Summary of the last few days on the water and otherwise.

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

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 experienced fisherman who has fished ALL of the coastal states except Hawaii. He knows how to hook a fish and keep it hooked so he was coaching his partner Marshall who has very little, if any fishing experience. Without going into the details, we lost a few fish due to insufficiently tight lines (better known as slack), but it did not matter, as they got plenty to bring home and had a grand time on Lake Superior. We saw action on the planer boards, dypsies and downriggers, but NONE on the deep sea rod with a herring dodger and spin and glow… figure that one out! (we even tried 2 different size dodgers with different baits.)
Did not get an after picture with all the fish.

    Hey Brian how are you today? Yes, we had a wonderful time on your boat. We could not stop talking about the very very great time, great weather, great fishing. The fish stayed ice cold in the cooler. I got mine filleted today, (on Sunday Afternoon), I took two. The fresh fish store owner was excited and commented on how Pretty and Fresh the fish were. Also yes I had not been fishing since I was a little older than Stan. So Thanks for bringing back good memories, and busting the dust off. We traveled through the rain and got back to Detroit in about nine hours. What a wonderful time had by ALL. Tell Stan we said hello. We Should see you again in October… Thanks Again Marshall PS can you email my pictures.
