Did a pre-fish in Lake Michigan out of Manistique last night before the start of a 3 day tourney yesterday. Lost one king and caught one. Not a real productive evening, but at least we found where the fish were for the openner today. This morning, we got out real early, by 5 am and had a fair day, with 2 kings and 6 steelhead, the largest was just over 15 lbs. WAter temps from 45 at the lure to 56 at the surface.
The largest catch of the day was 13 fish for a total weight of 123 lbs. The had the largest fish, but also the smallest.
Our largest king was caught on a cut bait rig with a green flasher at 75 feet below the surface.
The steeleys were all around 30 feet down and caught on bright color spoons.
Two more days of fishing and here is the outlook according to the lunar tables: http://tinyurl.com/preview.php?num=l92tnd
The weather will be cold and maybe some rain, but we'll give it a good try anyway.
