Wow, that is cool. Definitely a surface analysis like the temps, but useful info.

Great to hear the radio chatter. We need to all work together and the radio will always be :thumb:the best way.

You probably have to go to his facebook page. It is linking this site when he posts.

Excellent report!

What a great time that must of been, thanks for sharing.

Now that's cool:thumb:

Thanks for sharing, Looks like a great time to me:thumb:

WOW great run

Nice November Fish!

Welcome:thumb:

Thanks for the report

It definitely could have just been a wreck bouy. He said it was pretty rough and very hard to see.

Just talked to a buddy that fished out of Saugatuck this mourning that confirmed a net sighting.

I haven't heard of or seen any Nets South of Grand Haven. I believe all the net are just North of Muskegon.

Nice job on the 30#er. May be the first out of Port Sheldon that I know of.

Thank you very much for fixing the bouy. I use it constantly.

wow! now that's a fish report. First a 10 foot king and then 2 twenty footers:eek: They ARE running big this year:lol::lol::lol:

I'm just ribbing you, Thanks for the excellent report it is very appreciated going into the holiday weekend

I have been running 9 lb. green tru-tracs with a strip of halo prism tape on one side for the last 2 years and have had a consistent bite with them.

Fish-on or Gold coast are great local tackle shops that will have herring and rigs for sale if your headed out of port Sheldon. Plus some great advise on current productive waters to start out in.

I am sure almost everyone here would like to help you put fish in your boat.

We need a little info on what your setup has been. Just a few tips can go a long way. It can be very discouraging reading all the positive posts about great trips but keep in mind there are a lot of guys that out there having the same thing happen that are not posting. Once we know how you fish we will be able to give you some things to try.

Awesome fish Brian, I recently upgraded my fish scale to a 50lb. the fish out there this year are HUGE! Congrats.

Yep, very helpful post. Congratulations on some excellent fish:thumb:

Thanks for the info. Might hang up the Salmon rods and take the wife perch fishing tomorrow.

That's what I was thinking. They like a bait running 10 mph 15' - 20' down.

Here is a pic from my Phone. I think I got some better ones on the camera.

I realized that I am wearing the same shirt that I had on when I got the 22#er. a few weeks ago.

The funny thing is my wife told me to change my shirt so I didn't ruin a good one. I think I found my favorite fishing shirt:lol:

Another thing I was surprised with is the big king was a male. They are very healthy this year.

fished from @ 3:00pm - 8:00pm ended up 5/9. Worked between 120' - 150' with the most productive water being 130'-135'. 1 real nice steely on a rigger and all the rest on long lines. We had 4 fish peel line out and come unhooked as we brought the board in. Highlight of the entire day came while pulling lines. I pulled all the dead rods first and was down to a 300 cu and a 200 cu. I got the board off of the 200 cu and was @ half way in naturally cranking it pretty fast and A fish hammers it. What a cool feeling. It peels all the copper back out and plenty of backing until I could get it turned. It was quite nice to fight this monster with only 1 board out behind the boat. After a good 20 min. battle we were successful at landing my Biggest King ever. 24# giant. These fish are amazing to see in person and pictures really don't do them justice. Truly an awesome day to be out on Lake Michigan.

I will get some pics posted later today.

What worked:

200 cu. w/ SS Blue Dolphin mag. spoon 2/3 (small laker and 24# king)

300 cu. w/ SS Green Dolphin Mag. spoon 1/4 (5# king )
