Anybody fishing in Lake Michigan?

Good Morn' All,

I was just curious if anybody was fishing in Lake Michigan? I almost got out there if it weren't for the engines dying. Soon . It seems that the boats by me aren't catching a ton. They go out to ~100' deep and are pulling the fish from off the bottom trolling.

When I fish, I catch tires, cans, and miscellaneous junk. I am about as far from a fisherman as one can get!

Luckily, I have a neighbor that fishes and occasionally brings over a freshly fileted Rainbow, my favorite!

That works too. Not as much fun as catching your own. Our best trip of the year is sturgeon fishing. We usually spend a week. Last year we tried to go to Marinette and the water was so low, there was dry ground at the bottom of the dock. We had to go inland.

I am hoping this is the 1st of many

Have a great dinner! Boat running better now?

I am a step closer for sure. The starboard engine started right up. The first time since I bought it. I usually have to pour gas in the carb. It was either a sticking anti-siphon valve of the leaking fuel filter. Both are new so who knows.

The smoking engine, didn't get to test it. I had 23 people on the boat and none of them wanted to go too far out so I just idled it out and back. Ran great.
