Sean will remember this trip. He reeled in most of these fish. I fished with Jim H, Sean's grandfather, Tom T, and Paul R. Bouncers and meat over 30 FOW. Speed was 1.5 and purple was the hot color. I love to see kids involved in our sport. 5 man limit with two bonus perch. Gitter Done.

Andrew, Better days are coming.

Good Job Ken. A nice mixed box.

WTG Terry. You had a fantastic day on the water. It sure beats the heck out of working.

Great Job Frank,

I'm back in Manistee and ready to fish I came back over on tuesday. We had a great season soon as the weather got better. I'm planning on coming back over next year will most likely stay until mid July. Well now it's time to switch gears and fish for salmon my first trip is Saturday morning.

Great job again and stay on them fish.

Dick I was thinking about you a few times while out fishing. I'm glad you had a good June on our beloved bay. If you make it back next year give me a call, and maybe we can have lunch on a windy day.

Nice King Rob.

GJ Jay and Adam. I wish I was there with ya. Manistee is my favorite late Summer port.

Tom T. aka TallTails, and Paul R. aka Paperboy, hit the pond with me this morning. We started fishing in 2-3 foot waves, that laid down to 1 footers. We managed a 3 man limit drifting and trolling. I'll bet you'll never guess what I was running. 3 oz bouncers with harnesses over the side, and 2 oz bouncers with harnesses off inline boards. 1.5 MPH over 29-30 FOW. Colors were purple, pink, red, and chartreuse. I had some Colorado, Dakota, and Smile blades on. Our hottest rod was over the side with a homemade red smile blade. Fishing is not as easy as it was a couple of weeks ago. We started early, to beat the bad weather forecast. I like fishing ahead of a storm front. It was a rare trip for me because I was on the helm the whole time, except for a nature call. Starting out drifting and trolling into the 3 footers was a task. I felt I could control the boat best. Any fisherman knows, if you don't have boat control, you don't have nothing. TallTails, and Paperboy, were very capable on the back of the boat. GITTER DONE. Oh!! We did get two bonus perch, some undersized walleye, and some farm animals. We threw back 3 legal walleye
