Thanks for the report. What depth of water did you work? Sent from my LG-Q710AL using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App -
I've been working on a home addition and not fishing. If you want to want to help me finish it up I would be happy to provide more frequent posts! [emoji16] For me, over the last 3 years, king fishing has been slow once you get past mid-august. Maybe it is just me. In 12 trips mid-to late August I didn't catch a king.

Got a report there were kings off the dunes so I thought we would set up there instead of making the long run south of the point to colder water. Should have made the run. Finished 3 for 3. 21# king. 117 fow. W troll. 2.5 @ ball 300 Cu blue/white spin doctor and blueish fly 11# laker. Same setup. Same speed. 116 fow. N troll. Throwback Coho. 200 Cu. Moonshine Brookie spoon. Towed him around for a while. No idea when he hit. Worked water 65' to 170'. Not many marks on the sonar at all. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Wow. That must have been crazy reeling that thing in and trying to figure out what it was when you first saw it. I wonder how many man hours are put in on this lake fishing for someone to finally catch a sturgeon. Reminds me of a time I was bowhunting with my son who was about 10 at the time. He was hunting, I was teaching. A chickadee was flying around. He says, "It would be cool if that chickadee lands on my arrow." Being a more experienced hunter, I said, "You've got to hunt for a really long time before a bird will land on your arrow." "How long?" he asks. "Years" I say. Sixty seconds later that chickadee landed on his arrow. Congrats on the catch. I've never even heard of that happening before.

Took the kids out today. Started in 170 and trolled west looking for cooler water. Got a throwback king on a 100 Cu double orange crush as we were setting our 4th line. Marked some fish around 180 fow. Surface temp dropped to 59 degrees in 200 fow, but no marks. Went out to 205 but the sonar was empty. Turned east. Got hits between 170 and 150 fow. South troll in that range was beat with a double on inn157 fow. Finished 4 for 6. 100 Cu double orange crush went twice, NBK on a SWR down 40 went 3 times. A big white paddle and a blueish fly took a nice king down 80 on a rigger. 46 degrees down there. 65 degrees on top in that 150 to 170 range. No meat bites. 200, 250, 300 Cu weren't hit. High and low divers never took a bite. Pulled a log out to save everyone's props from hitting it after dark. Also caught a balloon. Started setting lines around 1:00 and pulling them around 5:00. Fished straight west and a bit north of the pier. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Are any of you guys adding a scent attractor to your baits? (Not talking about herring, but rather an oil, gel or paste scent attractor.) Or religiously cleaning them to remove unnatural scents? Just wonder if people are doing this and noticing a difference.

Love those tattle flags for the walleyes. Mine are rigged to raise the flag when there is a strike. I use Tx-22s for walleye fishing and for towing my 100 coppers. For the bigger coppers I use the TX-44s and I haven't had an issue with them.

Lots of bait in the channel on our way out. We worked 45 to 150 fow. Best water was 90 to 110. 1 coho, 1 small laker, 3 kings. Biggest was 12 pounds. 100 Cu took 4 hits(moonshine RB dancying anchovy and an orange RV spoon), rigger took 1 hit down 60 on a white paddle amd blueish fly, 250 Cu NBK spoon took 2 hits. Wire diver out 106 down 60 took 1 NBK spoon. Didn't have any meat abord to run. It was surprisingly cold out there with the wind hitting us. Water was in the process of flipping while we were out there. Surface temps started around 52 and ended in the 50s for the same water later in the AM.

I received an email back. Just wanted to provide an update: Thanks for the email Jason, I’ve forwarded it to our Great Lakes biologists. Since I don’t usually have the particulars myself. -Frank- W.
