A pal of mine, Joel, gave me a call during the week and asked if I could be his co-captain for a Salmon Unlimited event - Take a Vet fishing.
The plan was to pick up a couple of military vets from North Point at 9am. Joel and I did some prefishing from 5am - 830am. No dice. Worked variety of spoons and dodger fly combos anywhere from 80' - 155'. Trolled in every which way direction, not even a hit.
Picked up 2 vets from NP around 930ish after some breakfast and coffee with intentions of getting on some fish and showing the guys a good time. Well, the only thing biting was the flies. We got chewed up. No wind on Lake Michigan on a boat = Human Buffet for the flies. Not fun.
We got 9 rods out, mixed up our offerings. Had bait bouncing off the bottom. Worked the thermocline. Worked the surface. Nothing!
I think the guys had a good time either way getting out on a boat and hanging out. Joel gave them his number and told them to give him a call Late July during prime time offshore king fishing. Very noble of him.
Oh well..next time, right?
The rains definitely messed things up. We dodged trees and debris up to 3 miles into the lake!
