  1. I think there must be a hidden no wake speed sign that I must be missing that says 10+ mph when near small boats!. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  2. Must have been night fishing? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  3. Fished solo, 1 for 1, caught small king, on std bloody nose slider on DR ball depth 95 in 125fow at 7:40am. Threw it back in and decided to work the area from 120-136 fow and see if I could get something bigger. Lots of marks but no success. Also, when trolling south, I had a very strong west current, which surprised me by pushing my low diver across the stern of my boat. I had to do a double take, thinking a fish got it and the fight was on. But it wasn't. Then I thought, "Could the weight move by itself, or did I turn it in the wrong direction?" But I didn't. Very bizarre, only happened on a south troll. I also ran one cannon ball, so it just skimmed the bottom, but no luck.This warm water is really challenging to catch fish of any size. I may have to go back to night fishing. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

  5. That warm water brings out everyone with a sheepish grin. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  6. I like your process. But I do it a little differently. I attached fixed sliders 5 and 10 feet above the main lure if the fish are closer to the bottom or whatever depth I'm targeting. Most of the time, I will let them run free and keep an eye on the line bowing out to make sure they don't get loose and slide down top of the main lure. Still, the thought of losing a cannon ball and / or probe makes me a little $$$$ to replace them when striking the bottom. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  7. Don't you pickup alot of zebra mussels on your main lure that is on the bottom, or are you actually off the bottom several feet? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  8. What was your ball temp at the deepest it was down? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  9. All I got was a 18# sheephead today. Biggest one I ever caught. What a mess trying to get him out of the boat. I caught him on a 2C. Ran up north of Holland trying to recover. Marked alot fish in 120fow, but no takers. Went out to 150fow. The temp was 55-57 down at 145 fow. I think you would have to go 180-200 to get some colder water. I was surprised how warm the water was at the piers, especially compared to the bouy. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

  11. Looks like a great solo trip! And remember to bring the kitty litter next time. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  12. That sounds like some pretty tough fishing last night. The only thing that would have made it worse is to have a late night sailboat in the mix(that happened to me one time). Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

  14. I think what happened, the main lure wonderbread MS , took the fish, but the slider (rv std flounder pdr) went down the line, and he bit it again. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
