Up-date on some recent fishing trips
Thursday, this week was too windy to fish, so spent the day in town and cut a couple cedars for my dock among other things. Friday I had planned to fish out of Eagle Harbor, but as I launched my boat, I noticed the wind pickign up out of the WSW. I decided to change […]

Eagle Harbor, Fishing the “scum line”

Catching more lake trout in Bete Grise in our favorite places
We got a later start today, casting off at 9 am with 3 good guys from MN that also chartered last summer. I think they are “hooked” on lake trout fishing, since that was what we caught last year and they wanted to go after the same this time. The day was just awesome, flat […]
