October is a tough weather month but can have great fishing.  As the Edmund Fitzgerald Song by Gordon Lightfoot says, “When the gales of November come early”.  It seems that History tends to repeat itself and we get too many ‘gale force winds’ in October.  As we have seen in years past we have customers eager to get in some more fishing before winter; however, it is hard to get out on the water.  This year we had four fishing trips scheduled and we went for two boat rides to check it out, the other two days were 6-8 and 8-10 foot waves.  Only one group decided to brave the weather in 2-4 foot waves that built to 4-6 footers just before we came in.  Great action but difficult getting the fish in the boat – the waves helped the fish out today.  Caught 2 Kings, 1 Lake Trout, and 1 Steelhead for this late season fishing trip. Last one for this year….time to start working on prepping the boat to come out of the water and getting the gear ready for next year!
