    One we got had a 6" brown in it too. Any one getting those 10-14" Brown's that should be next year's fish? I haven't heard of one and that doesn't bode well for year.next year

    No kidding, no shortage of boats in tight.

    We fished the plume, went 4/6 with a 16" coho, 20" brown, 27" laker, and a no kidding 7" steelhead. Missed two fish, one very large, on a gold black rapala f9 on a slide diver. Fish we caught were on flutter devles in silver back, silver blue on short cores.

    Fished 9:30 to noon in Port Sheldon. Hit 120-170. Caught a coho on an orange dodger peanut fly out 50 on a wire diver setting lines. Only hit. Thin fish, spoons, flasher flies from two color to 125' down and not another sniff.

    Where are you located?

    I think we're in the same area, let me know if you ever want to see one.

    Order direct from Eppinger, hammered silver Jr flutter devles. Then put a 1/8" stripe down the edge with black sharpie. This doesn't hold up well, so it will tell you if you're dragging bottom. Then bend them into a lazy s shape if not so applied at the company. I've had them come bent and come flat. I add a sticker eye to the front, my friend, the only other guy I know who runs them, switches out the hook for a small siwash. The mongoose, and sparkly blue tape versons from the factory have their days too.

    Back in black, edge hammered silver Met Syonker at his old stomping grounds before he moved inland, and gave it a try this morning. Plume was colder than the lake so that didn't work. Then we found a log or wreck that cost him all three spoons on his side. Then we missed the first hit. Finally cracked the nut, silver black edge flutterdevle on a one color out deeper where there was chop instead of in close. Those took seven hits, the same in mongoose took the first, shad raps took two, and a Jr streak in perch took a coho. Ended up with eight browns and a coho, of course the two browns we let go at the end were the biggest. How powerful was the flutterdevle today? I pulled one of my rods and put one out just messing around as we had a limit of browns hoping for something else, and mine got hit in five minutes. Great trip, great company, great snacks. That's why we do this.

    What's the brand on that monkey puke? That's a killer brown spoon but the Stingers only hold up for a couple fish before the paint is gone. Nice king.

    Went south for browns, too dirty. Went north, good looking water but full of junk with lures constantly fouled. Slid out to 40 and trolled back to the pier heads washing the bow lights every couple waves in the 14' and having to fire the pump more than once. Waves got to be 3' and that wasn't a big deal, then they settled down some but the wind bunched them up so tightly that we could not get the bow up in time. No hits. Guess it can only get beetter, sure am glad we didn't try to reach those coho.

    Frank's had them, and for stupid prices at the GR show, which helps you in 11 months but not so much now.

    Hmm, 4-1 am Fished 8:30 to noon, first in the dirty plume water, then 40-50' for Lakers, then in some clean water in the beach. Pulled one three pound brown out of the mud. Only hit. Think I peaked early this year.

    Give or take 40 miles. Don't like posting which port when fishing a defined area.

    Who's going to help me find things (talk fishing) at Menard's?

    Heck of a fish. I'd be careful posting about people fishing the harbor. There's room for one boat there, anything more and it becomes a mess. A couple springs ago we were quietly pulling fish out of there fishing spawn from kayaks, then someone caught a few in there trolling and bragged it all up and down the net. The next Saturday there were 11 boats all trying to run planer boards through the same 100 x 300 yard stretch, running over our lines (we were there before anybody) then running so close to me, when tucked up against the wall, that I could gave cracked them with my paddle. No one caught fish but a lot of tempers flared.

    Struggled 3-29 pm Decent conditions, clouds, some chop, a little stain in the water, 44 degrees. Trolled three miles without a bump. Let my nephew pick some lures out of his tray as mine were not doing it, and a well worn mini streak hooked up with a 15" coho. Trolled back to port and just about in the dark a board gets ripped. Huge brown, nope, little punk that got the second hook of a thunder stick stuck in his pectoral fin and came in sideways. Just beat the rain home.

    PSA from FBD Buddy was kind enough to point out our licenses expire on midnight on Friday. Fishing this weekend be sure to get a new one.

    Nephew got into them Saturday but had to slide out to 40' later in the day. Thanks for the details.

    From the pictures I'm not 100% sure myself. The poster is new to this and has caught very few browns, and struggled with fish ID in the past. Browns also come in lots of strains with different shapes and coloring, then throw in the river runners that color up as well. The little salmon I got Wednesday I'm not even sure it was a king or coho and really didn't even bother to try to figure out before throwing it back, trolling head long into chop that close to shore.

    Seen 200' out of Holland in mine. Trolled out from 60 hit 200' went yep, 200' and trolled back in. Flat calm warm Saturday night Fished 450-500' in Traverse Bay in the 14' what seemed to be about a solid 5 wood from shore. Structure, a concept growing up trolling around here, that I don't understand.

    Pretty fish. Hopefully the beach doesn't get too crowded. Someone post a report of coho in 230'!

    Not even sure I'll run the Four Winns this year, but it would have blocked the wind and laughed at that chop yesterday.

    Still got it, Wednesday PM Took my 13 year old out in the row boat after her ortho consultation. As I told her, we would gave to agree on what she wanted as it is my money but her teeth. Set up in ugly 2' chop but I'll take that over the dead calm east winds that were forecast. Water also had nice color and was above 40. We lost a nice brown to start the year, then cleaned off one side of the 14' in about 20 seconds landing a triple, all 3-4# browns. Trolled for 15 more minutes, turned around and hit a small 17" king and another brown. Kept the biggest brown for a coworker and let the rest go as they were not deeply hooked. Off the water by seven thoroughly cold and then she asked to stop for ice cream. Weird, but hey, my 13 year old said yes to fish in conditions most adults would not, then went 4/5 in conditikns where standing was a challenge.

    Ann's Custom Canvas. I think she offers a steelheaders discount.
