Grant.. did you mean 6/23 instead of 5/23?... if yes.. thanks for the report... I am going to fish Grindstone for 3 weeks in July... I am not clear where you headed out to find them... Were you near the reef in Pt Austin? Speaking to some of the locals a few weeks ago, thats where to start in 80-90 fow.. then work out.. you started deeper... what was your strategy ??

sorry for what might be basic questions... still learing the big water strategy... a big shift for me from fishing inland lakes.

Yep Steve good eye 6-23:lol: but yes to your question Port Austin side of the reef was my target but I was marking a lot of fish where I was, the strategy to my trip was start deep becuase the time I was going 3:00pm and work my way in to the thinner water as the sun came down, If you have a chart map plotter you can see the fastest drop off on the reef thats where I always head in the after noon, in the morning I aways go to the PA side of the reef setup in 80fow and work NE in and out troll:thumb:

PS I hope this answers your questions I will be up there fishing on the weekends in the time frame you there, If you see a blue and white 22' starcraft offshore hard top with Great Lakes fisherman decals on it that looks like a porkypine give me a shout @ Kingchaser. on 68
