Fishing on Wednesday in Bete Grise

Retired New York City Detective Wayne and lovely wife Barb came up from Tennessee to fish with me on Lake Superior. WE went for lake trout on the bottom with down riggers and put out a few surface lines and dypsy divers for Coho and Steelhead. Just got lakers, but a pretty good day after a slow start. We started in 120 to 160 feet in the same area I fished last, where I picked up a couple in a short time on my last outing, but could not hook a fish there.
WE then went to deeper water, caught 7 and missed a couple besides some false releases on the DR’s. Green was again the order of the day, mostly because that’s what we threw at them.
The last 2 fish were caught by jigging with kapuu’s. Pretty good for 2 rookies on hand lines!

Surface water was running around 49 degrees, but did not have my probe running for the deep water temp. Mostly trolled at 1.9 mph, but a little faster at times. The slower speed is more productive for lakers. All were on the bottom, but saw some suspended fish.
Going to Schlatters this weekend
