wishfull thinking Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Fished normal people times, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Had my aunt and uncle from kansas out with us today and it started slow. Set up in 60 fow and went south west, 2 hours later we had our first fish. About the time most of the few boats left we went west and it got crazy. Landed 20 of the 24 we had on. Water was 120 to 180 fow. We had riggers down 80 and 100, mag dipsys back 150, regular dipsys back 140 and 180, coppers were the hottest in 225, 250, 275, and 300. Have to say thanks to the red boat that changed course to avoid us when we had our tripple on, it was a mess and these guys saved us from losing our gear. First class bunch of guys, hope we can do the same some time. There was a little yellow bird out there that hung around our boat and every time it came around we had a double or tripple on. Here's what worked...rigger down 100 with pearl fish scale paddel and oceana flyrigger down 80 with wonderbread glow silver horde cut plugmag dipsys on setting 1 back 150 with double glow silver horde cut plugsize 1 dipsys back 180 and 140, same 2 plugs as above225 copper with green splater silver horde cut plug250 copper with glow silver horde with black dots (done with sharpie)275 copper with another silver horde with gray ladder back300 copper with same glow wonderbread spoon as above
Blackhawk Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 awesome day! Thanks for the details, just picked up a couple more Silver hordes yesterday:thumb:
Nailer Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Great morning John. Did you have a bunch of Coho mixed in with the catch?
wishfull thinking Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 3 coho, 1 laker, 9 steel, and the rest kings. 3 of the kings were hens and the rest males. All silver fish today. Everyone was really good to fish around also, nice change of pace. If you guys were out there, well done and very professional.
Just Hook'n Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 WOW. 20 - that's the best I've heard in a number of weeks. Great job showing people from Kansas what Lake Michigan has to offer. Spoiled em.
wishfull thinking Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah, best day we've had in a VERY long time but it was a really late morning bite for us. Speed didn't seem to matter to much or direction. Some day I'll learn how to upload pix.
JWheeler Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah buddy. Sounds like all hell broke loose...love it when that happens. HEavy plug bite eh?
Nailer Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Some day I'll learn how to upload pix.John, check this out on how to post pictures.

SeaCatMich Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Nice box of fish! I doubt it will be their last trip out with you.
