Idea for “Great Lakes Trolling License Stamp”
jdh replied to fishoak's topic in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout
I would buy it. -
Regular power pro in 40 lb and green has worked for me. I run mostly wire now - that is wire deep and slide divers up high.
-
I've used herring oil during late July/August with some success. Haven't messed with scents though until July typically. Spring/early summer fish just seem to bite good enough.

Welcome back. There is activity in the spring/summer. Dies down during the winter.

Shimano Cardiff 301A Left Hand Retrieve Casting Reel. $60. Text 616-706-4061 if interested. Purchased this new in May for a trip to Canada for jigging, but its suited better for casting bigger lures than what I use. The was this reel was designed is that the levelwind only works on the retrieve so it can be difficult to cast smaller lures or let jigs drop. Currently spooled up with 50 lb power pro. Comes with original box, instruction guide, reel schematic, and packet with brake parts.

There should be a few salmon around by now. Grand River coho should be in the area too. Wish I would have done some other things the last couple weekends because I'm not interested in catching more trout. -
100 yds isn't much, especially considering you can let out 25 to 50 yards of backing out to get the board away from the boat on some days. I would recommend getting at least 200 yards of backing on the reel somehow.

Fished from 7:30 am to noon. 1-1 laker. Worked 90-150 fow.
