    I never think to use black spoons very much. I'll have to throw a few on during cloudy day conditions. Thanks for the report!

    Report from yesterday morning. Fished the same water I fished Wednesday night - about 2-5 miles south and in 110 fow. We had a great day and we ended up 11 for 17? overall and released a small king and a small lake trout. Couldn't get our 10th fish for the box and with the waves building we went in around 1 pm. Went in with 6 kings, 2 coho, and a nice lake trout. Southerly troll was best, and 3.0 mph at the ball was best. Had a couple doubles going a few times. Also had a triple around 11 am and got all three to the net. The biggest fish of the day got away after catching on a planer board and destroying the swivel. So if someone gets a big fish with a flounder pounder RV in its mouth... What worked: 2-4 Rigger down 43-47 ft - Regular size moonshine Flounder Pounder RV 1-3 Rigger down 53-59 ft - Double sized mag glow spoon with a ladder back 3-4 Fixed Slider 45-55 ft - Raspberry Dolphin Superslim 1-1 Mag Diver back 120 - Pro King Mt Dew 8" Paddle with Mirage Fly 1-2 Mag Diver back 150 - Netminder UV Showtime Spindoctor and Meat Rig 1-1 200 Copper - Silver Streak Mag Blue Dolphin Glow back 1-1 300 Copper - Silver Streak Mag Blue Dolphin 1-1 400 Copper - Pro King Mt Dew 8" Paddle with Mirage Fly

    Nice job. The fish tore us up this morning. Lost too many. But we still got 11. Release a small laker and small king. I stopped by Lakeshore tackle to replace several damaged spoons. Pretty much stayed right in 110 fow.

    Nice job. Went out of South Haven for a few hours tonight, but couldn't find anything... except trout of course.

    Good job! Nice to hear some groups of kings are making it north.

    Nice job. The fish were still biting yesterday, and they were stuffed full of alewives.

    Definitely one of my better days on the water!

    Good day aboard the King Possible today. Final tally 20 for 22. Ended up with 9 lake trout and 6 coho in the cooler. Fished the morning from 7 am until 12 pm in 70 fow catching 9 lake trout and 1 coho. Divers occasionally touching bottom with spin doctors and flies (whites,yellows, greens) was the ticket. Had 3 lines in for lake trout and 6 rods for kings, but the kings weren't around or weren't interested. After bagging our laker limit, we ran to 150 and pointed the boat on a NW. Hit 175 and started getting fish. Got several more lakers and also quickly hit our 3 man limit by adding 5 coho. Chrome uv paddles with mirage flies on the wire divers back 200-250 were hottest, but 100,150,200 copper also took fish. Best fish was an 8 lb coho. Thought it was a king at first. Best speed all day was 2.7-3.2 mph. Speed changes triggered many strikes.

    Fished again this morning, but the fish appear to have moved out. Got 4 coho and only 4 bites.

    We didn't know we were dragging them along, but they weren't hooked bad and seemed lively, so we sent them swimming. They took off pretty fast.

Mono planer board back 85-105, floating Smithwick rogue blue /chrome/orange: 3-4, coho, coho, king, missed 5-8 lb Brown at the boat. Slide Diver back 15 ft, mini streak copper spoon: 1-1 king.

    Sounds like a fun day on the pier. I remember when it was much more consistent fishing several years ago. I had a couple seasons where I got sick of catching 1 fish every 5 trips or so and pretty much hung up the pier rods.

    Whitefish do not count towards the salmon limit. You can keep 12 of them!

    Gotcha. I replaced the handle/lever this year on mine because the trim/tilt switch had shorted out. Cost about $80. If there's other issues it can get pricey quick!

    I did some quick searching and found the following setup for trolling inland trout or sockeye salmon: https://gonefishingnw.com/making-a-custom-wedding-ring-lure Probably not what you're looking for though.

    I don't have an answer about a replacement, but what's the issue with the existing controls?
  23. jdh
    Update. I found a magnum version. Still don't know the name.

    I've used this mini streak to great success until the orange strip of paint wore off. Now it just sort of works. I want another one though, but I cannot find it anywhere. Any help? It had an orange strip with pink/white/yellow dots.

    Thanks. Looks like I'm busy tomorrow. Maybe Sunday.
