    Always keep “emergency fish” in the freezer to send home with your crew after you mess up…

    I’d love another flip. Steel on the beach until dark then walleye at the piers.

    Looks like one on EBay

    Last time it was like this the pm bite was like 8-9 pm and not when the sun set and after as usual.

    Sweet report, thanks for taking us along…

    Coho are bulking up fast.

    Currents should be opposite surface wind. Wind pushes surface water one way, deeper water has to move the opposite way to balance things out. Usually. Also it takes a while to get them started and then a while to get them stopped so it may be dead calm and you’ll have a current yet from two days ago. Or you get another big wind and an old current and you can get a mess. Having to troll head long into 4’ waves at 4mph with a huge trailing current in a tournament once was not fun, but the opposite troll would have been trying to go essentially zero mph while getting pushed by 4’ waves…

    About time it broke open. Figured you’d be the one to do it…

    It’s June. A few weeks of suck until things set up for the summer. If you’re bored we had an absolute riot working the piers for sheep between the salmon boats, few that there were, heading out and the hangover crowd showing up. Could only run four lines don’t think we went ten minutes without a fish and a couple times had no lines in the water…

    Gotta appreciate a fish that has dinner then decided it needs more. That’s crazy…

    Marked bait, and hooks on the bottom in 70-50 as it got dark last night, but no more action for us.

    Nicer coho slide diver bloody nose moonshine 140’ out in 80’
  13. FBD
    Out now, two coho, zero pattern. 50-140 and back in fish in 75 on a three color fish in 110 50 down…

    Did two laps in close last night never marked a fish or anything else when we worked from the dune climb back to the piers in 10-20’

    Could still see the planer boards so it wasn’t so bad, but not having waves or wind made holding a troll a bit of a trick.

    Gonna have to show my ignorance and ask where that is…

    I prefer a stiff wind in my 14’. Trolling with the wind is the poor man’s autopilot. I run all my rods on one side of the boat if possible - port as that’s the side I’m facing - to make them easier to watch and to leave the other side open to play/land fish, if they play nice however larger kings and steel sometimes disregard my best inputs to convince them where they should go.

    Streams are blown out around me in Holland. Lake Mac is chocolate milk. Had lunch, at the launch I usually use, on Monday and the water was up 6” from two weeks ago but still a foot plus down from last fall. Like dry ground where the boat is usually floating off the trailer.

    Last November channel in PS was ok (granted that could change) but I cut a bit too far north and found the bottom in Pigeon Lake proper. Made sure to hug the island to the south when we came back in.

    I know deep diving stick baits can overpower small divers. I would think the ring can only help…
  21. FBD
    Or your crew doesn’t put the line behind the pin. Or the split ring the release is on opens up. Or the screw eyes works out of the board…

    I’ve been having problems with picking up green slime while trolling near the bottom or in shallow. That can bugger up the best of swivels.

    Here’s what the pump couldn’t clear out. I think we had four waves in a row wash the bow lights.

    Got out late, launched as JDH came in and got the crap kicked out of us. Before we tucked tail and limped back into port we were 3/4 with two steel and a laker and lost another steel.

    I ran ten rods out of a 14’ with an eight and seven year old in the crew. Second fish was a 8# brown. That got interesting but the youngest crew landed it.
