Long Lake - North of Alpena?

Good info here. Yes, we will also try a few other spots. Our cabin is within several hundred feet of one of the launches so getting in and out won't be a big deal.

The boat we'll be in is a 18.5' Sea Nymph. It's a pretty deep boat. It isn't set up to troll the Great Lakes but I was thinking of getting just one downrigger and running a few lines off it. My friend has several nice trolling rods. And I've got a tackle box full of trout/salmon lures.

I wonder if we could get out on the big lake and catch something without too much trouble out there.

dont have to run far to middle island.

get two dipseys(big ones)-or 4 and can run those. not as good as riggers, but i always run two diupseys with my riggers. Sometime they outproduce the riggers.
