dfolker4 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Everything started well, got the first downrigger set around 5:30, a white spin doctor with a white glow fly down 88 and it went off before the second one was down, turned out to be a 19 1/2 pounder which fought like crazy, glad the spread wasn't out. Then 20 min later it went off again and we caught a little king around 6 or 7 lbs. Had several more releases as it got lighter then we caught a laker that was over the limit. Then our luck changed, we were outside most of the boats but some guy in a trophy swerved out and ran over and hooked my lead core and ripped it off. Then we had a screamer break off my braid dipsey. Then the same thing happened just before we left. I haven't lost anything all year but I made up for it yesterday. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoopee Tyee Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sounds like good fishing Dave. It's good to hear that the fish are there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfolker4 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ken-We hooked the first one as soon as we reached over a 100 ft which in Charlevoix is about a two minute ride, the difference between 100 and 250 feet is usually less than 1/8 mile so I usually zig-zag between 100 and 200 and catch fish on the turns a lot. Alan, it was as good as I've seen it up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
