What a Beautiful morning to be out on Lake Michigan! Not only did I get to see a great sunrise but I was blessed with this mighty King Salmon that put up a great fight! Just shy of 20lbs.![]()
Fished by the Herring hole out of Frankfort. Water temp flipped. 54 degrees 75 feet of water. On green glow plug. ![]()
Went 1 for 3. Not sure why the other 2 didn’t hook up as the rod got slammed and started stripping line n by time i could grab pole they were gone?? Usually once they hit a plug they hook up?![]()
What a great morning to be alive and enjoying God’s Blessings!
Went fishing today out of Frankfort. I got 3 small kings which wasn’t too bad considering i only use 2 copper line poles. I got 2 trolling and I decided to spot jig (which is I cruise slowly around and once I mark one I spot lock with trolling motor and drop down n jig) and I caught the 3rd one jigging. ![]()
Cooked one of them on the fire tonight and it was delicious! 😋![]()
I was in 90-120 feet and 300 feet of copper gets me 60 feet down.
The one jigging I was in 95 feet and he was only 30 feet down in a small school. ![]()
Tight lines- Capt Brian
What a beautiful morning to be out on Lake Michigan after some spring Salmon. I never did it before.
I used my copper line and held the pole so that I could feel the bite as I don’t like trolling using down riggers or planer boards as you don’t feel the whack and just fight the boat. I love doing it my way. ![]()
Once I hooked one I slowed the boat way down and just got to fight pure fish!! ![]()
I only fished 80 minutes this a.m. and I was blessed with not 1 but 2 salmon!!!
1- 14lb king and a beautiful tender coho!
Because I don’t use all that trolling gear my odds are low of catching anything so i was just hoping for 1 fish but I got 2 to make my day and I called it quits after I netted the last one to end on a good note.
I was out around 160 feet deep and fished 60 feet down and I was blessed with these spring salmon!
God is good!! 😇
