Just trying to keep you posted

I have had a couple great trips this week.  No we did not fish in the downpour on Monday.

Sunday was cloudy, hot, humid but our plan was to set for Salmon first thing,   Boom, it took a while but we did land a nice king salmon.  Great, love when a plan comes together.  Saw a little rap on a copper and caught another salmon.  Two kings before 8:3o.

 

Stayed on the plan for a while and had several other hits.  Because of the nature of the strikes,  I feel at least two of the strikes were salmon.  Rest of the morning we landed three trout but had several others on.

 

On to today.  Beautiful morning, light winds a few clouds.   I had to go back to the plan and we did.

We were 0 for 4 but these were definite salmon and really perked our interest.  Then a nice salmon hit our deep downrigger and gave us quite a fight for its size.   It ended up in the net and on ice.  Stayed on the plan and the final count for today was two salmon and four trout.  The biggest trout was fourteen pounds.

The weather forecast for the rest of the week is great.  Give us a call and LETS GO FISHING

Time to Fish

by

May 2022

The last couple of years have been a whirlwind because of Covid and my move from Leland  to Traverse City.  With all of that behind us, I am hoping for a normal year.

 

My first year chartering in Traverse City was amazing.  I never canceled a trip because of weather, did not have any one get sick and caught fish on every trip.  The other plus was not having to fish in high waves which is real difficult and not seeing my customers have to pay $ 5 a fish for cleaning.  Seeing some of my past customers was fantastic,  and the introduction of new people to my business was great.

 

The boat is prepped for launch and I am anticipating a launch date within the next few days.  Yes, there is fishing this early.  We will be ready to fish almost immediately launch.

 

The salmon fishing continues to be a challenge.  I always had baits out for a silver fish and my success was about the same as past years.  Lake trout fishing was strong all season.

 

I have had to increase my rates this season because of fuel prices.   My new rates are $ 500 for a party of up to four and $ 50 for each person up to 6.  Rates are subject to change based on fuel prices.

I have already received numerous calls and bookings for this season.  Please, if you have your plans set, why not make your reservation early.  The prime time weekends and holidays will fill first.  .

 

I continue to build my business on past clients and referrals.  I hope you or a friend will have the opportunity to fish with me again this season.  Please call or you can e-mail farfetched@charter.net

 

Best Fishing,

And it continues

What a spring we have had, temps in the 80’s one day and freeze warnings on some evenings.

 

This spring has been one like last year when I had all the problems with the trailer and getting the boat launched.   If you have not heard that story, come fish with me because it is a long one.

 

So after last season, a lot of care was given to the condition of the trailer, timeliness of departure to Traverse City from the pole barn.  We left around 8 am headed to TC with temperature sensor in hand.  The trip went without a hitch and the boat was launched after checking all fluids.  Tried to start port engine several times, no luck.  Tried starboard engine, battery dead.  I had charged the batteries while at the pole barn.  After many minutes of trying, got the port engine started and jumped to the starboard and got it running.  Quick lake ride to verify operation.   Back to the slip and tied up.  AMEN

 

Went to the boat with my power washer to power wash boat.  Going great, boat was dirty and really needed this.  One third of the way done and the power washer quit and died.  Wanted to get the boat cleaned.  so off to the store and got  a new power washer and got it done.

 

Spent several days cleaning, organizing and finding items on the boat.  Seems like this is every year and I am still not done with this project.

 

Wanted to go fishing to check out the boat and all the systems.  Again,  this is a regular spring agenda item before we say we are ready to go.  Pulled out of the slip and starboard transmission cable broke and we had to hand over hand to get back in the slip.

 

Replaced the cable and hope to get fishing this weekend and verify the other systems.

 

Hopefully the rest of the summer will be uneventful other that being able to carry the cooler with all the fish in it.

 

See you soon.
