Fished from 7:30am-11:00, 9-14. Shot out to 260 today. Found a pod of fish, but only got one rip on a meat rig. Fish were 55-80 down. I only had a three rod spread. Made several patterned passes, but I couldn't get any hookups. Went thru a slew of baits. Slowed trolled back to 185 fow the last hour, with very few Marks. Picked up and came in. Good luck maybe the bigger bunch was farther out. Lake was like glass. Surface temp was 69. Sent from my SM-J737A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

No flouro at all? Doesn't seem to change the bite percentage?

Do you use the tubing for the braid?

What size and kind of wire are you using on the slide diver?

How are the weeds etc, when you pull your trailer out? I hate cleaning all that off out of Port Sheldon.

Any swr on that rigger?

Nice catch. Very rewarding after a long day. Great determination!

Fished 7:15am-12, 3/5 all small laketrout, 20-30 fow north of harbor, North troll, 2.5sog, 4C and 5C with artic ice and glow lemonberry spoons. Went out to 50 fow and had one lost hookup and one hit that destroyed my home made green fly I call Irish Shadow. Nice day, 1 ft waves. Water was very cold in shallow.

Fished 3 rods, 7:30-12pm, 1 for 4, 210-250fow. First catch came at 8:03am, 8# steelhead on rigger 44 down and back 40, in 236fow, 2.4 sog, sw troll, ball temp 50.8 with a michigan stinger std UV Veggie. Next two rips came off Hawg Wild flasher and Catch-a-bunch fly with 7C. The final rip was on the UV veggie again. It was getting hot but few biting flies for a change. The lake was fairly flat with surface temp 72.4 The launch ramp was packed as well as the channel, but everyone seemed to have their senses about them for a change.

Fished 6-9pm, 1 for 1, 12# king in 115 fow at 8:12pm, north troll sog 2.5, on 210 copper with a mix veggie flasher and blue meat rig, a little southwest of the harbor. No other rips. Tough on 3 rods. But it was a lot cooler fishing this evening. Launch was a green mess. Also, leaned up against one of my poles and put a treble hook in my arm. I had to pull it through and cut it off, before I could bring in my rods. A nice night otherwise.
