Very, very cool. Great job!

Thanks so much! I sent you a reply back. I'll know more as the time approaches. Scott

Thank you, guys. I know where the municipal marina is in St. Ignace. I can't picture where the coast guard station is--it must be close to that? Appreciate the help. Scott

I will be heading to the straits for an "other than fishing event" the weekend of June 11, 12, 13. The good news is that my son is going with me and the boat follows along. We will have a chance to try fishing. Fishing in the straits is new to me....I'm an avid diver and scuba there a lot, but I'm newbie to techniques there. Would someone be able to guide me as to good locations or suggestions? We are actually staying on the boat for the weekend at Mackinac Island marina. The boat can handle some weather and distance. Thanks, Scott

Got lines in about 4:30p and trolled until 8P We shot out to 165 FOW and marked a lot of fish anywhere from 20-60 down. Much thinner deeper than that. Surface temp out there around 52-53 and temp at the ball was 44 at around 60-70 feet down, and 48 at 20-30 feet. We got hits on most everything except flies. Spoons were it for us Big king hit a dipsey with superline on an OLD NP Nailer, silver with green dolphin type stripe--rod fouled and line snapped at the snubber. Other hits were on a torpedo diver, 30 foot lead, 45 feet more after the torpedo. Several dipsy hits and rest on riggers. Most hits for us were high--around 20-40 feet down. Wound up with 4 coho, and one 8# king. Best colors: Anything with green, but not too loud. Scott
