MikeL Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We decided to launch the boat at 7:00 a.m. so we could have a good visual of how to maneuver through the floating debris. It actually was much better than what I thought it would be. There was still a lot of junk floating at the peirheads, so we ran west to 90’ and set lines. Ended the morning going 7 for 8, 5 kings (one shy of our two man limit) and 2 lake trout (released). Took hits on purple/chrome J-plug on braided dipsey set on #3 out 145’, green fly with green flasher on braided dipsey set on #3 out 190’, white glow j-plug on 300’ of 45# copper, green fly on tin can dodger on rigger. Two of our largest kings were on the bottom in 125’ of water. Temp was 52 at 68’ down. It was a great day of fishing and fellowship!MikeBattle Creek, MICatch 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeL Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 We did a trip last year out of St. Joe in the middle of October and caught over 20 fish. They were all 2 & 3 year old in 110' - 160'. The hard part is finding a day when the weather will let you out. The only other problem fishing in October is that you are typically all alone out there...good day for a "buddy boat partner.";)Mike LarsonCatch 22Battle Creek, MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
