Got some nice Kings today up north off the bank. The biggest pictured left was a 23.2 lb. 39.6 inch dandy caught by Bub Smyth. It came on a 250 copper with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Green Mirage Strong Fly Meat Rig. Bub’s King qualifies for a Michigan Master Angler Award. Two other Kings pushing 18 lbs. came on a 10 color core with a 10″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green UV Big Water Meat Rig. We set up in 120 feet of water (fow) in the high 00’s and trolled north. The surface temp was 53 degrees and it was 41 degrees down 50 feet. We had all our rods set before we got our first bite. It came on a 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green UV Big Water Meat Rig on a 10 color core. We hit our second fish on a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Rig on a 250 copper but it got away. We rode all the way to the Point without another bite. We talked to a friend and he told us they were taking some nice Kings out in 200 to 230 fow. We made a turn out to head back south in deeper water when we took a King on a high wire diver out 120 with a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. We took 3 more Kings on the south troll working between 190 and 230 fow. We turned back north in the high 00’s and took the rest of our fish on the north troll. Our 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly on the chute rigger only went once today. A Steelhead hit it when we were reeling it in at the end of the trip. All our fish came on meat today except two. Our next scheduled trip is Tuesday afternoon. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle on our copper rods.
