We took friends out in Whitehall last night and caught 8 kings 2 coho and 1 laker from 150-230. We only threw back 1 shaker. Most fish were 55-80 down with 3 or 4 on dipsys back 100-160. The fog was terrible. The radar was indispensable! Captain Clyde Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Pretty good scorecard! It must have been a little challenging dealing with the fog off PS. I've had some pretty close calls there in the past.

Thanks for the report. Fog is the worst. Well it sounded like you lost the flys. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Nice job guys! And good job by PUG and the gang navigating in that fog.

Weather was looking ok after the rain this morning so decided to fish the evening. Fished 5:30-9:30 pm. Stayed mostly in 190-195 fow. Ended up 7/10 with two 10lb+ kings and two 8 lb kings, two 4 lb kings, and one shaker. Troll north and south 2.3 mph at the ball. Downrigger @ 99 took 3 hits with moonshine std happee meal - took a 4th hit later at 89 feet. Downrigger @ 55 took 2 hits with a streak std Smurf. 300 Copper with a streak mag blue dolphin took 2 hits. 200 Copper with RV mag raspberry carbon took 1 hit. Mag diver back 115 with steak std bloody nose took 1 hit.

The fog was something. Wouldn't have gone out - but someone on the radio said it was clear in 170 fow. It was not... Nor was it clear in 200 fow.

PUG setup in 140ish on a SW troll and hit like 6 bites right on the set so we all thought it was gonna be a banger of a night ended up 9 for 18 or something like that deepest we trolled was 175 problem we ran into was all the fish out deep were kinda small and FBD reported some bigger ones in that 50-70 fow so we eventually trolled in which was a conducive decision with the fog as thick as it was pretty much all the quality action came in the top 40 feet rigger with a half a meal moonshine spoon was best down 38 half cores went several times copp150s sounded off too high dipsey lost a good one twas a slow ride in and back to the dock on far east side of Macatawa as the fog only intensified as the night went on 20260524_214513.mp4 20260524_214328.mp4

Great report, ty! Tight lines… Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Fished 6:30 until 8:30 and left the launch just before it started to rain. Went 5/10 but only got two keeper kings. Lost a few other "decent" fish. 125-140 fow. Speed 2.8-3.0. NNW/SSE trolls best. Forget what bit what but had bits on: 2 x100 copper with stingray Jager bomb uv 2x 200 copper with mag moonshine raspberry carbon 1 x Downrigger @45 with standard streak bloody nose uv 1 x Downrigger @ 45 with stand streak Smurf 3 x Diver @ 120 with standard streak blue whale 1 x 150 copper with stingray mixed veggie uv.

That east wind was moving at a good clip. Fish were turned on and glad you found them. Good catching!

Quite an evening! Very sporty out there this evening. 13 for 16. 12lb steelhead to start the evening 130fow 100 copper w/fireball gold with dingles. We tried a little bit of everything tonight.

Dancing Anchovy, Parrot, Yellow goby, Shelly Snack, RV bloody nose, RV wonderbread, 225 copper took fish 5 color took fish. West troll worked best with the wind. Into the wind and waves was tough. Most fish came in 120-150fow. 75-35 down.
