Turfwrench Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Hit up Pt Sanilac yesterday. What a beautiful day to be out on the water. Lake fairly flat with light winds. Worked skinny waters in the morning, marked plenty but no fish wanted to play. Turned the boat out towards deeper waters and at 60' a rigger came to life. Stayed within that area for the rest of the trip going 8 for 12, 7 steel and 1 small king that I drug around for a while...dooh. Nice to see the younger kings, shows signs of continued improvement for the lake. Fish came in top 30 fow over 60-75'. Spoons trolled 3.1 - 3.4 did most of the damage with a couple on highlines with body baits. Largest steel just shy of 9 lbs @ 31". Saw several fish throughout the day skimming the surface and chasing bait, several shiner were spit up in the cooler. These fish were not boat shy either as we caught a couple on the dipsys set on #3 40' out. Now that is close to the boat!
Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Nice catch and report Bill, hope that young man caught some steelies on this trip, looks like it from the smile alone.
Turfwrench Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 The grandson is quite the fisherman. He has been on almost every trip on the water this season including both trips to Frankfort. This is a pic of him in his fighting chair from on of our trips, he uses the cup holder in the top of the cooler to put the rod but in and away he goes. Now that is a look of sheer determination. It is pure joy to watch the expressions on his face when he battles fish. Take young kids fishing. It does your soul good.
