Thanks guys I'm sure not calling it quits (lol).

I try to make it up to my in-laws around the 4th every year, they live in the U.P. on Lake Superior. We troll with down-riggers and big weights and BIG flashy spoons for lake trout though with the drift nets and the commercial fishing a good day is almost a thing of the past. Most of our catches are below 200' and even down at 400'.
I really enjoy the lack of pleasure boats tearing up the water on Cordell Hull and Center Hill (at least during the week, I stay off the water on the weekends). Monday I saw 2 pontoon boats and a small John and a single pleasure boater easing along. Why I almost felt lonesome (lol).
I going with the flashy spoons and going deep and will leave the shallows alone for a day and see what happens.




the land in the back ground is beautiful Porcupine Mountain we're about a mile off shore maybe a little more.

I just need to make a point of fishing deep for a while and Center Hill should become a favorite.
