Finally dipped my rig in the river this weekend. Got to watch my son and nephews boat a metric chit-ton of fish. Definitely a weekend for the books. On Saturday my son had the big fish for most of the morning.
Gramps took over in the afternoon while youthful exuberance was catching a nap.
Today was just my son and me in the boat, and he got to learn how to net fish and take pictures...instead of catching all the damn fish!
Great weekend, just wish we didn't have school commitments and work messing up the calendar.

We went out this morning too. Man was that rain cold this morning! I was for sure not ready for that. Just before the rain started my buddy hooked into a 50" musky! We quit around noon and ended with 20 fish in the cooler between the 4 of us

Were you near the Wyndatte launch or farther south? Great fish
They are in pretty thick on the Flint river now too. A friends kids picked up quite a few near Montrose on Saturday.
Was your brother near Saginaw, or further up the river?

We fished further down. Wind coming across erie made boat control a little rough later in the day so we bounced around a bit.
I'll be back down midweek through the weekend it looks like. One of my two talking petri dishes brought home something from school that laid me out end of last week through the weekend. Weather looks good enough I might end up taking them down this Friday/weekend to hang up a bunch of jigs.
Further up the river.
Fishing was good this morning. We were done at 10. Picked up some big fish early just north of BASF. Then ran to the mudline up at the new bridge and spent the rest of the morning up there in Canadian waters.
This big Mofo snuck up on us. It was cruising downstream with the current. Must have been empty. Luckily it was making almost no wake.

Were you in the deep water on the Canadian side or closer to the island? When fishing BASF did you fish in front of the bouys on the island or right in front. I have one friend who uses different terminology to describe this.
The buoys straight out from Wyandotte in 20-25ft the furthest we ever drift is to the BASF sign in the grass.
40ft of water up by the bridge in Canadian water, and then a little by the pencils buoys on the north end of Fighting Island.

I don't know all the terminology to describe the location, but on Sunday we found a hole downriver of this boat (if it's still in the same spot), on the Canadian side, across from a white building(looking at Canada), in between the boat and Ceasars. I don't remember the depth, but it was over 30'. The first drift we caught 4 back to back with one of them being a double. The next 3 drifts we only caught fish in this spot. By this time it was noon and we had over 20 fish in the live-well between the 4 of us and were cold and wet so we headed back in.
Edit: On second look, it wasn't this boat. But the hole was just upriver from Ceasars.
I had been waiting for this trip all season. He blew us all away with how quickly he picked it up. He managed to catch two in 40ft of water by himself, and reeled up most everything everyone else hooked. His also happened to be biggest two. Unfortunately his sister has a stomach bug and missed her trip yesterday.
Tons of freighter traffic today. One sent us for a nice ride in the dark.
Pulled the boat today. T-storms moving in tonight and it had to be out tomorrow anyway.
