Been pretty good salmon fishing out of Escanaba this year but you couldn't tell by last night. Hit the water about 630 fishing til 10 from portage pte to 2 miles S of the FRC. Could not buy a hit. Even with BSG onboard. Time to start traveling further. Its a bummer cause I really like being able to fish so close to home. Beautiful night on the water, though, at least we had that :)
Water temps pretty uniform, 70 down 56-58, on bottom in 95fow 52. Did find some pockets od 51 80 down over 100+fow. Marked some hooks but NO BAIT. It's scary how little bait I'm marking over deep water this year. I'm afraid the scientists may be correct, this fishery is going down the tubes. I hope they are wrong!
