littleboat replied to Dr Hook's topic in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout
I was wondering how things were going out there with the wind and waves. Better day tomorrow for you. I hate it when those little characters take you equipment home with them. I'll check with you in the am if your out Sunday. -

If you look a little underneath of the lower part of the helm wheel you will see my Raymarine Autopilot I install. The 6hp outboard is just incase my main motor stops. I have a troll plate, but never use it unless I really want to go real slow. With the boat in gear and the throttle back it trolls at about 1.9 to 2.3 sog. I use the I-pilot when I'm jigging or trolling for walleye on small rivers and lakes and want to keep the noise to a minimum. -

16 1/2' Crestliner Sport Angler. I bought it used about 3 years ago. I installed all the electronics and even added an autopilot on it last year. I did all the rigging also. I think the only things I'm missing now are radar and missle launchers? Easy to one man launch and retrieve. Still, catching fish requires knowing your species and the environment, but improving your setup makes it somewhat easier. I can put alot of rods on the boat, but only 3 in the water. -

I have a short base antenna looks like a CB antenna. I scan the channels so I can usually hear everyone. I didn't hear your handle, so I figured you were probably at work otherwise I would have given you a shout. Wife and I love it over here in Holland. -

Holland 6/24 AM

I ran just farther north then you. About 1/2 way between ps and holland. As like you lots of marks few biters. Hits were on a uv dolphin spoon. I forgot my meat rigs but not the meat. Stuck the meat into two bw flys. They held in, but the fish could have cared less. Not one bite on them. Fish seemed to want spoons this morning. I don't know if they were in an official meat rig if it would have made any difference? -

Maybe it was a coho with that combination of dark mouth and light gums. I know that steel heads typical have that square tail. The whiter gums and the way it ran along the side of the boat when I netted it, acted more like a steelhead, but i agree with you that tail is too forked for a steelhead. Thanks. -

My error, it was a 6.94 # steelhead. The gums were more white upon closer inspection. Had another hit 10 minutes later but it shook the lure loose. I thought things might break loose and I would get a few more, but that was not going to be the case. I was 2.5 sog on a nw troll. The lake was beautiful today. 1/2 on the scoreboard. -

In his originally post he had written "nw" after I mentioned the error he changed it to "NE". I was just trying to follow the story. Still a great catch with good detail Thanks -

Was your 2nd pass in a different area much further then you thought? Great catch regardless, congratulations. -

Why do you think the fish bit on the second pass but not the first -
Fished 9am-1:20pm 2 for 2, kings in 120 and 130 fow. 3# and 4#. 1st on 300 32# copper, sog 2.8, sw troll with blue bones spoon. 2nd one on se troll, sog 2.1, braided diver set on 3, 120bk w/ meat rig grn/white/dots. The 1st caused quite a tangle up between a 45# 250 cu, 32# 300 cu and wire diver. Surprised me, because I thought it would have been a much bigger fish. . I had to do some wire cutting to keep the fishing going. 3 ft waves at the time about 6.5 miles off shore. We were out to 200 but started in 80fow.

Fished 6-10:30 6-17 0/3 what a heart breaker of a day. Lost a beautiful king at the boat jumping the net. Lost another hit (?) when my guide broke as I bought in the fish cutting the line. Finally, a shaker earlier in the am. All hits were on stinking old meat rigs, sw and w trolls at 2.7 sog, braided diver set 3 back 140 with a net minder sd(155'). Others were DR down 80 back 40' in 179 fow. Nothing hitting on LCs 5c. Started in 65ft trolled west. Meant Windy II today.
