I'm hoping for another one. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Fished solo, 3hrs, went 4 for 6, all small kings, released them to grow for next season. Worked water 50-60ft off harbor north, west and south. Had to check the lines alot because of the small jacks. Waves were building the farther I went out. I caught them on std yeck crazy sweet corn and MS bloody nose std. On north and south trolls. Surface temp was 53.7. Bottom temp was 44-45. Ran the ball about 5 feet off the bottom (50-53°). Used a 6C and 8C to the sides. Ran spoons and a wonderbread jplug. Bait was around but only in a few spots. Installed a couple of electric DRs, so I just had to try them out. I didn't see any other boats out. It's been over a month since I have been out.

I think there must be a hidden no wake speed sign that I must be missing that says 10+ mph when near small boats!. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Must have been night fishing? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Fished solo, 1 for 1, caught small king, on std bloody nose slider on DR ball depth 95 in 125fow at 7:40am. Threw it back in and decided to work the area from 120-136 fow and see if I could get something bigger. Lots of marks but no success. Also, when trolling south, I had a very strong west current, which surprised me by pushing my low diver across the stern of my boat. I had to do a double take, thinking a fish got it and the fight was on. But it wasn't. Then I thought, "Could the weight move by itself, or did I turn it in the wrong direction?" But I didn't. Very bizarre, only happened on a south troll. I also ran one cannon ball, so it just skimmed the bottom, but no luck.This warm water is really challenging to catch fish of any size. I may have to go back to night fishing. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

That warm water brings out everyone with a sheepish grin. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

All I got was a 18# sheephead today. Biggest one I ever caught. What a mess trying to get him out of the boat. I caught him on a 2C. Ran up north of Holland trying to recover. Marked alot fish in 120fow, but no takers. Went out to 150fow. The temp was 55-57 down at 145 fow. I think you would have to go 180-200 to get some colder water. I was surprised how warm the water was at the piers, especially compared to the bouy. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Looks like a great solo trip! And remember to bring the kitty litter next time. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
