I did make it to the West Bay. A number of boats around Boardman Hole. Was on the water twice with no success. one morning and one evening. Using Dipsys with Spin Doctor and flys. Marked a lot of fish at 60 to 80. Couldn't get anything to bite. The only thing I can say is that I didn't see any nets win the water. Ran out to west side of power island for a while too.

Any further words of wisdom?? heading up next week. East vs West bay?

Sorry this was an old one. I did go to Harbor Springs. Caught 3 lakers in two days. Lost one. going to Grand Traverse next week.

Yep have a Lowrance system. Staying on the East Bay, but the 19’ Lund can be put any where. Any thoughts West vs East?? Heading up next week. Green Flys with spin doctor and Mag Dipsy. Or spoons??

Thanks. Will do

Anyone ever used trolling plates on back of outboards, with trims fully down?

I have a chance to pick up a 27' center counsel with twin 200's. Can you troll successfully in the Erie and Michigan and get the speed you need. I am not sure what the idle speed will be, but not 1.5 to 3.0 I bet. Any best practices that can be suggested. One engine and a sea anchor??? Other ideas?

ThreeDogsDown How is the fishing going???

Awesome!!!! Thanks for the info!!!!🐟

Thanks!! I assume you are down 80 to 100ft? How far down the peninsula from down town will I have to go.

I am going to the East Bay with my family for a week late August with a 19' Lund Tyee. Can I fish the bay for Salmon and Lakers with Magnum Dipsys in the bay and get deep enough?? Not using Lead Core. Any suggestions?? Thoughts on depths and would they be at a certain Temp or just below the Thermal? Any thoughts would be appreciated

Heading to Harbor Springs mid August. No downrigger on my 19 foot Lund. Is it possible to go after Lakers and Salmon using Dipsy Divers? What depths would I need to get to? Any info would be appreciated. Usually fishing Walleye in Lake Erie and Detroit River
