Family Trip to Holland for a Multi-Boat Charter with Captain Drew!

IMG_20150720_202816_535IMG_20150720_203450_191We had a great multi-boat charter in the morning for a long term client.

Made the trip the night before up to Holland and the captains stayed on the boat to be ready for the next day of fishing. Turned out to be a great morning to fish!

Excellent fish outing with 8 boats this year.  For the trip up to Holland we took my Family and Captain Drew along.

Great King Salmon fight for Drew and Jacob. Nobody can ever turn down the smile of a kid with a big Salmon.  Check it out!

 

 

 

Discussing Bacterial Kidney Disease in Great Lakes Fish

During our fishing charter last weekend we caught a Steelhead with a severe case of BKD. She was very thin and she released her eggs all over the deck of the boat – what a mess. I thought it would be good timing to post a video on this disease that is becoming more and more prevalent in the Steelhead we see.

For more information about Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD), visit the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website at http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10364_52259_10950-27345–,00.html.

Eggs Everywhere!! Laker Eggs All Over the Boat!

IMG_20150620_114854_705Never had this happen before.  Eggs from a Lake Trout all over the deck.  They are just like perfectly round marbles.  What a mess they went everywhere while trying to clean them up.

Too big to go through the drains, too small to pick up, hard to spray out the back.

What a mess. But I guess that’s where the next year’s fish come from right?
