Fly n Fish

Left the bay around 7 with my dad. Been out of town for the last 3 weeks so going in blind I had low expectations. But it turned out to be a decent day. Started in 120 and trolled out to 420 and found some active fish. 74 to 115 down on rigger and dipseys 200 and 220 on the wire. Spoons and cut bait every rod took a fish. Ended up 4 steelies and 2 kings with five misses. Eric

East wind sucks Back at again today, water east was cold headed west 50 deg water between the bay and the genny. Worked that water all morning boated 1 small brown then moved out to the temp break about 60' and tagged a nice 18lb king. That made the day, he hit a meat rig 44' down and then jumped 3ft in the air. After that lots if fish on the graph but could not find a program to get them going. Back to work for the next ten days.

Left the bay at 0700 trolled east in 8-20ft of water and before 0930 we had 10 fish a mix of browns and kings. Boated 4 kings 2 between 12-16 lbs. At one point we had a double both of them screaming out line to 300+ on the surface but both broke off. I was rigged with 12lb leaders for browns and was not expecting kings. At 9:30 the bite shut off and we scraped out 3 more browns, a laker and one steelie. It was interesting as soon as the wind blew out of the east is when the bite stopped. 80% of the fish came on a $1.99 Rebel (Fire Tiger), I had 3 of them now I am down to one after we lost that double.

I'v never tried but it should work as long as you find a decent school of them.

Tough day for us, started out running the shore line to hedges, water looked perfect but only 1 brown about 9lbs. Moved out worked the edge of the green water boated a court couple lakers. Moved into 60ft and headed back toward the bay and boated a 17.2lb laker. That made the day. Water condition looked great just not many fish around. Eric

Big mistake went infront of the river with the pack nothing. Move back over 30ft water east of I-bay 22' rigger fires 18lb king. (Mich stinger blue Dolphins)10 min later outrigger fires 12lb brown (fire tiger bay rat). Wanted to stay but had to pull the boat end of season for me. At least it ended on a good note.

It's time we draft a from letter to all the local congressmen/senators and government officials. I can post it on this site and each individual can print sign and mail. I would just need some decent factual info, on the effects to the local economy ect..

Got 1 mature yesterday 150ft, 35ft down 60ft back on a yeck frog off of webster. There was a very strong current.

2015 Annual Aug trip: Fished out of I-Bay Friday – Monday with my Dad, Unlce and Cousin Friday: headed out to Scotch Bonnet, dropped the first rigger down 20 sec later a 10lb king, put right back and again 10lb king (Both came on meat). Then it was a slow go picked up a couple steelies by noon we decided to make a move. We went in front of Braddock’s in 500ft and picked a few more small kings. Sat-Monday: Fished east of I-bay, spent the mornings with mainly a brown trout program and it worked out with 2 X LOC placed fish(Currently 3rd and 11th). It was not hot and heavy but all quality fish. It was tough to get the right program dialed in because of the Biomass of baitfish! Blotting out the screen multiple times. Lots of fish on bait but with the all that bait and full moon it made for tough fishing. We only boated 3 mature kings (1 per day). We fished from 70ft -250ft. The browns all came in M-Stingers, and Spin Docs. All the kings came on Spin Docs. All and all very slow fishing for August, I hope the kings move in by next weekend. Good luck out there. Eric

Great to see that! That boat has been to the bonnet before.

Started east of the bay in 70ft good screen just not hungry. Proceeded east past hedges and worked out to 150ft. Then the left rigger fires 8lb brown 84 down on a chartruse slim silver streak. Went another 1/2 mile then turned around and middle rigger fires 22lb king 94 down on Carbon 14. 10 Minuets later left rigger again 6lb atlantic. Kept the west troll boated 6 lake trout and call it a day. Took the new boat to me out today after a new engine and 45 days of work on in it (Still working on it) the "Fly-n-Fish" is ready for the Big O. She is a 24' Osprey Expedition pilot house.

We were out there to and boated 3 kings and dropped 3 others. Good water and lots of fish streaking through the riggers. It was all about the Downriggers for us purple NK 28 with yellow dots 30, 51 and one on the slider. What a perfect nite. Eric

Yes still for sale

Probably a state record that we cut before realizing what I had.....
