270 out of the harbor set up in the 50's in 75 fow on a west troll around 6:30am. Very tough to get get all lines in the water. Hit a large steelie almost immediately on a slider spoon down 47' on DR. Then the other slider down 40' down hit and missed. Next the diver out 110' with a spoon goes with a nice coho. Next main spoon on DR down 54 another Coho. It was about 8:30 before we got all 9 rods set. The bite died off after the morning flurry and we picked away at them until another 4-5 fish flurry in 105 fow in the 56's around 11:30. Quit around noon, ended 13 for 16 with, 2 steelhead 7 coho and 4 lakers. All fish came between 25 and 55 feet down with every rod getting hit except the 300 copper. No stand out set ups. 2.7 to 3.2 sog seemed best for us today.

It's better to ask forgiveness than for permission.

Nice job! How far out is 105' from the harbor? Have a 17' Lund with 110 hp Yamaha and a kicker. I know deep water is closer in Michigan.

It's about 6-7 miles out of the harbor if you take a 320 to 330 heading by my estimates. I was fishing a little more west of that though, probably 8 miles from the harbor.

st joe to compare to other ports is 3.5 to 4.5 miles depending on heading to that 70 foot range and 10 miles to 200 fow at a 270 heading.
