Talk with ya when we arrive Wednesday or Thursday Coho! Thanks buddy and tear them up!
Monday started in the afternoon. Made the mistake of going around Kelly’s to the west. Picked up an eater on Slims gold digger. Then nothing……………………….. after moving several times, we made it to the pack on the east side of Kelly’s and picked up a fat 26”. That was it.
Tuesday-nadda worked rattlesnake and south. Picked up mid day and went to Huron. Chocolate milk everywhere. Guy I talked to said Vermillion was the same. Decided to pick up my small mouth from last year and called it around 3.
Wednesday did not fish.
Thursday goose egg.
Friday launched at Vermillion and got 7 in 48. Missed 2. 1 eye and a steelhead that destroyed 1/2 of my set. The 7 we got were all quality fish roping out at 26-1/2. Zero pattern except 1.5 seemed better…
Better day today. Still no pattern but we managed 11. Humble bee, chrome paradise & illusion caught a few along with an orange fire tiger, chartreuse and a couple other bright colors. Switched up a lot. Probably rand 40 different lures or more today. Everything we caught was 42-48 fow no more than 60 back just west of Vermilion. My buddy in another boat caught his deeper. Stayed just on the dirty side of the clean water line.
Thanks Coho. it sounds like your persistence finally dialed them in. Way to go sticking to it.
Went to Huron again today and ended with 14. 1.1 on hawk was key along with turning but they came on both the inside and out so it was all just dumb luck. We again stayed just inside the dirty water and washed about every lure in the box. Buddy went to check out the islands this evening and I hoping they find something. Happy Easter.
Started by Kelly’s and picked up 4 then nothing till 11 so we picked up and went back to Huron and ground out 16 more to make 20. UV purple perch 30-40 back killed. Not sure if the maker or real name. I won them in a raffle.
Thank you for your help while I was out there Coho. It was tough. Nice work figuring it all out!
I problem Don.
Tuesday found a pocket east of Huron and it went crazy with 24-26” fish. Only pattern was 1.1 on the hawk and under 60 on leads. At one point we had 7 fish on our 8 rod spread. Ended up having to toss 5 back. Once we got our limit, about half was back I overheated. Altinator bracket broke. Late night but we got it fixed thanks to the Northwood location of my company.
Wednesday the chit show was on. I could do anything right in the morning. By the time my buddy had 14. I had 2. Finally pull my head out and managed 15 before the waves picked up.
All in all, 2023 trip was not as bounty as the last year but we made it happen. Had a lot of fun. A lot of challenges but we did good. Still no 30”er for me but that will come.
Juls, I’m sorry we couldn’t hook up to give you some goodies. There’s always next year.
Thanks and ho get them, there turning on now!
Coho,
Hurry back soon my friend.
