East Grand Traverse Bay Elk Rapids 6/27/2014

[Whoopee Tyee]

Morning trip on East Grand Traverse Bay from Elk Rapids

Fished from 7:30 to 10:00 in 40 FOW on the East Side of the bay North of Elk Rapids. Caught 14 lake Trout with 8 being undersized and returned. Fished with only 2 wire dipseys 50 feet out and a 2 & 3 color lead core on planer boards. Difficult to keep all four lines in the water with so many strikes. Fished all spoons in various designs. Best was the Yeck Super UV Glow Lightning which had half of all strikes and next best was the Moonshine RV Flounder Pounder. The Dreamweaver Leopard Frog and Stinger Stingray Fat Nancy caught fish too but fewer.

Note that there are nets two to three miles North of the port so watch out for the flags on the East and west ends of the nets in 30 to 50 FOW.
