A trip of wonders. Coming out of portage, but I’d hardly call this trip portage fishing- might as well have trailered. Went out to what I think was 175ft deep on the Michigan side of the lake. Can’t confirm completely because my fishfinder doesn’t work that deep. Who knew?

8/8 - started out in 110ft and kept trolling North with literally no fish until about 11am... thought it was a skunk in the making. We literally ended up 20/21. A ton of lakers and small silver fish so really could only keep a two man limit.

8/9 - wanted to try the Illinois side. Nothing. Ended up trolling back to the 8/8 spot (took forever) and got our limit.

Also got a mad sunburn. So here are the two biggest from both days.

How deep were the silvers? Most were between 80-120. We did get a few on a 300 copper. I probably should have added that trolling speeds were like 3-3.2mps. Not sure what depth that puts the 300 at.
