The lake is 1-1.5 ft below last years level right now. Becareful you don't back your trailer wheels off the last slab trying to get launched. Wherever you launch. It is not so much of a problem at PS. It will be a little tough getting the boats on/off the trailers while launching/retrieving this season. I'm hoping that we don't have so many windy days this year. Keep your bow strap on as long as possible on the PS launch. It's very steep. If you're not careful, your boat might launch itself before it gets to the ramp. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

One ramp in, very steep launch angle. Ice floating in front of the channel. 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

I think what happened, the main lure wonderbread MS , took the fish, but the slider (rv std flounder pdr) went down the line, and he bit it again. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Great recovery and catch! They were there, just not ready to pop, but you waited them out. Maybe the beginning of the run has started? I could see them on the bottom in the AM, but I couldn't get them to budge, only coming up with zebra muscles on my lures in the attempt .
