Launched from NB @ 4pm. with a crew of my nephew and his son. Ran out to the same area that I fished on Monday, and found active fish again. We ended up 9/13 with a mix of really big Coho and several Kings in the 6-12 lb. range. All of the Coho were huge and fat as footballs. My first time with a crew in my new to me boat, and I was able to run all 4 riggers, braid dipseys and a couple of copper rods. Everything seemed to work but we did have one epic tangle due to an unruly Coho. Everything took hits except the 100 copper. Riggers down 40 - 60ft , 200 copper, dipseys 85-110. Michigan Stinger spoons Stingray in UVNBK, UV Mongoose, Moonshine mag spoons Blue Jeans and UV Shelly Snack, and Spin Dr glow frog with my home made flies. Stayed in 80-95 ft. good water temps down @45-50 ft. and some bait as well. Almost all of our hits came on the east to west troll -  Fish hawk was showing a .5 mph speed change when we circled back, and no hits even when I adjusted speed so we just kept trolling west
  It was a first time out on the big lake for my nephew's son. He is an avid basser, and had a great time. Kept him on the rods and he handled it like a champ - nothing better than watching someone catch their biggest fish ever. The 13 mile boat ride back in the dark was a new experience for him too but no complaints.
