We ran south today until we found 50 degree water. We set up in 110 feet and hit a good King on a low wire as we were letting it out. By the time we boated that fish the surface temp had dropped to 46 degrees so we turned back north. We had all our lines set and got back in the warmer water when we hit our next fish. It came on a 5 color core with a Gold Super Slim Starburst. It was another King. We stared trolling in a big circle going from the warm and touching the cold water. We took another King and lost one on that same 5 color core. We took a Lake Trout on a 7.5 color core on a Yeck Jelly Bean. We took a Coho on a 3 color core with the same Gold Super Slim. We had a couple of small Kings dragging when we pulled lines. We were marking some Trout on the bottom and had a couple riggers bouncing bottom but never took one
It was tough fishing up north today. We had to run further north than yesterday to find 50 degree surface temp. We set up in 170 feet of water and hit a nice King on our chute rigger down 80 on a mag DW Blue Hulk. That fish ended up being the biggest fish of the day. We took a small King on a 5 color core with a Yellow Skinny Jeans Super Slim. We fished up there for a couple hours and only had one more bite. There were several Ludington boats fishing the same area and it was slow for them too. We pulled lines and ran back south. We set up in 100 feet of water a mile north of the Point. We put our wire divers and riggers on the bottom for Trout and our coppers & cores out for Kings or whatever. We caught 5 Trout, 4 on riggers and 1 on a low wire diver. The all came on 8″ Chrome Spin Doctors and Chartreuse/Green Whirly Gigs.
