Another Blessing of the Bike Weekend has passed.

May 22, 2013

Hi All

The Blessing of the Bikes is behind us. Our town is quiet till next year.. It's a fun weekend for most and the weather was great for Saturday and Sunday sunny and 75 to 80..Friday when a large portion of people were heading up it was rainy and cold. Most of our check-ins were wet and some shaking cold..

I was out Trout fishin some this past week with friends casting with both streamers and lures.One day was pretty tought fly fishing,Tommy and I got crispy, in a hot all day sun. The other day was a decient bite and we had some clouds while rowing some friends pitching lures. Lots of 8"-16" fish were after those bait fish patterns.

Yesterday I was helping with some projects on John's big lake boat. Then we did a shake down run on a small inland lake trying for some Walleyes with no luck on eyes but did get 5 perch not keeper size.The 24' Great lakes Special ran well and we then rigged it for the big lake and had some lines to rig as well. This a.m. we went to Ludington to find out if we could find a few fish..We ( John Robinson," Katch Me" Sean Mc Donald and I ) set up and went 7 for 8 from 7 till 10:30a.m.. Then the rain started and we pulled lines and got out of there..

The fish were caught from 30' to 150' down in 200-250 FOW on dipsy divers, downriggers, and coppers. We caught Kings, Coho, Steelhead on this trip out. No Browns or Lakers..We saw a window for today's weather then it's suppose to blow and get ugly with 8'-15' waves the next couple days and a cool down. So the lake will be stired up and scatter the water that was setting up nice thermoclines that help you find fish and pattern them somewhat. So after a big blow it could take a week or longer before the water gets good again..So we went ! And had a great time ! Thanks John..We all had a Jones for some big lake fishen..Good first trip out..

Don't know much else, Memorial Day weekend is coming up quick and we still have some rooms open for Friday and Sunday. Only one double open for the whole weekend so were filling up which is a good thing..Hope to see you up here sometime this summer..
