steeliebob Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I fished from 5:30 am until 7:00 am. I caught two fresh hens a spunky 12 pounder took the lure at 6:00 am. Then at 6:40 I hooked one that I thought would spool me. I finally got it turned after a mad run, and brought a big 25 pound hen to the net. Pretty nice morning 55 degrees out and saw a beautiful Mackinac Island sunrise, again. I would have to say us Yoopers are a bit spoiled by what nature has to offer up here. I have fished in a lot of places throughout Michigan and I love St Ignace the best.
JWheeler Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Nice job. We frequented the area for several years chasing fish around the rivers. We sure enjoyed ourselves. Keep after them.
steeliebob Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 It is almost time to give up on salmon. I have been catching them since May and have had a banner year. I have to switch gears and go after the almighty steelhead which is equally as much fun to catch. My wife prefers the steelhead to eat, well I do too. So here we go 8 months of steelhead fishing then it is back to salmon fishing. The land of two seasons.
Priority1 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Shift gears and give it the gas. WTG Bob.
Playin Hooky Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Nice job, Bob! While our trips to the Straits this season have not been as productive as on S Lk MI, we definitely had our fill of that delicious scenery!
