Program: Riggers down 66ft, 77ft, and 81ft down with spin doctor and fly in the center, and plugs on the out and downs. Wire divers back 145ft with spin doctor and 200ft with plugs. After the morning bite we switched to cut bait.

We have had great fishing all week. Criss Healey and friends wacked them hard and filled 2 coolers with King Salmon. Some of these guys were first timers. They learned quickly with the help of first mate Mike Darke. Check out this catch! We started on the bank in the 01s and fished to the point and back again. 140ft of water held lots of fish. Program: In the early morning we ran Glow Plugs and Spin Doctors with Flies. Later we switched to meat rigs. Fish were from 60ft to 85ft.

Limit catch was taken by these two Pro fishermen in record time. They have done a lot of fishing and it shows. Good Job! We are still fishing off the state park in 140 ft of water. The program remains the same.

We had a very interesting evening with this Russian family on vacation. Despite the language barrier we were still able to catch them a nice box of fish. They were amazed at the breathtaking scenery, clear fresh water and the size of Lake Michigan.

The fishing is really heating up. This is the best fishing so far this year. I have a saying, (Team work is what puts fish in the boat!) These guys were great to fish with. There catch tells it all. We had action, action, and more action, starting at 5:30am with the 3rd rod in the water. We started in the 02s and walked the bank north, in 100ft of water to the 05s. Mornings like this are what my mate and I live for.

Program: Down riggers, out and downs at 57ft and 61ft with plugs, center rigger with a meatless teaser down 80ft took lots of bites. High wires back 230ft with plugs, and low wires with spin doctors back 150ft were very productive. Core and ½ with plugs also took fish.
