Fishing Day 1 of 2 with Bill and Stan... June 18, 2023

[Capt Juls]

I'm just copy/pasting my Facebook post here, because I'm headed to bed and have run out of time. lol


Better today…whew! But, I did have to pull out the crawler harnesses and slow it down. We caught 13, and lost 4 good ones. No shorts today at all….not a one…

No time for a report….didn’t go to Huron….went north of Kelly’s…the bugs were bad out there, so the boat needed some serious cleaning.


Harnesses with #6 Colorado blades…2oz inlines…35, 40, 50, and 60 back.
3oz inlines at 25, 40, 50, and 70 back.


Speed was 1.7 on the Fish Hawk…1.9-2.0 GPS on a WNW trolling pass.
38-40’ of water.


The photo of the bug spray was so I could share it with all of you. I tried it for the first time today, and was super impressed with its ability to actually work! I was getting bit by black flies, and I remembered I had this stuff in my glove box. I tried it and I didn't get one more bite all morning. It smells good too. I have already ordered more (found it on Amazon).


Same crew tomorrow….so, they are already trained…yay!

Unless you have good intel, Huron did not produce much for me over the weekend. I guess the only upside is not a whole lot of bugs.

Thanks for the heads up on the bug repellant!!!!!!!

What was the best inline weight/lead combination, if you don't mind me asking?

Hopefully an early bird like you will beat tomorrows afternoon winds.
