Fishing for Salmon on the Great Lakes (revised)

Yesterday we boarded a family member's 30' cabin cruiser and headed out on the Great Lakes in search of salmon. Here's some photos of our trip and the fish caught from the 300' deep lakes.

The Mackinac Bridge connecting Mackinac City and St. Ignace in northen Michigan.
On our way...at 50 mph under power of two 250 horsepower outboard engines.
Rigging the downrigger and outrigger lines.
Fish on!
Watching the lines for a 'hit'.
28" Salmon and 24" Lake Trout caught -- here is the salmon caught by one of the younger grandsons.

And the lake trout.

From the water we could see the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.

Great morning on the waters of the magnificent Great Lakes!
