    I did a solo troll this morning from 5:30 to 11 am and ended up 2/2 with a 1# steelhead and a 25.5# king that could've eaten the steelhead. The steelhead came in 150 fow on a north troll and the king came in 130 fow on a south troll. Here's what took the hits: - Steelhead: spongebob meat rig behind a mixed veggies spin doctor on 300 copper - King: blue fly behind a blue jeans Michigan stinger flasher on 200 copper Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    I cut the heads off because I don't trust there's enough meat in their head to stay on a rig. I just put mine in half canning salt and half store brand borax, it made the meat leathery tough and they don't go bad in the fridge Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    So I have a bunch of preserved brined alewife that a got in May. Would those work in a meat rig? I tested them, they fit my helmets and stay on but I'm hesitant to use them since I've never heard of anyone using them. Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Two hits on a north troll and one on a southwest.

    My dad and I haven't been able to hit the lake all month so we did more recon than anything. We fished from 6:45 to 11:45 just north of Holland. Almost immediately we had a rip and missed it at 140. After going to about 200 and getting nothing we went to 150, marked a few, and took a 21# king. We pulled lines not too long after. Sure hope this cold front loosens them up. Here's what took the hits: Downrigger 50 down w/ mixed veggies dreamweaver 0-1 Downrigger 100 down w/ mixed veggies dreamweaver 1-1 Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    We dropped lines at 5:30 am in 110 ft of water, started trolling NW and went over 2 full hours without as much as a release. Around about 8 we got a 16# king at 135 fow on a dipsy diver 275 out on 1.5. Before we could even get that one back out our downrigger 85 down took about the biggest coho I've ever seen (forgot to weigh it). After a brief drought we lost a king at the boat on a downrigger 85 down in 128 fow that I still can't unsee, immediately following that something took a rip at our 14c lead that didn't hook. After an hour drought we took a 17# king on a downrigger 105 down in 150 fow that got wrapped up in our 300 copper and both our divers. Here's what took the hits: 2 - pole dancer meat rig behind a green demon magnum paddle 1 - green and blue meat rig behind a green and blue big weenie flasher 1 - spongebob meat rig behind a mixed veggies spin doctor 1 - moonshine flounder pounder Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Trolled from about 5:30 to 8:30 and ended up 3 for 4, all medium kings. We started at 140 fow straight out of port and trolled NW to 180 with not so much as a mark. We then trolled NE to 160 and the fun began. We marked a couple then suddenly a downrigger 85 down took a king, and about as soon as we boated him the other downrigger 95 down took a king that wrapped up in two of our long lines. After about the 20 minute ordeal of untangling everything we had to take some time to refind the spot but we eventually found the same spot and on cue had a couple marks, got a king on a downrigger 85 down, and lost another one on a downrigger 85 down. Here's what took the hits: 2 - pole dancer meat rig behind a magnum green and white pro troll paddle 2 - spongebob meat rig behind a mixed veggies spin doctor 3 on a north troll, 1 on a northeast troll Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Successful solo trip this morning out of Holland. Fished from 6 to 10:30 am and went 5 for 11, 4 kings and a steelhead. Most of my hits came around 125 fow 45 down with one coming in 90 fow and last minute double headers in 135 fow. A spongebob meat rig behind a mixed veggies spin doctor took 7 of the 11 hits. Not sure why this app won't let me post pics Sent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Unfortunately I live in Holland so that's a little too far for me, thanks anyways

    What general area do you live in? I'm interested in the downriggers as long as it's not too long of a drive
