Trolled out of Port Sheldon 4:30-6:30, too nice to stay home. Worked 90-120 FOW. Had 2 bites, both on a Stinger Jager Bomb on 250CU. Current was fierce. Marked bait and fish. I imagine that the bite was good at dusk. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Fished again 7/3. Set lines at 6:30 and headed in at 9:30. Set in 80FOW up by M45; worked out to 140 then back into 75 as we trolled back towards PS. Had a good rip on a diver w a 10” white dbl crush SD and meat in 122FOW and caught an adult king in 78 FOW on a UV blue dolphin Stingray. There were many boats out and radio chatter sounded like fishing was slow. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

When fishing steelhead offshore in fall down temperatures aren’t as important as they are the rest of the season. At this time you can find some areas where the surface temp is 1-3 degrees cooler and the steelhead will be in those areas. You can cover a lot of water and suddenly stumble into an area hold fish. The fish out deep are usually feeding on small bait that usually marks in small schools in the top 50. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Okuma cold water reels are hard to beat for the price. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Sounds better than the cooler looked. Nothing over 6# and they all fit easily in a 5 gallon bucket. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Fished solo out of PS. Set line on 85 FOW and trolled to 140. Caught 4 on out pass, 1 LT, 2 immature kings and a small coho. Caught another small coho just before 9 and headed to the dock. All bites 125-140 FOW, 40-65 down. White ProTrolls with no-see-um and hypnotist flies and a blue dolphin Stingray were best. Ended 5/6. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
