    Thanks for the advice guys? I’ve been learning in a silo, so this helps. JDH I wish I had a fish hawk. That would provide some really useful info. What channel should I call out on? What channel are people talking on?

    Headed out of Holland around 7pm for the evening bite. Heard of a couple good reports from between Holland and Port Sheldon, so that’s where we went. Spent the night trolling north in 120FOW. 8 lines down 35-70 deep. Marked some bait and some fish, but no bites. It’s was rough pounding into the waves. At 9:30 we headed back to port defeated by the lake. The program: North trolling 2.2MPH on GPS 7clr lead with 3” green splatter back plug 7clr lead with UV Glow Bloody Nose 300cu with NBK spoon 300cu with NBK spoon Dipsy back 150 with Dragon Slayer Spid Dr and Olive Oil fly Dipsy back 150 with Kryptonite and Pickle Sunshine fly rigger down 70 with IV Glow Green Jeans rigger down 70 with Modified Blue Dolphin Any Advice?

    Finally got out this year. Bought a new boat, so we were getting used to a new set up. Major upgrade from before though. We're riding in a MonArk Commander 176 with a 125 Merc. Drift bags were a nice addition, and we could keep a nice slow troll without any problems. The Report: Got out at 5:30am and fished anywhere from 80FOW to 150FOW. Primarily a North troll around 2.2 SOG. Very little marks anywhere. Hooked up on a 1yr King around 6am in 100FOW on 300 copper with a UV hot lips moonshine spoon That's all. It was a SLOW day.

    Getting the boat wet for the first time in 2026 this Saturday. Heading out of South Haven or Saugatuck in the evening. Any reports on Walleye or Coho?

    @jdhThats very possible. It was hard for us to tell, and we’re new at it this year.

    Getting in the rounds today! Dialed in a good 6 rod program on our smaller boat. Ran out to 115 FOW and put lines down in a south troll. 2.6SOG felt good on our riggers and divers. All hits between 6-7am. Got showered on while getting bites. We think the fish slid out after that. Dock reports were that 130 FOW was more productive. 1 coho on a rigger down 80. Double Glow Silver Horde 1 King on a 10 color. Green Jeans UV Glow 1 King (34 inches) on a dipsey back 170. Dragon Slayer and Olive Oil.

    Thanks for the report. I'll be heading out of PS tomorrow AM.

    Never trust the forecast or the buoy 100%. The lake has a mind of its own. I've been out many times where the forecast showed 1ft or less, the buoy showed around 1, and then I got out there and the lake has a hard 3ft chop. That being said, nice job in the rough waters, at least not skunked! I'll be out tonight hopefully. Thanks for the report!

    Was happy to find out the storms had cleared up, so we launched the boat and lines down by 5:30am. Took a pounding from the waves. 1: 6am SE troll 3.0mph, 93FOW, rigger down 55 with a blue SD and a blue button fly. 2: 6:10am SE troll 3.0mph, 90 FOW, 10 color (down 35ft) chrome dodger with UV Glow Green Jeans. 3: 6:20am N troll 2.5mph, 85FOW, rigger down 65 with Silver Horde double glow. 4: 6:45am N troll 2.5mph, 79FOW, rigger down 65 with Silver Horde double glow. Went 4/4, pulled lines 7am. Great day!

    First post. Getting out in a old forest green StarCraft Holiday with a 50hp Evinrude. First boat =]. Got up early today before work. Lines down at 5:10. 80FOW. 2.8-3.2 SOG. Ten color lead core took a 15lb King on a Moonshine UV Bloody Nose under a 11" clear UV flasher. Duplicated the set up on the other side of the boat, and it got a hit right away, but crossed my other line and got off. Pulled lines at 7am to get to work on time. Had a great morning!

    Thanks JDH! It’s my first time out for spring coho. Is there a reason to go in the afternoon rather than first light? I’ll be sending out the following. Blue green gold peanut fly on red dodgers, red/black this fin, and red/gold thin fin.

    Thanks for the info. I typically launch out of PS.
