Had a fantastic day yesterday for leg two of @lakemichiganangler Big Pond Brawl. Nate, Brogun and I started off where I ended pre fishing seeing the waves stopped any idea I had to run to Milwaukee. It only took two rods in to connect with a 5lb king. In the next 45mins we ended up going 5-5 on kings ranging from 3 to 8lbs. After that bite died off we yanked rods and ran to the lake trout grounds where it only took 2mins after setting the first rigger to connect with a 12lb trout. We then proceeded to lay waste to twin 12.8lbers, twin 11’s, twin 10’s and shook twin 8’s off behind the boat. After hitting our tournament limit of lakers, we put a king spread again. At 12:05 a hot 12.5lb king smoked my 10cl leadcore. After clearing all the rods and watching the clock, I put the boat in reverse and chased it down knowing we would be cutting it close to being back in. Once in the net it was off to the races back to the harbor. We finished 4th place with 54lbs and got some excellent series points. Now time for trips and gear up for Salmon a Rama.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend and remembered the sacrifices made. I was extremely busy with trips. Sunday numbers went as follows morning- 10-15, mid morning 10-14, afternoon 9-12, Monday morning 15-23. Fidhing remains absolutely stellar and its the perfect time to get your freezer filled with delicious coho salmon!

With high winds and nautical seas, fishable days have been few and far between but the days i can get out, fishing has been solid with cohos being the main species but there is starting to bd a mixed bag bite with steelhead, kings and lakers mixing in.

The last couple weeks have been nothing short of stellar when thd wind allows it. Limits of cohos with a couple kings being mixed in. With not having to make a long run offshore, this is the perfect time to get your son or daughter out for fast paced fishing!
