You got in a bonus trip!

Great work in the afternoon! Fall fishing at it’s greatest.

Began trolling in 120 FOW out to 160. 8:00 am: moved rigger from 80 ft to 135 ft down. Immediately caught a 9 lb coho, 140 FOW, mag moonshine green jeans. East wind seas got messy from 130 fow out so I moved inside to 70-80 fow. Marked a lot of fish and bait there but no takers. Headed in at 9:30 am. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

I was out solo this morning too. Fished 70-80 FOW. Marked a lot of fish , mostly on bottom, and lots of bait. Only had one hit, 9 lb Steelhead on dipsy , 2 setting, 120 ft back, Dancing Anchovy spoon. Tried various spoons, flasher flies, and plugs to no avail. A beautiful morning to fish though.

Now that’s a nice box of fish! Good work.

I released it.

I was thinking it might kick up this morning and decided not to go out. As Zgrinder says you were rewarded for the effort! I did fish for walleyes a little while this morning which yielded a bunch of weeds and nothing else. Last week I caught some nice size walleyes. Double bite on the slider is a new one for me! Good work Little Boat. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

I’d say you did great!

I was out last night as well. Went 2-2 both early in the evening, 6:15 and 6:45 pm. 6:15 pm: high dipsy back 200 ft, 120 FOW, green ladder back plug, 6 lb King 6:45 pm, rigger down 100 ft, 125 FOW, chrome two face SD, blue green KRW fly, 5 lb King Running only 3 lines going solo was an advantage with no tangles in the heavy current. No hits after 6:45, pulled lines at 8:45 pm. Sorry about the ball loss, Zgrinder.

Nice work

FYI, both of my fish this morning came on a north troll out by the sliders

Started in 100 fow at 6 am. Trolled out to 130 with no action for 2 hours. Then I decided to follow Pug’s advice and switch out my glow spoons for SD white double slick with a green fly on my rigger. Almost immediately landed a 6 and 5 lb king back to back on my rigger down 100 ft. Completely shutdown for me after that. Gorgeous day on the lake. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Good for you. I got up at 4:30 and checked the radar. Then went back to bed.

Looks like you are the big fish solo expert! Great work!
