A Fishing Trip Aboard The Flying R

 

They are in Lake Michigan along with awesome Kings and rainbows.
On the water at 5:00 am, lines in at 5:30am.
Perfect morning no the water.  Flat calm.  Final talley, 13 fish to 15 pounds (no actual weight taken so don’t quote me.). 9 cohos, 2 rainbows, 2 kings.

 Nice hard fighting fish to say the least.View of Port Washington from our hotel.  2 minute walk to the boat.  Imagine that!

Heading out to the Lake  5:00 AM

Sunrise on a flat calm day on Lake Michigan.  Note, Lake is 300 miles long and 140  miles wide!

Hook up!

8-10m pound Ranbow.  Great fight!

My first fish.  I thought we were fishing for cohos.  Grabbed the rod, Jesus, it might be a tuna!  No, just a quality King.  (Ain’t no nookie like a chinokie!)

Final results:

Brad and his Dad with some quality table fare:

Our boat.  Think we had enough rods?  We were each allowed to fish 3 rods!  As such, we had 12 rods working at all times!  4 downriggers and 8 side planers.  Had the poetential of being a major cluster.

My best two:

All in all, a GREAT day.  Off the water at 10:00 AM.
Port Washington may be the future home of Krusty Wink   You never know.  Could be worst places to hang out!
