Finally made it back out after working a short call job with a lot of o.t. Set lines at 6am with making the mistake of starting in 70foot of water(fow) heading back in with the waves. Saw the charter captains pull up in 50 fow and start setting lines themselves did see alot of balls of bait from 50-55foot. But I was on a solo mission an had to set lines going with the three foot swells which were coming out of the west heading back to shore. So after getting all lines set I got back on track with my east to west troll and got my first fish at 70fow on full core w/monkey puke spoon. Second fish was on dipsy set on three w/green spin doctor an homemade green fly back 93ft. Third fish was on down rigger with moonshine Mongolian beef spoon set at 66ft. Four fish was on full core monkey puke and fifth fish was on down rigger with Mongolian beef down 40ft. Had another good fish on the dipsy rod but it came off. Ended up going 5/6 with four nice KING'S and one steel head from 70-102fow. Didn't get any pic's but on the disposal camera. But it did feel good to be back on the water again. Did make it out of Michigan City one night after work and only caught one sheep's head(drum) no salmon or trout. Right now I'm trying to plan my first trip up to Ludington,MI.,I will take the digital camera for that one.

How much longer will the salmon fishing still be good?
Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
