I got a hit. Threw meat rigs, glow spoons, FF, and plugs at them. Had several looks and no biting as you did littleboat. Kept switching up the presentations but didn’t trigger bites. Finally at 10:20 I went up in the water column with a 7 color to see what the high marks were out of temperature. 1. 10:30 am: Small Lake Trout, 66 FOW, released, 7 color, mixed veggies spoon. 2. 11:00 am: same 7 color and spoon, small sheepshead. 63 FOW. 3. 11:30 am: same 7 color and spoon, 60 FOW, big sheepshead, fought for a bit , then like dragging in a log. At that point I figured out the high marks were not worth pursuing and I called it a day. Gorgeous day but a bit hot. Probably my last trip this year due to other plans. It was a great year of fishing thanks to the insights and intel this group gave me all year. Many thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

That is some awesome new equipment. The good news is that I now have an excuse when you smoke my catches! Seriously though sounds like something fun that will put more fish in the boat. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

That’s a beautiful cooler of fish, Reel y! Well done.

Nice work, Ed. I got one early, then missed a second when I was changing lures on a board. Then it shutdown for me. Oh well. Freezer is in good shape. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Slow bite this morning but a beautiful day on the water. One king at 7 am, then three hours of trolling until 10 when I went to pull lines. As I picked up the 10 color pole a coho hit it. Called it a day then as I busted off the hook removing it. 1. 7:00 am, 6 lb king, 127 FOW, 10 color, bloody nose spoon 2. 10:00 am, 6 lb coho(dinner), 10 color, chrome two faced SD with green fly, 139 fow (no bites on Rasta goose, ,ms mag green jeans, plugs, dancing anchovy, flounder pounder, 300 WS, 225 WS, riggers from 40 to 100 ft down with sliders) Fished 90 fow out to 140 fow, back in to 80 fow, and back out to 150. Marked the most fish 125-140.

60 ft back of ball is longer than I usually run. Note to self: try it! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Nice catch! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Yes 2MD. That was me. I figured I would be on the fish when I saw that beautiful Parker, and knew Pug would deliver. I was clearing a mess in my net and I looked up and saw you. Was quite fun. I tipped over a foam piece with about 15 spoons I had set out for the morning. Landed in the net. What a mess. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
