Tougher than it should be.

: A great start to the day.

: Patients pays off.

: Awsome job guys.

Well, storms kept us off the lake again on Monday. We were able to get them out Tuesday morning instead. Fishing was very slow. We started off the trip by hooking into a 24lb. King a only 15 min. into the trip. We caught the fish in 65 degree water ( she must have been lost ). It bit a stingray sized Mongoose on the wire with 270 ft. of string out. We then waited a very long time for the next bite. Slow to say the least. It must stop storming. It is really very simple. Inconsistent weather, inconsistent fishing. Oh well, we are dealt what God gives us right. It’s ok. It helps to build character. Wednesday, we started for Kings. Not being able to find them, we decided to try our luck for browns for the last part of the trip. It was the right move. We landed a bunch of great fish before…once again… we got chased in by lightening. The trout came in 104 fow off the five stacks ( ALCAN ). The Perch stingray Michigan, Blueberry Muffin and a Green chip with the Sweet pea fly all worked well.

Lots of storms.

: Salmon like this will be filling our coolers any day now. Can’t wait!

: We didn’t catch many fish today, but had a great time.

: Until the Salmon show up… we will just have to keep catching these big trout

: Thanx Gil. Once again, we had a great time fishing with you.

: Thanx Doug. We didn’t do as well as your trip in May, but we did catch some great fish, and had a great time.

Well, the fishing on Thursday, was very good. We stayed in for browns and did well with them. We also managed to catch a bonus 28 lb. King. Lots of bait and fish in the Catfish Creek area. Friday, we never left the dock. Severe lightening, that would’nt go away, kept us off the water all day. We got back out Saturday and it was very tough. We managed to land a few browns, but had to work really hard for them. Today, we fished hard all day, to land 8 browns. We had more that that on, but had the dropsies. We are fishing 115 – 125 fow right now. Deeper than we would like for trout, but we are catching some. Hope the Salmon show up soon.

Rough weather not a problem.

: Great job Betty. It was a pleasure fishing with you.

: Hard to tell from the photo, but it was so rough that we had the ladies sit on the cooler to fight the fish. Standing wasn’t an option.

The big waves, and I do mean big, weren’t a problem for Betty and her daughter on Wednesday. We went over just east of Nine Mile point and set up for browns. The blueberry muffin, glow alwive and perch Michigans all worked and we landed some nice fish. We were fishing down around 100 ft. Hope the wind stops soon. We are sick of getting beat up.

Stiff wind…again.

: Another beautiful Lake O brown.

: Nice job Bruce. Good luck with your new Yanmar.

: Ahhhh! Another happy customer.

Once again on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, the wind blew. We went up north again on Sunday only to get chased off before the end of our trip. We made up the time with them on Monday morning. The fishing was real good Sunday, but a little tougher the next day. On Monday, we weren’t able to go way north due to the wind direction. We went over to the Catfish area instead. The fishing was a little slower than the day before. The stinger Mongoose, glow Alwive and Lighthouse spoons worked well. 85-95 fow was the place to be in both spots.

A long ride, but worth it.

: These fish were a lot more aggressive today. They railed stuff off the riggers.

: Nice job Tod.

: Here is a great example of a big Lake O brown.

: Not only is he a great trout fisherman… he’s an Orange fan.

Well, we took the ride north to Stony in search of browns. We did find them, and what do you know, they bit. We had a great day today, landing 25 fish on three trips. 85-100 fow was the place to be. The hot lures were the Michigan Stinger Lighthouse, Perch and Glow Alwive. Wires were back 225 ft and 260 ft. The riggers 92-100 ft down. We got chased in a little early this afternoon due to wind, but we will be back up there tomorrow.

Tougher than it should be.

Lots of storms.
