Went out at noon and fished till 3:30 going north from the port of Elk Rapids. Fished with two riggers and two wire divers in 50 to 65 FOW and 35 to 50 feet down at about 2.4 mph on the GPS. Went 12 for 16 but returned 5 undersize lake trout. The riggers had cowbells and peanuts and the divers had a Yeck Jerid spoon and a Dreamweaver mixed veggie UV spoon. All rods caught multiple fish and we had a couple of fire drills with just my wife & I on board. All fish were lake trout except for one small king salmon. The water temperature was 69 degrees on the surface and 49 at 40 feet. I'm wondering if the small King means that there might be some mature ones out there too. Any thoughts on the relevance of having small kings? Up here in the North we have to wait for the Kings to get here normally. -
Went out from 6:00 to 10:30 to look for Lake Trout and found them about five miles North in 40 -80 FOW. Went 8 for 11 with two under sized fish returned. Two were nice size and the other four were 20 -22 inches. Trolled at 2.5 mph +/1 with riggers, dipseys and lead core. Caught fish on everything but rigger with cowbells and peanut was best. UV spoons in yellows and blues also worked. Had most success with 30 to 45 foot depth of lures circling through the best spots. Thanks to Downtime for local advice on Grand Traverse Bay.
