Anyone Fishing?
Re: Anyone Fishing?
When I was a kid on a family vacation, my dad had his fishing pole with lure on it between the seats and the door of the station wagon, so it would be ready to go when he got there. My older brother (about 10 yrs. old) got the hook in his hand, so we stopped and my dad used the pliers to work the barb on through so he could cut it off and get the hook out. Watching that made my stomach queasy, so they bought me a Coke . . nothing for my brother! Sometimes life ain't fair.

Went halibut fishing today. Of course the wife got her limit and was happy. Nothing big but we have 50-60 pounds of fresh fillets so that part is good. You southern boys will laugh at this but it was 72, sunny and no wind today. Pretty sure the top of my head is sunburned

Getting sunburned on a winter day happens.

Adam in his new-to-him boat finally got some blood in it. Mostly bait blood and me stabbing myself. He did nab his first shark of eh-size (would take a bit of finger if you let it).

Lake Superior Lake Trout
Sailed out of Taconite Harbor, never was more than a mile from the bay.
We got limits of trout and salmon and watched all the other boats go by us out in deeper water except one. Biting fish were tight to bottom 55-95 fow. Day and a half of work. It was a bit rough up until about this picture.
My oldest got pretty sick Friday, but did not puke.
Saturday, the winds were unexpectedly blowing back off a storm front from the south and some decent gusts and rollers, but less than Friday's nor'easter. About 11am, I told him I wanted to try for a reaction bite off the least windy spot on the island. The wind was changing from the west and blowin hard and the rollers were still coming from the south. Seas were 'confused' a bit.
I dropped a modified slab jig 68' to bottom which is a herring escape lure. The fish on the big lake are not too cooperative between 11-2 midday. Sometimes trigger bites work. The kid doubted me until I pulled up a 3# coho which is big enough to win a tournament there. The fish alarms were going crazy with lotsa fish in the area. I would have stayed, but Cal needed a potty break and I was a little weather beaten and wanted an hour at the dock.
This fish was probably 12-13# only. They get about twice that size, but I was only fishing 8# test and the fish dove several times; prolly not have landed one 6# more.
