We did a late trip Wednesday night. We left the dock at 7 and had lines set by 8. We fished water 118 to 90 FOW on a NE troll. We finished with 2 young kings, a nice coho, and a 25# king. My daughter thought it would be fun to pose with the fish over her head tonight. [emoji1] The 250 Cu with a Mag Yeck Wartfrog fired at 8:20. We boated a nice Coho. At 8:38 the heavy wire slide diver out 120 with a green knight spoon took young king. We reset it, but this time only out 100 feet and 17 minutes later it fired again with another young king. Another 15 minutes went by (so around 9:15) and a 200 Cu with a glow Submarine spoon took our last fish of the night. It was a 25# king. This one she couldn't lift over her head. [emoji38] Then we pulled lines. Sent from my SM-G991U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I had that happen to my lower unit in 2015. It sounded like someone dropped a screwdriver in a blender. Glad you made it in ok. Sent from my SM-G991U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Nice solo net job. I have found extending my net handle is really helpful when netting by myself. Sent from my SM-G991U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I took the morning off work and took my girls out for a trip. One stayed in the cuddy cabin sleeping most of the time though! She's not much of an early bird. We decided to try some deeper water to see what we could find. We left port and headed west. I started setting lines in 160 FOW and we worked west. Everything fired today except a 100 Cu Craigs Flounder which I took off after a couple of hours and a 300 Cu with a Magnum Green Knight.

Great solo trip! They are often hard to find and dial in with a three rod spread.

I have people I only invite to fish on evening trips, because when I invite them in the morning they want to leave the dock at 7:30. Great job getting on them early. Sent from my SM-G991U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

What a fun morning! Sent from my SM-G991U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

That big king buried the board and had a huge initial run. It somehow managed to take the whole setup waaaay beyond and outside the 250 Cu that was outside of it, but nothing tangled. Here she is showing me how red her hands are from reeling. [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G991U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Fishing was slow for all boats I talked to out of Pentwater on Saturday morning. We talked to 3 charter captains and they got 8 fish between the three of them with nothing over 10 pounds. We got a 21 # king, a decent laker and a small, throwback king. Started in 130 and worked out to 190. Had decent marks between 160 and 175. Both kings came on a 300 Cu with 2 colors of Pb added and a magnum green knight spoon in 161 and 170 fow. The laker hit on a 250 Cu with a Bad Toad RV spoon. We fished water between 120 feet down and 50 feet down. Temps were in the mid 40s 100 feet down. I'm hoping it picks up soon. There are big fish around, but they seem to be really scattered.
