For the last 2 days Me,Schall53 our friend Bruce and a new guy Jay fished aboard The In The Box charter out of St, Joe Michigan with our good friend Captain Jarrod Hasse.
We were cursed with a full moon, tons of bait fish and fish with LOCK JAW.
We had great weather for fishing but they the fish weren't playing.
Yesterday we managed 8 and today we only got 5 both days were a combination of Lake Trout and Coho.
Today we started trolling before sunrise in 140 feet of water and trolled for 6 hours out to 240 feet of water without a single bite.
Then I remembered Jarrod's website says that he guarantees you will catch a fish or your trip is free and so we started teasing him that for the first time in his 8 year career as a charter captain he might have to bite the bullet and pay up.
Then lighting struck because about 10 mins later a big Lake Trout came aboard and Captain Jarrod turn around to us and proudly FLIPPED US 2 BIRDS.
Over the next hour we caught 4 more nice fish to end the day with 5 total.
Note: the black flies were horrendous and relentless, never seen them this bad.
Photo to follow.
