    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

    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

    Great recovery and catch! They were there, just not ready to pop, but you waited them out. Maybe the beginning of the run has started? I could see them on the bottom in the AM, but I couldn't get them to budge, only coming up with zebra muscles on my lures in the attempt .

    The big dogs weren't there this am. I was hoping to pin one. I got alot of big marks in 60fow by the point, but I couldn't get a big bite, just throw backs. I think it could happen any day, earlier than later. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Your description is exactly what happened. It actually jumped out of the water twice at quite a distance away. Then there was a lull as I brought it closer to the boat, then mayhem. I had sharpened my hooks, especially for today. They were buried deep on each king's jaw. I didn't want any missed opportunity to catch a big king. The 23lbr was a male. The real fighter 21lbr was the female. The 9 lb king was a female also. The old adage ( Don't mess with Mrs Murphy) might apply here. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Fish solo 4 for 8, 23lb king, 21lb king, 9lb king and throw back steelhead. I wasn't able to get the fifth one after 2 hrs of trying. I had a really spider web on the second king. She wrapped herself around the the opposite rigger, went under the boat, came back up jump between the tie rod that connects the two motors for steering. I thought I would lose her for sure. I either cut the line or do something else even more crazy. Letting out more slack only made it worst. To undo the mess, I had to take my rigger rod (7') and pass it underneath underwater between the engines and around them. I thought for sure she would find enough slack to loosen the hook, but she didn't, because I felt her tugging still. I managed to get her in as my net head screw came loose pulling the net head out of the holder. You can't make this stuff up! Crazy fun! I lost about 20 minutes. Also meant Jollytime at the cleaning station. All bites were on spoons. No hits on plugs or flasher flies Details: 1- king, 23lbs, 39" lg, 6:23am, happee meal mag, 2.2 sog, S trl , ball temp 48.1, ball depth 70, 102fow. 2-king, 9lbs, 7:08am, blue jeans mag, 300 cu, N trl, 95fow. 3-king, 21lbs, 37" lg, 7:58a, doubletrouble mag, 2.6sog, N trl, ball temp 50.5, ball depth 59, 104 fow.
