One of the few time that the sun came out on Wed., in between thunderstorms.
Lets just say the weather has stunk lately. Every wind forecast has been wrong, and thunderstorms have either come earlier of later than they were supposed to. Monday was slow with a few fish being caught on each boat. We would have done much better if we weren’t fighting 5-7 ft. waves. Not fun! The high wind we got on Monday, wrecked the fishing for Tuesday. The Brown Trout that we had been fishing for in 80 fow moved out to 140 fow and wouldn’t bite. Our search for Salmon was unsuccessful also. Wednesday, Thank goodness, the trout moved back in to 95 fow. Still deep, but fishable. When Brown Trout move out beyond 110 fow, they become a different animal. They become very hard to catch. Wednesday and Thursday, the fishing improved with Scott and his son Kyle, from San Diego, landing their 2 day limit of browns.

He makes the others look small. They’re not.
Well, we couldn’t get out for our afternoon trip on Sunday due to approaching thunderstorms, so we took our party out on Monday morning instead. It was a good move. The fishing was good, not great, but we did have one of the highlights of our season. They landed 8 brown’s, one of which was a real monster. 60-70 ft. of water east of Catfish Creek is where it is at. The best spoons have been Ice Frog Michigan’s and the YNBK.

Thank you for all the good times bud.
This isn’t a fishing report, it is a way for me to let everyone know, that my good friend, Jerry Babcock, lost his ten year battle with illness. I met Jerry, and started taking him fishing, 17 yrs. ago. Jerry changed a lot in the last 10 yrs. as a result of his physical problems, but some things stayed the same. His love for family, friends and fishing stayed strong. Anyone who knew him, would say that Jerry was the most determined man that they had ever known. He fought to stay alive, so he could spend more time with those he loved. He also stayed alive to see one more Yankee game, shoot one more deer and catch one more fish, even though medically, we should have lost him years ago. I will miss the daily phone calls or dock visits that he would make to see how the fish were biting. Jerry was a true example of strength and determination. I hope that those who knew him, learned from him. I know I did. Save a spot on the back of the boat for me Jerry would ya?
