Tried St. Joseph again to try and redeem the poor fish catching trip earlier in the week. Stopped at Tackle Haven to replace my net resting peacefully in the bottom of the Lake and got the latest report.

Went out to the 160's to start since the lake was so nice and had a laker on before the second downrigger was even set. Caught on a Pro King spoon with lots of green. Cruised around for the next few hours with nothing, no marks either so went on a south east troll and finally drove over some fish in the 120's. Picked up six more on that pass, turned and went back through the fish and picked up the rest, with a few more passes. Three fish came on a 150 copper we had up high with a small red flasher and small red fly, hoping for a steelhead, it caught 3 kings.

The rest came on spoons, Moonshine ended up being the best, lighter colors. Kept the down riggers around the 100 foot down and we figured the dipseys were in the 60 foot depth range.

One four year old king, six additional kings of various sizes, and three lakers, which are on their way to a friends smoker. The lake was beautiful.
