Pentwater 8/8 PM, 4 for 5

[Mega Byte]

We took our 3 youngest foster children out for a trip as the waves weren't bad at all.  We ended 4 for 5 with the one we missed being a mechanical setup issue.  Either the wire diver drag was too loose or the release pressure on the dipsy diver was was too strong, or a little of both.  But we had a nice hit on that and fought a fish for a while, but it came off and the dipsy never released.  We fished 95 - 150 fow with 115 - 125 being best.

250 Cu  Blue Haze paddle & Meat rig - King
300 Cu Glow J Plug with a blue top and ladder back - King
Wire Diver Setup, Magnum dipsy diver on 1.5 set back 140', spotted dick meat rig (Miss)
Braid High Diver Setup, #1 sized dipsy diver on a 3 set back 130, glow J plug with a blue ladder back - King
Wire Diver, Magnum dipsy diver on a 1.5 set back 155, blue spin doctor and a meet rig - Steelhead 

The steelhead was caught in 107 fow and the kings all between 115 and 125.

The kings were a little smaller than our last trips and our youngest boy flipped the scale to measure in kilograms and could figure how to reset it.  But based on the eye test they were 17#, 12# and 10# with the steelhead being 5#.  Troll direction didn't seems to matter, but we did need more RPM when trolling north to keep the ball around 2.5 mph.  We tried to keep it at 2.2 - 2.5 mph at the ball.  No rigger hits.  I run 45# copper lines.
