  4. It will probably be a little bouncy tomorrow also, if their model doesn't get itself together. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  5. Fished 7:30-11:30, 60-115fow, 1/1 small king on lemonberry spoon on rigger 75 down, in 90fow, sog 2.7, sw troll, ball temp 45. Released him back ino lake. No other hits. Forecasted waves were way off. Had 3 ft chop most of the time. Most marks were in the 45-75 ft range, very few or none deeper. Had a couple of tangles with dipsy and rigger. Strong currents today pushing them into each other. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

  7. Love the pics! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  8. Fished 80-125, mostly 115 fow depth. 1/1 catching a 4# coho on a caramel dolphin on 270 cu, 2.5 sog south troll in 121fow. Lots of marks, but no biters. Tim joined me again today. But the real story of day was the great help I got from two separate groups of people. My truck broke down in the dnr launch, so I couldn't retrieve my boat. A sailor named Pat, unhitched his sailboat trailer and hauled me out. (Hero #1) I believe he lives near me, so after I thanked him and I will definitely offer him some fresh catches, when I see him. (Heroes#2) Pat ("Creekerman" his handle) and Mike, brothers helped me get the boat home. I was able to thank them and give them a bunch of fish from my freezer. They had not caught any today. So those rescues I have done in the past, came back to save me. Thanks again to them and others Tim and Brad for your help also.

  9. I checked my records and this looks like the biggest one I have caught so far this year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  10. Fished 7-9am, work inbetween potential storm, 3 ft waves, but rollers. Worked 50-95fow. 1/1-- 13.31# steelhead, on splatterback green plug, slidediver, set 3, 50 ft lead, bk 75, 2.7 sog, west troll, in 60 fow.
  11. It had eggs. Tim wanted them for river fishing steelhead. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  12. King salmon tail(added picture ) has spots over entire tail. Coho does not, just upper portion as does the one I caught. It is a tricky one to identify. If it didn't flake so much as coho usually do I would have though the same. Thanks.
  13. Closeup of spots on tail. Only upper portion not entire tail as a king would be.
  14. You played it safe. Fish another day, I always say. BIG COHO! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  15. I pulled alot little guys off my line lately also. I'm constantly checking them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  16. Paid for you to hang in there! Nice catch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  17. I hate those weeds! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  18. Warbler, thanks. I haven't seen a king flake like this one if it is one. Mouth color can be deceiving at times(picture angle). The tail was not full of large spots, which is typically of kings, but on the upper portion of the tail as coho. Look closely if you zoom in to the tail in the cooler. I hate that bouy that is unlit as you mentioned. I'm always on the lookout for it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  19. Pretty flakely king don't you think? Gums were were more white/gray than black. Picture angle shows it more black than it really was. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
