2012 Salmon Results

This years trip will be remembered as the year the boat broke down. Met a lot of great people from Manistee that went out of their way to get us back on the water. We hooked 47 fish and landed 39 of them which gave us a catch rate of 83%, which is very good. We lost 1 fish at the net, 1 fish got caught in the prop of the kicker motor and 1 fish broke the line because we did not check the fishing line after each hook up. We caught 37 king salmon, 1 coho and 1 lake trout that we released. We caught 21 fish in the morning and 18 fish in the evening. Of the 13 sessions we could have made it out, we made it 10 times, some of which were in 4 to 5 foot seas. The 3 missed sessions happened because the boat had electrical problems. We totaled 39.5 hours of fishing and landed 39 fish for an average of .99 fish per hour. The 39 fish weighed 469 lb. for an average of 12.02 lb per fish. Below is a list of the lures that caught the fish.
