    Great pic Bob, was that from the Spyglass Hill cam? Chad, we have a link to it on the web cam tab here, looks like it is building since Bob posted his pic: http://spyglasshill.com/Webcam/netcam.jpg

    Not that I want to keep small fish but I'm not for it until we see the alewives rebound. Some people talk about "all the bait they are seeing on the graph or in the harbors at times." They are only observing a very small part of a really big lake. My answer to that is if we had all kinds of bait, why has the size of kings gone down? We know we had low king numbers this season so if we had lots of bait, we should have had lots of bigger fish and they were significantly smaller this year. I don't put 100% faith in our DNR but I still think we need to reduce predators and let the bait build up numbers or Lk. Mich will end up like Lk. Huron. I'm even more concerned that due to mussels, there won't be enough food for alewives to thrive regardless of how much predation we eliminate. Maybe there is nothing we can do to prevent a crash. I hope I'm wrong on this.

    I'd second an old Yeck too. The white back spoons don't seem to work as well compared to chrome backs in recent years with the clear water, at least on our boat.

    Very sad http://coastguardnews.com/coast-guard-suspends-search-for-missing-men-on-lake-michigan/2015/10/01/ CLEVELAND — Coast Guard crews suspended their search Thursday for two men who were reported overdue from a fishing trip on Lake Michigan Wednesday. Missing are Chris Patterson, 25, and Aaron Juarez, 33, aboard a 16-foot white and blue boat. The two men launched from Pigeon Lake boat launch in Port Sheldon, Michigan, early Saturday morning and have not been heard from since. “Due to the amount of time that has elapsed since the two men departed on their fishing trip and the excellent search conditions our crews experienced over the course of our searches, we have made the difficult decision to suspend active search efforts,” said Capt. Amy Cocanour, the commander of Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan in Milwaukee. “We offer our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones affected.” After receiving notification of the missing boaters, the Coast Guard conducted a total of 23 searches, covering an area of nearly 3,800 square nautical miles of Lake Michigan, and used nine different boats and aircraft in the search. Involved in the search were: a 47-foot response boat from Coast Guard Station Grand Haven, Michigan; four Dolphin helicopters from Coast Guard Air Stations Traverse City, Michigan, and Detroit; an HC-144A Ocean Sentry fixed wing aircraft from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, Massachusetts; an HC-130J Super Hercules fixed wing aircraft from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina; and a Royal Canadian Air Force C-130 Hercules from 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, Ontario. Also involved were units from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department and the Wyoming Police Department, conducting land-side shoreline searches and a search of Pigeon Lake. Anyone with information regarding this search is asked to contact the Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan command center at 414-747-7190.

    Sent you a PM Ron. Dan, I brought the boat home so last troll for us. No mature kings for us and anyone at the cleaning station when I was there. It will be interesting to hear the Little Manistee weir count, bet it will be real low, hope they get enough eggs this year.

    Surface was 63-64 degrees, no break on top. Downtemp was low 50' @70 ft, the thermocline was moving up and down, pockets of cooler water here and there.

We had good action for a couple hours from 200 -220fow. Took it to the 38s west, 50's south. Full core with a mag holographic blue dolphin hit 2. Mag low diver out 150 took 2 with a lemon ice spin dr and pickled sunshine fly. MS sarge on a rigger down 80, double orange crush free slider on a 100 ft rigger hit 2. 3 color with a orange crush yeck. 300 copper with a yeck jerrid. 80 ft copper and a yeck lemon ice.Ended up 9 for 12.

    So what's the verdict on these new spoons now that September is here and the peak season is winding down?

    My buddy and I fished Friday AM. Went down the bank working 90-110fow early and moving out later. Hit 5 landed 3, all inside, nothing on our out troll. 10 in white crush paddle and oceana fly down 80 ft on a rigger. #3 blue splatter back J plug hit 2 on a 225 copper. Double glow dw cut plug on a 300 copper. Last came on a lemon ice dw plug on a 1-1/2 lb out 200. We fished last night in 90 to 110 ft of water from the 56's to the 00's. Marked a lot of fish, did not lift a rod for 2-1/2 hrs then caught 4 in the last half hour before dark. Same plugs and a 10 in Kevin's girlfriend spin doctor and green mile rig on the 1-1/2 lb out 200. Good luck!

    Nice catch Martin all by yourself and putting away some gold for the fall.

    Run a much longer lead to the fly than you would on a smaller flasher.

    Great Lakes duel holders are the best for divers. The unique thing about them is they will lock in position you set them at, usually pointed parallel to the water off the gunnel but when a fish hits, you can grab the rod, pull up and the holder will release and come up with your rod and you can pull it out of the holder in a more upright position rather then having to lean way out of the boat to get the rod out of the holder. It was really nice when we had big kings of years past making a screaming run at the hit. They are also built super solid. They are not cheap but they are the best. http://www.greatlakesholders.com/products-page
