I launched North out of Portage for a solo trip. I setup at 53 FOW and started trolling East/Northeast at 5am. No marks, but had a hit at 6:30 in 58 FOW on a rigger with a J-plug down 47. It took out about 50 feet of line, but turned out to be a 15 lb Drum.

I kept trolling to 61 FOW with no action. I then decided to turn towards shore and head towards #4 with a SW troll. I picked up a 7lb King on the same J-plug in 54 FOW NE of the Donut. I decided to circle back to that location. While changing from spoon on the other rigger to J-plug, my 200 copper setup (Mag Atomic Melon) started screaming. As soon as I started reeling, I could see the King jumping out of the water. After a great fight, I landed a 14lb King. When I pulled lines, I had a small king on that I released. I don’t know how long that little guy was on. I ended up 4 for 4 including the drum, so not a bad day considering the ruff waters.
