Great solo run Ed. Netting those kings alone is an art.  The water was great this morning for a solo trip. We were out of Pentwater in 55 fow. We almost had a 6 rod spread in and a flurry resulted in every rod being back in the boat and a 225 copper broke off and in the mouth of a feisty king. It was a plug bite all week up here.  If the plug glowed it got bit. 8 for 14 before we could get a cup of coffee.

Nice work this morning Ed.  With 30 minutes of constant action, who needs coffee .  Thanks for sharing you got the downriggers working.  Going out tonight before the blow.

Reel-y-hooked, you killed it this morning out of Pentwater.  Plugs have been getting very good reports this past week.

Nice work, Ed.

I got one early, then missed a second when I was changing lures on a board. Then it shutdown for me. Oh well. Freezer is in good shape.
