St. Ignace 8/23

Well couldn't hardly find coldwater anywhere today so we headed to the old standby coast guard dock. I had my buddy mike and his two young sons with me. Fuel was getting low, It was starting to get late and I was worried that stinky striped fellow was going to rear it's ugly head...Just then the downrigger went off and one of the boys brought in a real nice eater...Soon after the other downrigger went off peeling line. Mike and his older boy fought it for awhile before handing it off. 30 minutes and one heck of a fight later we landed fish #2. Shortly after that the deep dipsy goes off and another 30 minute fight with a frisky king. Great day 3/3 and some first timers got to fight some great fish. pm for more info.

According to the Fish Cam at the face of the Dam, the Atlantics are gathering pretty thick at the Power Station on the Saint Marys River. See this link: http://www.lssu.edu/arl/fishcamlive.php The Chinooks and the Pinks should be getting abundant themselves in the river very soon.

Very Nice S.Q. How big did the big one go? I see in the Detour Salmonfest http://www.detourvillage.com/ a fish over 20 was landed. Things may be looking up.

The big one was a blast it went fast and furious out of the gate. I was a little worried when I noticed the spool getting low... There were only 4 other boats out where we were and he was so far back that I was positive one was going to break him off. He surfaced quite a few times. I couldn't gain foot one for at least fifteen minutes. What a blast. He hit off the stacker.
