Yesterday, some fishermen came from the Lansing area (and brother from Texas) for the 2nd time in 2 years to do a little trolling on Lake Superior. I woke up my deck hand, Andy, at 6 am after having my own coffee and breakfast ( I thought I’d let him sleep as long as possible […]

We’ve had a lot of wind lately, so it’s been tough to fish the big lake, but I got out a few times lately to wet some lines. On Saturday we had a graduation party for Julia, so I couldn’t fish until Sunday morning. We had about 8 boys sleeping at the cottage and some […]

A couple days ago, I took 4 guys and a girl from Northern Minnesota out for some trolling on Lake Superior for Lake Trout, but instead they caught 3 Splake Trout in Copper Harbor. No size to them, so we tossed 2 of the 3 back. Didn’t get any pictures, so I inserted one of […]

Thanks to those who have purchased my Finn Action Lures at the Marquette Sport show recently. I discovered that my test tank water speed was not in calibration. The speed was actually slower than I previously measured with my speed probe… My speed probe was about 1/2 mile per hour off, which means many of […]

As of Sunday night, I had a plan to be at work (Designotype) for part of the day, then run some errands in Houghton, but somewhere around bed-time, Roger and his buddies brought up the fishing subject. They suggested that I let them use the “Helm-n-Buoys” to fish at Big Traverse, but I thought it’d […]

Today, as I was winterizing the “Fishin Mission”, it so nice out that I just HAD to get out on the water. I had not fished for 4 days and the fever was running high, especially since I caught more than a limit last time out. (much to a certain bro-in-law’s chagrin, I tossed 2 […]

Time sure flies when you’re having fish…going fishin’, er having fun, sorry for the typos,my fingers just go that way. Can’t believe, or accept the fact that it’s past-time to put the boats away. Most sane people have done that long ago, I guess that make me IN-sane. Truth be known, I would have my […]

I fished five days in a row now and plan to be out there again tomorrow morning, weather permitting. Fishing has been on the slow side since we had the wind last week. (and off and on wind over the last few days.) I can’t complain, though…. Even a slow day of fishing is a […]

Calvin caught this 15 lb lake trout this morning on one of my “spots” in 135 feet of water on a pink lure on a slider line. We were doing some experimenting with different lures and set-ups. Just wish we had more time to fish. We got out at 8 am, but had to be […]

Thursday we got a later than usual start with some Detroit guys that called me recently. Retired U.S. Navy submarine man Lewis and High School IT computer guy Marshall had a good day on the water as we came in with 6 fish, one of which was a nice steelhead. Submarine man, Lewis, is an […]
