vande Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Took the bass boat out and fished 630 -11. Started in 110’ about half mile north of the piers and worked out to 150 on a north west troll. Had one knock off on rigger down 85 in 135. Headed back in NE troll with another bump on the same rigger. Nobody home on either. Headed back south in 135 marking fish deep but couldn’t get the speed right, no fish hawk. Spun around and made same troll with success. Gave up on the king bite to keep the skunk out, which actually worked. All action on riggers, divers and long lines didn’t get touched. 1-1 mag chilly Willy down 110, small laker. 945 3-3 mtn dew laker taker behind chrome/chartreuse sd down 115, 2 nice Lakers between 10-1030 and a 14# king with the long lines already pulled right at 11. Lost a downrigger after the second laker. Pulley broke while retrieving the ball, thank god it wasn’t still 100’ down. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman 1

zgrinder on Fin Warrior Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Nice king! Sorry about the gear. Should be able to get the Canon parts to fix it. 1
vande Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 Life happens, but it was nice to see a fish fight it’s way back to the boat instead of get spun around by the rotator!Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

vande Posted July 28, 2021 Author Posted July 28, 2021 I learned that today… if I didnt like to spend money I would catch smaller fish I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
