With a long boat ride ahead of us this morning, we headed north out of Cleveland in the dark. By first light we were dropping gear at around 15 miles and 65ft of water. We typically target walleyes but with everyone’s freezers packed from another great spring we decided we’d have a little fun and go after some steelhead. We netted five and lost another three plus another half dozen eyes, one of which was because of a double with a really nice 26” eye on a slider. This was the first time I’ve gone for this species of fish but definitely will not be the last. What a fun trip with good friends enjoying some public waters.

Looks like a blast!

We fished Lake Michigan over the weekend and the steelhead were thick. Some big kings, too. Catching those fish is just plain fun.

We were supposed to head to Michigan in two weeks for kings but they started shutting the state down again.

Thats too bad. We are just a few yahoos from MN that barely know what we are doing, and fishing was insane. 4 of us fished 2 days and got 37 fish that we kept. Monday morning we had 20 in the boat by 10:00 and , while we were fighting the last fish for our limit, two more hit. If you can, make the trip. It’s worth it. We ended up with 151 pounds of packaged fillets.
