How big is the boat? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

1 for 3 and the one wasn't a big one. it was a small king, which I released back. The two other hits were steelhead that threw our lures. The water temperature has really messed up the fishing. Not a lot of bites from most of the fisherman. Surface temp was 52-58 @ 40' it was 43, water depth was 150 -202 ' at the stick. SOG was 2-3 to 2-6. You can see the lure I caught the BIG KING on in the picture. All my hits came on 5-8 color leadcore. Fishing here was pretty much like being in a parade. Find a slot and fall in. I hope the weather improves for fishing, but we will be leaving and not be able to enjoy it. Some guys did ok, but overall it was tough on the rest of us.

Congrats on the catch. Those are definitely night fish, because we worked that area during the day and almost got skunked. Nice sizes! Good luck keep it up. LB Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Slow day for the littleboat only one steelhead. Fished 10-2:30pm. It was 8.06#. Caught on 250 32# copper, sw troll at 2.5 SOG with an orange NBK in a 152'. Trolled between 80-160'. Water temp was 66 and 40 at 77'. The lake was very calm today. Actually saw the board I lost yesterday, but couldn't get back to it with all the lines just set. I was sw of Port Sheldon. The fish must have all gone to the Holland today. Isn't that just how it goes. LB Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Fished Holland 8:30 am -12:30 pm. 80-105 FOW, 3-4' waves, surface temp 66. 2 for 3, SOG 2.4, DR 55 dwn 60' back with green flounder pounder got a 4.38# king. FC lead with Ed Ganger Glo at 2.6 SOG got a 8.11# steelhead. But the real excitement came when a large steelhead took my 3 Color with a glo berry, jump 15' in the air, broke and my line a 100 ft from the boat. I lost my church board as it slid down the line. We looked for about 20 minutes with no luck to try and recover it. The capping waves made it difficult. So it has my name and number should you find it? LB

Finally got to HB today. 1st time this summer, long ride from Macomb (2hrs). The lake was calm (glass). trip was 7:30-10:00 am, 1 for 2 a small lake trout (released back to the water),it was 18". Lost something on another line 5 color, it took my pink panties and snapped the line. I was in 75-90' marking several pods of fish NE of the harbor. I did a cloverleaf pattern back into the pod everytime. Water temp was 66 on the surface and 46 at 70'. DR down 70' and back 60' with a green flounder pounder took the lake trout. Water was clear, but the wind blew up into 4' waves. Too much for my littleboat and I headed back to the harbor. I wish it could have been longer but the everyone had the same idea once the wind began its blow. Pictures were just before the wind blew. LB

Congrats on your catch by the way. I have a 16 1/2 ' Crestliner sport angler and was wondering how well the smaller boats do in larger wave conditions. I realize it's all on how well you handle the boat, besides it size. Thanks for your input. LB Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

How big are the waves that you can handle with it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

What size boat do you have? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

I mounted my X4D far away from the drive and just a couple of inches to the inside of the trim tabs. The readings are rock solid. As mentioned you have to use your GPS speed for the surface, since they used that display for the ball depth. The unit is great, no wires on a cable to deal with or wear out/replace. LB

Added depth, speed and temp readings.We were on a SW-SE troll SW of harbor. LB

picture of 1st mate, and fish most caught 50' range with the bottom being between 65-78'. temp was 48.7 and speed a ball was 2.5 with my new X4d (love it). We had gone out to 210' but wit no success. LB

I was in 78' of water. Fish were caught in 50". I will send pics once I'm on a bigger computer. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app
