<t>Set lines about 3:30 PM as soon as I cleared the harbor. Headed SW towards Michigan City. Flat lake- set out 2 flatline rods and a rigger down 18 ft. with dodger/ fly combo and free slider spoon. Caught a nice Coho on the slider in about 30 feet of water on the slider. Next came a Laker @10 lbs ...

<t>Squeezed an afternoon trip out while the weather “calmed down” today and it was well worth it. 9/10 with 2 kings, 6 cohos, and a laker. Big king was about 9-10 lbs but was screaming and jumping with the best of them. Everything was hitting from spoons, baby spin doctors, and body baits on dipsies ...

<t>Finally made my first run up to fish Thursday and Friday. Came up with 2 new first timers, a friend and his 21 year old grandson. We stated late Thursday morning east of the donut went towards the pavilion area. We went 1 for 4 there taking a nice laker on a 8 color setup on a custom made green ...

<t>Made way to the #4 and with my wife and son set lines in 50 fow about 330 pm on Saturday. Trolled east to the doughnut and turned back in 55 fow pretty much washing lures and buring gas all the while wondering if my wife is questioning my abilities as a fisherman. Marked bait here and there but ...

<t>Two of us on Sunday. We will call it a success for first time out. 8:30 - 3:00. Right out of front in 45’ big bait ball. Started there and trolled west. Beautiful flat water. Started in 45’ and went west for about 4 miles. Mark’s and bait. Nothing. Turned north, at 52’ the 150 wire with pearl ...

<t>FINALLY had the first trip after developing a nervous tick from seeing all the coho pics early in the Spring. Boat was getting a repower and finally got it back. Reports on Saturday were not great but decided to head north to 65' and keep going towards 3 corners. Of course 65' of water goes on ...

<t>Got a call from another charter who ignored the rule "don't leave fish to find fish" who had spectacular fishing earlier in the week along the State Line. Instead he went basically due North from EC past the line and the wreck and fished the 23 line starting a 11/2 miles into IL. Luckily, my guys ...

<t>Got out today & started at the Stateline around the 10's. Headed east staying along the line. Caught fish right away. I had 4 in the box before I could get me 3rd rod in the water. Dipsey's were the hottest. Set on a 2 & out 60 with a large RED dodger & agua fly, both sides of the boat. Three of ...
