Spent 5/6 hours on 6/15/12 fishing for Salmon on the Great Lake, after countless follies/mishaps (my fault) we did manage to bring in 7 Salmon/Trout during our excursion. Lost 6 Having a newbie 14-yo., for the first time on Lake Michigan, he had the honors of reeling most of the fish.
Total of 7 fish caught, lost 6 or 7 at the back of the boat, some of the Kings would make a run of 100yds., ya bring"em in, they see the boat & boom -GONE for another run.
4 fish cut & chunked for brine to be smoked & 3-filleted for that Fathers day grill. Yummy.
Never had to go beyond 70'.
