Went 7-8 including a 10# and 17# king. The balance were lake trout. Turned one undersized laker back.  Fished straight out to south towards the power plant in 90’-120’. Both kings and a nice laker came in 95’. Did pick up a couple Lakers trolling on the way in between 85’-65’.   Down riggers, 5 color, 10 color and 300 Cu all took fish. 200 Cu never fired. 10 color and 300 Cu were best. All spoons. Started with the usual suspects and a mix of colors, but quickly switched over to a few more of my doctored up spoons after they kept firing. I can’t tell you the spoon names because they are custom. I just look for spoons that have some of that blue/purple UV tape on them and mark them up with my pink paint pen.  I started my new love affair with pink and purple spoons for salmon after having great luck with pink and purple small size spoons for Walleye. The spoons shown took all the fish except the bloody nose on the right that took a laker on 1/2 core on the way in.

2050 Crestliner Commander. That’s exactly why I got the boat. It’s a great multi species boat and very trailerable. Works good on inland lakes and the Great Lakes. Besides our usual Lake Michigan salmon adventures, I usually (in normal times) Make several trips over to Lake Erie to chase walleye. We even took it up to Mullett Lake for a week last year and included one day where we trolled from Cheboygan to Mackinaw Island for kings. Here are a couple more photos if you are interested or thinking about one. It actually has more room for fishing than my old boat (shown) that I also loved, but was a one trick pony for the big lake.
