With hunting season fast approaching me,Schall53 his buddy Tom and my cousin Dave from Florida we all met in Ludington, Michigan for one more fishing trip this year.
Of course we fished with our good friend Captain Doug Strzynski aboard the "POLECAT", we left the dock at 6:00 am and headed 16 miles straight out of ludington.
Fishing was a bit slow but that's to be expected for this time of the year, the Lake Trout that were thick in July had moved on but good sized Steelhead and Kings were a great replacement.
We caught 10 fish while enjoying perfect weather and seas and the camaraderie of each others company.
I will post some photos and so will Schall53, enjoy.

It was cold enough for a snow mobile suit in the morning and shorts by afternoon.

The kings are running big this year, aren't they?

The Kings we caught were 2-3 year old fish, most of the big mature Kings have pushed up river to spawn and die. Local rumor has it that a 40 pound + King was caught recently in one of the streams. They did catch a couple high 30 pounders this summers during tournaments.
