Moby Dick

How far do you fisherman have to go to reach 200 feet of water? At St. Joe it is about 11 miles. Went 1 mile off Charlevoix and it was 319 feet deep.

I would guess about 8 miles. 200 FOW is about 11 miles. Go out 300 degrees to get deep quickest.

We caught 4 fish. 2 Lake Trout, 1 little King and 1 little Steelhead. Had all of our action between 75 and 82 FOW. All fish were caught on downriggers and > 40 feet down. No 2 fish on same lure. Caught 2 on different color Pro Kings. Great day to be on the lake.

I'm going out of New Buffalo today. Think we will start in about 60 fow.

What is a slide diver?

Don't you lose some cannonballs dragging them on the bottom? I've always be scared to do this.

Enjoyed the video. They were fishing just North of Cook Nuclear Plant. Thanks!

I've read of much success of guys fishing in 16 FOW and less. What type of setups do you guys use? My problem has been getting 6 lines out. Can only use 2 of my 4 downriggers. 2 flat lines can be a disaster for tangle ups so I usually run only 1. I also can run 2 walleye boards so I'm at 5. Dipsy Divers would be close to boat I think. Any suggestions?

I've caught 18 fish this year and half have been Lakers. Used to be about 4-5 salmon per Laker.

I too am looking for walker parts. Mine are like 1979 and am in need a new pulley and the bolt/nut attaching it.

Anyone caught a big king yet? I've nothing bigger then about 6 lbs. Of my 18 fish this year, only 4 kings and all little. Used to love them 17# line burning spring Kings.

Wish I could remember what I had for breakfast yet alone what lure I caught what. Really appreciate the info on depth, colors, lures and speed. Need to do a better job on documenting what I catch.

Caught 4 Lake Trout in 40 FOW about 5 miles north of New Buffalo. Biggest one was about 7 lbs. Missed 2 of which 1 was pretty big.
