Reel-y-hooked

Nice work and thanks for the detailed info. My daughter and I went straight out of port Sheldon and had lines set at 6:30 pm. We stopped and fished 125 fow. Marked tons of bait and had several good hooks around the bait at 40’ down and all the way to the bottom. Had two steelhead porpoise in front of the boat. port down rigger went once at 90 down with a ss glow frog and starboard rigger went once down 80 with a std Mongolian beef. Port low diver back 165 went once with a ss glow frog. 2 escaped and we landed 1. Pulled lines at 8:00 (school night) What a beautiful night ! water was flat and sunset was fantastic.

It is nice to have a little realtime intel to start out with. Our fish were full of small baitfish too. Thanks for the report.

Ran straight out to 150’ and trolled south. Had 3 bites on the south troll. Turned around and had 3 more bites on the north troll. Turned NE towards the pier and had 2 more bites. One in 100’ and last one in 90’. We boated 6 of the 8 bite’s and released one small king. We had a nice steelhead and a lake trout in the mix. much thanks to jolly time for the detailed report about small bait. We ran super slims and a couple standard size spoons. our best king (10lbs) bit a super slim 1/2 green jeans on a 12’ leader behind an 8” white slick spin doc. It was 100’ down on starboard rigger. Other bites were on both high divers back 260’ and 280’. Port rigger down 125’ and the free slider. 300 copper. Low diver back 180’ went twice. Spoons were ss green jeans, ss 1/2 green jeans, ss A-bomb, ss rosta goose, ss glow frog, and Mongolian beef. Lake was calm and no boat traffic and a spectacular sun set.

Thanks for the updated report after cleaning your fish. Great info.

Set a 6 rod spread at 6:30 pm. Marked fish on the bottom in 90 fow About 4 miles north of the pier. only needed 1 rod. Our 300 copper went 3 for 3 on a south troll in 90 fow. All were 6 to 7 lb kings. Ran one of my dad’s old spoons. (White with a green ladder back) I thinks it’s a doctored up pirate spoon. It’s been a good late season spoon for several years. Had a boat pass us running up on full plane about 200 yards inside the pier head after dark on our way in. That’ll get your attention in a hurry. Other than that idiot it was a beautiful evening out on the big lake.

Wow very nice ! A 40” pike is pretty special ! Your youngest got a trophy.

Nice ! Did you get a length on that northern? And yes you are fortunate to still have that plug. Normally that would be gone. That was a great evening of fishing.

Dandy coho !

Hey you avoided the skunk and it looked like a beautiful evening to be out fishing. Thanks for the report
