TOPIC:

No one at the marina this morning except me. No wet tracks ahead of me. No voices on the radio. So where to go?

I hadn't heard anything good over west for a while. Or east. So I went north, set down just on the Michigan side (there you go IL with your $17 - licenses. Stopped at 91 feet of water and trolled a 10 degree heading on out.

It took me 1 1/2 hours to set rods (10 spread) - partially due to age and senility, mostly due to fishus interruptus. Not a really horrible disease to have.

Once all rods set, I turned back south - erly and that killed the bite for a while. Then the silvers showed up. First a steel, then an 'ho, then a king, big honker on a Spinnie/meathead.

"I think I have him under control, now" says my customer.

"What's the line counter read on the reel?"

"231 feet"

"You started at 148," I said. "Keep cranking."

More silver to complete the day and a double six-packer wouldn't contain the filets.

BEST OF ALL - Slick lake, no flies and no fleas - hoo-wah!

Nice job Mike I almost was there just couldn't get a crew together

Thanks for the report Mike.
