I saw you guys trolling off the marina, but there was a bank caster there in the morning and he said you were quite a ways out (100 yards?). By the way, he didn't do anything while casting yeserday either. I was trolling <20 feet off the dikes, but it is impossible to do that if anyone is around on shore. Also, I have really not done well after 7:30 (although on Sat. the rain and heavy clouds kept action going until 8:30am).
Just a comment, but that mac in the picture is a really old fish. How old, I'm not sure, but just like in a human as we age, cartilage does not stop growing. The fins on that fish are huge in proportion to the size of the fish, which is why I say it is old. Ever notice that older people typically have larger noses and especially ears in proportion to their head size? With that said, some people have large nose/ears to begin their life, so it isn't 100% accurate, but I've seen enough old lake trout to know an old one from a young one.
