Little Bay de Noc...May 23rd 2010

[Capt. Ken]

Today's trip was with Hal, Joe and Al from the Munising Michigan area. We left the Gladstone Yacht Harbor shortly before 7 a.m. and headed to where Jay, Tom and I left the fish yesterday. We kept it simple today using Walleyes Choice 1/4 oz. in-line weights and harnesses. The fish were on fire the first couple hours of the day, however getting keepers to bite was the hard part. We did manage 6 or 7 keepers before making a move to some deeper water where we marked some nicer fish. We didn't have our baits in the water 30 seconds and we had a double with one being 22 inches and the other a 28 incher that Hal wanted to keep. I didn't mind after seeing all the blood in the live-well, the fish would not have made it anyways if we had released it. Our best bite for keepers was from 11 a.m. until about 2 p.m., then it slowed some and we headed in. Overall it was a great day on the bay, with close to 40 undersized fish released. By far our best color on the spinners today was I-76 (purple). We also caught quite a few on I-62...which is always good when the fish are feeding on wigglers and mayflies. We ended up with 14 keepers for the guys to take back to Camp. Here's some video of our catch, good luck from all of us in the Bay de Noc area!!!
