  1. What a rough fishing experience today, a forecast that called for light winds and 1ft waves. It turned out to be 3-5ft waves that continued with no break. I had to call it at 7:30am because it got to dangerous for solo fishing for me. But I was determined to get something and I went 1 for 3 with a 12#-6oz king on a RV GLK Dolphin spoon I just bought yesterday. I only could put 2 riggers in water because of the conditions. Anyway got him on a N trl @2.6sog, ball temp 57.1°, dwn 57.5ft in 79.4fow at 6:42am. I crawled back to harbor still catching spray every other wave. Nice to be out again... I think?
  2. Great king catch, what nice filets that one will bring! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app
  3. Thank you for your setup information. I shall make some modifications, comparisons and see what happens. I didn't get out this past week, because I got busy installing a radar system less signal cable (waiting a special order due to 5m length), then I got cellulits in my wrist again. I couldn't even pick up a net. But I'm on the mend(antibiotics).
  4. You are a brave captain to deal with that much traffic especially at the channel. I salute you. Another note, I have yet to get a hit on my ninja diver 124. Are your leader lengths really 40-50ft behind the ninja diver itself? Is that the only length you run behind your ninja diver? What is your troll speed using them? Are the leaders all braid as you talked about earlier in the season? Mine is the typical mfg setup and I vary the leader, but I'm ready to throw their leader setup out the window. I have varied my length but never over 25ft. I feel a change maybe coming. Am I fishing on the wrong lake?
  5. Nice box of fish. Looks like you had a good time fishing. Great spacing on catches!
  6. Great adventure for you nephew with more to come. Your a great teacher, may the force be with you. Also, great eaters!
