The warmer temps will be very welcomed. Getter wet! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

That looks like what I was catching before I put my boat away last year. I'm hoping they are part of alot of growing fish for this year. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Fished 10am-12, Shakedown run for the Littleboat today. Picked up a 5-6# king off the bubbler. It was cold out there. A last minute decision to even go. Glad I did. Littleboat, 16-1/2 footer ran well. Waves were 0-1, 1-2 & 2-3'. (1/1) 10:34am, king, 5-6#, rigger down 25, bk 55, double trouble mag, 2.3sog, N, 36.6 fow, ball down 25, 42.5 ball temp, No hits on boards Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Great catch under unpleasant conditions. Hopefully, it will start to warm quicker, and the wind will settle out sooner Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Good report. Nice catch, keep it up. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Nice 1st fish. It's hard to remember everything on that 1st trip. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Good shake down cruise. I'm with you. I hate to fish in a snowmobile suit. I enjoy fishing. But I don't want to go on a crusade. Nice catch. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Thank you for the information. Not being familiar with the area, it helped alot Check your pm. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I've never launched out of bolles or sterling st pk, mostly just jig the river. Did you go out of bolles because of the size of you boat, marina availability or better bite potential than sterling? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Great bite, Ed. I was hoping to get over to Detroit this spring, but the schedule didn't work out. How was the visibility? What was the depth? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Nice kings. What did they weigh? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Great catch and pictures !!!! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

The lake is 1-1.5 ft below last years level right now. Becareful you don't back your trailer wheels off the last slab trying to get launched. Wherever you launch. It is not so much of a problem at PS. It will be a little tough getting the boats on/off the trailers while launching/retrieving this season. I'm hoping that we don't have so many windy days this year. Keep your bow strap on as long as possible on the PS launch. It's very steep. If you're not careful, your boat might launch itself before it gets to the ramp. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

One ramp in, very steep launch angle. Ice floating in front of the channel. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I'm hoping for another one. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Fished solo, 3hrs, went 4 for 6, all small kings, released them to grow for next season. Worked water 50-60ft off harbor north, west and south. Had to check the lines alot because of the small jacks. Waves were building the farther I went out. I caught them on std yeck crazy sweet corn and MS bloody nose std. On north and south trolls. Surface temp was 53.7. Bottom temp was 44-45. Ran the ball about 5 feet off the bottom (50-53°). Used a 6C and 8C to the sides. Ran spoons and a wonderbread jplug. Bait was around but only in a few spots. Installed a couple of electric DRs, so I just had to try them out. I didn't see any other boats out. It's been over a month since I have been out.

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

Must have been night fishing? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

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

That will make a nice dinner entree! Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

That warm water brings out everyone with a sheepish grin. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
