Out to 85 FOW at 0630 hrs. Would have been earlier but tried trolling some stickbaits and plugs around the mouth of the Paw Paw River and in the mud line outside the pier heads. No joy. Glow program set by dawn. Two kings in the boat by 0800. One in 91 FOW, 3 color SWR with Wonderbread J-plug off deep riggger down 80. Second king in 94 FOW 65 feet down back 50 feet off the other DR. Almost a double. Six and a half pounders. Had first one flopping in the net when the second popped. Awesome. Continued trolling out after a couple circles in the 90's and at 110-120 FOW was mega-bait and big Vs. Three of four riggers popped with five minutes. Lost one old fighter near the boat and complete chaos for about 10 minutes. Awesome. By 1000 hrs nothing further to reort. Pulled lines at 1130. Lots of perch fisherman in 25-30 FOW south of Pierhead. So two for five from 0630-1130. Should have quit trolling not later than 1000 and went perching.

Good luck this weekend. I am heading back out in 18 hours if the wx holds. It is really really nice out there - as of lunchtime.
