Port Sheldon/Grand Haven 05/06

[GLF]

It was a GREAT time on the water, except for the fan. It blew hard all day long. Good thing it was out of the East and not out of the West.

We ran from Port Sheldon to Grand Haven to fish the West Michigan Fishing League event. We set up in 46' of water on a North troll. Our first fish came on a Stinger Nitro Twister(stingray size) on a half core around sunrise. While I was fighting the fish, the board dove and popped off the line. We could not find the board after we netted the fish. That was the only port side board we had. We trolled back to where we set up and started another North troll. About the same spot we caught our first fish, we hook another fish. This was on a Stinger Nitro E.T.(stingray size) on a rigger set at 45'. This ended up being our big king for the day. It hit the scales at 13.2lbs. We boxed this fish and went back around for another pass. Our next troll through the area a wire dipsey with 70' of line out, on #3 setting, blue bubble spinner with a fly. There is nothing like catching a spring king on a wire rig. You can feel every head shake of the fish. This was our third fish in the box. The wind shifted directions from East to South East. We never had another bump until we was pulling lines. I had just finished reeling in port side rigger line and taking care of the rod, and looked over at the other rigger. The rod was standing straight up and nobody was home. This was a Stinger Stingray Freakin' Veggies set at 45'.

WTG Mike. It's always GR8 to be out on the Big Water. That East wind has kept us off the water here. Eye-Terminator and I will probably make it out L8 this afternoon.
