Very nice....beautiful day to be out on the water
Picked up a third coho plus two knockoffs.
Super! I am hoping to get there tomorrow or Friday. We were there the other day... Started at Kettle Point from R&R (was a mistake probably, water 49F) then packed our stuff and went towards Franks (water 52F), ended up 4/11, 2 lakers and 2 small salmons, nothing on riggers, all sliders and a laker on 7-color. Had to cut the trip short though due time limit but it was a beautiful day, I love being on the other side off Pinery... 
Last one in the box, final count 2 small salmon and 2 small bows. The bows were on the down lines at 30 and 45 on pink panties and blueberry muffin.

and it’s good to know that you made it out there,and that I was of some kind of help to you,(by pm), on the information on how to fish the Kettle Point area,and to also be extremely cautious by the many fast approaching “Rock” shoals everywhere,if someone didn’t know the area & Tight lines!! 
Excellent report @crappiequeen
and were you fishing with @Mickey Finn and if so,how did he make out fishing? 
I have not heard from him for a while. I and likely other’s are looking forward to your photo’s & tight lines to you/both the rest of the day.
Thanks for the update @crappiequeen
and you just answered my question on wether I should bring my downrigger or not,(both caught in 60 feet on a cheater),and the answer is,”YES!!” lol

@vmuravin how was the boat ramp at R&R,such as deep enough & how much is it to launch a boat there?? I was there last March,2021 (photo’s),on a day trip,(no boat),because Lake Huron was still frozen.

Looks like it’s four salmon, no rainbow. Regardless, great day on the pond! @Mickey Finn is a great captain, I think I’ll let him take me fishing again on Friday!

It definitely looked like a beautiful day on the lake today @crappiequeen for you and @Mickey Finn and is that Kettle Point way in the distance to the left? Thanks in advance & tight lines to you both on your next fishing trip out.

That is Kettle Point, though we launched from port franks marina this time.
The ramp was ok, the gentlemen who was there was angry since we came early but then he became a little less angry since we took off so quietly that nobody in the whole reservation woke up@vmuravin how was the boat ramp at R&R,such as deep enough & how much is it to launch a boat there??

Going to the Grand Bend tomorrow and then will troll south towards Port Franks. Hope to get at least 20 salmons...
@crappiequeen if I may ask, what spoons/colors worked besides that copper one? thank you
Pink Panties and Blueberry muffin each caught one.@crappiequeen if I may ask, what spoons/colors worked besides that copper one? thank you
Super, thanks. I did not have a chance to run these yesterday; was more like an experimental outing as I ran my Ontario spoons but smaller size. BTW, almost all hits yesterday were on one very particular spoon - Luhr Jensen Shoehorn, spoon name Dodgeman, size 3.
Another question if I may - how fast you guys were going at the ball?

Fish finder clocked us as 2.7 - 3.0 mph. We found the smaller spoons worked better also.
Thanks & a good tip @crappiequeen
I will need to bring some smaller spoons such as the mini streaks in the Pink Panties and Blueberry muffin.
