Fishing Report

We had a double today and fished both trips up north. We hit a couple fish early. One on a mag Fuzzy Bear Yellowtail 65 down on an out down and the other on a #3 Double Glow Black Ladder Back plug on a 175 copper. We rode for a while before taking a King on a 250 copper with a #Blue Splatter Back plug. We took a Laker on a Tin Can Dodger/Green Chartreuse Spin -N-Glow fished near bottom then took another King on a 10″ White Atomic Killer Spin Doctor/Green Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig out 100 on a low wire diver. We took a King on an out down set at 85 with a 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Ocean Mist Action Fly. Our last 2 Kings came on high wire divers. First was a 10″ Shocker Spin Doctor/UV on Ice Big Water Meat Rig out 165 and the second on a 10″ Mountain Dew Slick Spin Doctor/4th of July Big Water Rig. Eight bites eight fish in the boat. That doesn’t happen very often. The strong east wind made it hard to get a decent troll all morning. The wind died for our afternoon trip and it was much easier to get a good troll. We hit 2 Kings before we had all our rods set. First one was on the out down set at 85 with the 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Ocean Mist Action Fly. That combo took another King later in the trip. The second on a 250 copper with a 8″ UV Lizard Spin Doctor/4th of July Big Water rig. We took a Laker on our chute rigger with our Trout rig and missed another on it. Our high diver out 210 went with the same Shocker/UV On Ice set up and a low wire out 145 with a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig went three times. We missed a nice one on a 300 copper with a 10″ Kevorkian Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Rig. We had 12 bites and boated 6 of them. Have the day off tomorrow due to a late cancellation and have doubles scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Probably won’t have time to post another report until Wednesday. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

We fished north for both trips yesterday and this morning. We a good trip yesterday morning highlighted by Jim’s 15 lb. 11 oz. 35 7/8 inch Michigan Master Angler Steelhead. It came on a Dreamweaver Bloody Nose spoon on a 200 copper. Our hot rig was a 300 copper with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig. It went 3 times. A 10″ White Atomic Killer Spin Doctor/Green Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig went twice out 100 on a low wire and once on a 250 copper. We really struggled on the afternoon trip, 5 bites and 2 fish. The Laker came on a Tin Can Dodger/Green & Chartreuse  Spin-N-Glow fished near bottom and we missed another Laker on that rig.. We had 2 bites on a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig out 210 on a high wire diver. We landed one and the other was a nice king that pulled off at the back of the boat. We missed another King on a 10″ Chrome Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/ Blue Bubble Dreamweaver Meat Rig out 120 on a low wire diver.  Heavy boat traffic again this morning. We hit our first fish on a mag glow spoon on a 200 copper. Our second fish came on a 10″ Atomic White Killer/Green Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig out 100 on a low wire. We missed one on a high wire out 150 with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig. We took 2 Lake Trout on a Tin Can Dodger/Green & Chartreuse Spin-N-Glow on our chute rigger fished near bottom. We went through a lot of baits trying to get another bite, but it didn’t happen. Hoping for better action tomorrow. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
