Fishing Report

Wasn’t sure we were going to get out this morning. The southeast wind was blowing hard when we got down to the boat. The wind was supposed to lay down a little later in the morning, so we decided to go for it. We were glad we did. We didn’t have all our lines set when a 300 copper with a Prototype PK Special Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine action fly took off. Shortly after that our starboard out down set at 65 with a pair of SS UV Green Jeans went. We boated both fish. They were Kings. Our starboard 225 copper went with a SS A-Bomb, but that one got away. The starboard out down fired 2 more times. Port 10 color took a Steelhead on a Green Hulk. Port 300 copper went 1 time with an 8″ Prototype White Charlie Special Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. Starboard high wire diver out 225 went 3 times with a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. Starboard low wire out 135 went 2 times with a 10″ Dreamcatcher Spin Doctor/Prototype Glow Little Boy Blue DW Meat Rig. Our chute rigger went 1 time down 85 with an 11″ White Slick DW Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. The Lake did lay down and our crew enjoyed their day on Lake Michigan. Today was our last scheduled trip for the 2025 season. We have been having an issue with our starboard motor, and it is scheduled to be taken out and fixed next week. We are going to need to run the motor when we get it back, so weather permitting and if the fish are still biting, we plan on running a few more trips. Hopefully this won’t be our last report for the 2025 season. We use Dreamweaver Deeper Divers, Dreamweaver Ninja Boards, Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs, and Morgan’s Tackle Copper and wire.

It was a slow start for us this morning. All rods were set, and it was light before our starboard low wire diver out 135 with a 10″ Dreamcatcher Spin Doctor/Prototype DW Little Boy Blue Meat rig took off. The fish hit and was gone. That rig did take a nice King a little while later. Port high wire diver out 250 with a 8″ White Slick Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went 3 times. Port low wire diver out 100 went 2 times with an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. Port 3 color core went 1 time with a Gold Fireball. Port 250 copper went 1 time with a Mini Lucky Charms DW Plug. Port 300 went 1 time with a Prototype 8″ Flip Fin Paddle/Glow Fly. Starboard 7.5 color core went 1 time with a Sunshine spoon. Starboard out down went 1 time with a pair of SS UV Green Jeans. The chute rigger took a Lake Trout down 90. Not as many bites today compared to our last few trips. It was a good thing our crew made the most of the fish that were hooked up. We use Dreamweaver Deeper Divers, Dreamweaver Ninja Boards, Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire.
