Lake Trout fishing with hering dodgers and spin and glows plus spoons.

Fished yesterday in Bete Grise with same party as 2 days previous. They had booked 2 trips since they wanted to do a lot of fishing while here in the Copper country. I didn’t get a “total catch” photo with my camera, but we got 10 fish with the largest ones 4 to 4.5 lbs. […]

Evening fishing deep for Lake Trout straight south of Copper Harbor

Sunday evening we left the dock at 4:15 pm and went straight out to deep water to troll for lakers, since we had tried close to the irons in the morning with no success with Wally and Terry. The coho just don’t seem to be here yet. For the evening, I had recovery nurse Doreen, […]

Another good day for Lake Trout on the water, but no Coho or Steelhead yet

Wally and I fished with athlete and MTU grad Carl and his OR nurse mom and engineer dad from MN this morning, starting early and back around lunch time. I’m almost falling asleep here typing this at 9:15 pm after so little sleep the past 2 or three nights. (I’ll sleep in tomorrow to catchup) […]

Fishing for Lake Trout in Bete Grise

Yesterday I took out 3, a dad Art and his 2 teenage boys on Lake Superior for some lake trout fishing. Stannard Rock was on our minds, and we considered it, but I did not have enough fuel in the tanks to comfortably make the trip. Had Calvin along as the first mate and we […]

Trolling slow and shallow in Bete Grise for Lake Trout and Coho Salmon

Friday morning, Calvin and I got up at 6.30 to push off with a party of 5 on the Fishin’ Mission at 8 am. The plan was to set lines near the irons and troll in shallow water for a short time before heading out to the Bear Bluff area. The forecast was calling for […]

Lac La Belle Fishing for Crappie, Pike, Small Mouth Bass and Perch

Yesterday, my boys and I did a little pre-fishing on Lac La Belle and caught a few crappie, several perch and a couple rock bass. Bugs (no-seums) were bad and Bruce, my 6 year old was getting eaten up bad so we went back to the cottage early. Cooked up one of the crappie for […]

Trolling for Lake Trout in Bete Grise and fishing in Lac La Belle

The day after the Stannard Rock trip, Calvin and I fished in Lac La Belle for an hour or so. He caught a rock bass, but not too much happening. Thursday, we fished with the same 3 guys that chartered to Stannard Rock just 2 days before. I thought the fishing was going to be […]

Stannard Rock and other Lake Superior Fishing

I’m a little behind on posts, since it’s been so busy with various things, mostly fun! Spent last weekend with the boys at Schlatters Lake in the remote, “out of cell range Keweenaw Peninsula”, so anyone who tried to call me did not get an answer until I got back on Sunday. Actually came back […]

Trolling Bete Grise for Lake Trout, June 4th

Norm and I got up early on Saturday, at 4:30 am, to head out to Bete Grise. I kwew that there was a fishing tournament going on in Lac La Belle that day, so I wondered if we would be affected by other boaters launching at the same time. We arrived at the launch at […]

Up-Date on Memorial Weekend Fishing Lac La Belle and Lake Superior

We did several fishing trips in the last few days, both inland on Lac La Belle and on the Big Lake while staying at the “Camp.” I fished Saturday evening for a couple hours by myself on Bete Grise with no luck. I tried to get my boys and bro-in-law to come, but they were […]
