Fished PS 7:30-10:00. Made a hard left at the piers and trolled the beach towards Holland. Missed a bite on a black tuxedo Stinger, then caught a double; 9# brown on a gator Warrior flutter spoon and a 6# salmon on a 5 eyes Moonshine. Made a couple more passes through the same spot w/o another bite. Ended 2/3.

Saw a couple of boats fishing out from PS yesterday. Looked like 40-50 FOW, but didn’t hear any reports.

This guy is in WI, but does nice work:  https://www.facebook.com/MitchMartinTaxidermy/photos/?ref=page_internal.  Not sure if you're looking for a skin mount or a replica.

Looking for recommendations for a taxidermist who does great work on trout. My son caught a 28” rainbow on the Betsie that we want to put on a wall. Any leads are appreciated.

Made the run up GH hoping to find some salmon at the pier heads. Fished 7:30-9:30, no bites and saw no fish being fought on other boats. Water was cold enough, and we marked fish. Disappointing, I thought this might be the 1 weekend for a push of fish.

Fished 9:30-12:00 this morning. Started in 60 FOW and trolled west. Saw GH charter boats lined up trolling south in 120-130 FOW. Saw no bait and only a few suspended fish, so we dropped some lines to bottom for LT. Caught 1 and lost 1 both on metal dodgers w spin and glows.

Fished a couple of hours Wednesday evening. Set in 120 trolled to 150 and back to 120 with out a bit, and without many marks. Turned north in 120, dropped a chrome SD and glow spin-n-glow on bottom and took 2 LT in 15 minutes. Trolled east while pulling line and saw quite a few fish in 110-115.

0 for 0.  Fished from 7 to 8:30.  The waves were too big for me!  1.5-2 foot rollers with 3's mixed in.  Wonder where they were coming from because it wasn't windy.
Went from 60 to 130 fow and then turned around.
I'll be back out in the morning and hopefully the rollers will have settled down.

Evening trip, lines in the water 7:30-9:15. Set up in 175FOW and trolled down wind to 120FOW. Caught a 6# SH in 165FOW on a green dolphin Stingray 55 down and a small salmon in 130FOW on a orange crush DW. No other bites. Lots of bait outside 160 and 130-120, didn’t mark many fish.

Not as bad as the last couple of years. Some weeds hanging on trailers and tons of duckweed on the surface.

Pretty cold water out there today?  Looks like the lake flipped.

Fish PS this morning. Started in 90 FOW trolled to 150. Marked some fish and bait 135-140, and caught a 11# king on a slider (MS Hulk). Worked 130-145 until 9:30 with one more bite. Ran towards shore and made a pass along bubbler, no bait, no fish in the shallower water.

Figured they were flushed out of a river with all of the rain. I caught a LT several years ago with 1 bgill in it. That too was after heavy rains. But yeah, pretty unusual.
