Ran out of Huron Sat 11/9. Got a little later start than usual, but were cruising out the River by 10:55AM and the big rollers from the NE wind kept the speed down headed out. We ran about 6 miles out to the NE and had the lines in water soakin by 11:45 on a westerly troll. Between the rollers from one direction and the wind from another there was a little bit of a washing machine effect and the sea legs took a minute to kick in.

For most of the time we targeted 41-43 FOW. Good marks most of the day. We ran 50 jets off the corners with spoons and off shore boards pulling a variety of cranks. Targeted speed was 2.5 but were somewhere between 2.4-2.8 with the surge from waves. Water clarity was awesome and the surface temp was 59.4.

Got our 2 man in 3.5 hours so it wasn't a firedrill. We caught 15 on spoons (1 got off and 4 shorts). 1 on unassisted Bandit at 80 and 1 on 50/80 Reaper 2 oz assist. We also had 4 white bass wanna check out the boat before release. Had 3 16" fish and nothing over 22". All fish were fat and healthy but nothing big.


Good luck out there!
