Reel-Deal Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 1 for 3 with 2 of us on the boat - me and a newbie - fog was thick so we motored out slowly to about 80 FOW - started just north of port and set up heading south - good marks, good bait, good temps - surface was 64 and 43 deg on the bottom. Had the 300 CU go with a green mag flounder pounder - fish was a mature and fought hard for 3-4 minutes and came off - then 10 minutes later - the 200 CU rips - and this fish was MUCH bigger - never gave an inch or put the brakes on - he turned and headed north and never looked back - he hit a reel that didn't have as much backing on it and I had to muscle him - but he broke off - BIG KING #2 LOST Then - the braided dipsy out 150 on 2.5 with green SD and fly ripped - this was a smaller fish but boated him after a few minutes - 15# king.... Fog lifted about 11 am Very glad to see some kings show up - heading out this weekend and next week! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwinn42 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 What was your SOG? Crazy current headed north right now, been doing 1.6-2.1 to get a ball speed of 2-3-2.7 Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reel-Deal Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 SOG ranged from 2.6 - 4.2 depending on direction - yep - lots of currents down there! Tight lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
