    in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout

    Posted

    Went out Wednesday night w/my dad, son and his girlfriend, looking forward to a nice night with forecasted "less than 1' waves" only to be greeted by 3'+ with more than a few 4+' rollers thrown in :eek:

    Fishing was tough too, managed only a king on a Hot Lobster meat rig down 80' (rigger) in 95 fow' at sunset.. 13lbs

    Looking for redemption Thursday night with a buddy, went 3/3:

    Shaker Coho 50 down on rigger, carmel dolphin SS in 120' fow ~ released to grow up.

    King 10# Meat Rig w/blue bubble spin dr. 130 back on wire diver 95' fow

    King 14# Meat Rig Hot Lobster w/white e-chip flasher down 60'(rigger) in 90' fow

    Started in 130' moved into 90' fow around 8:00 p.m....many more marks in the 90-100 range for us than deeper.

    Was able to make it out of Grand Haven a couple times this weekend without having to fish the bumpy seas on Saturday morning.

    7/24pm

    Had a late crew and we got stuck in rush hour traffic on our way out to GH so got a bit latter start. Crew consisted of my roommates, a good fishing buddy, and his close friend for his first time on the big lake. Had lines down around 7pm or so and fish until 11:30pm. Finished 4/5 with 3 lake trout, a 10-12lb king, and a nice trash bag (thought that one was a lake trout for a while). The lake trout came in 115-125 FOW and the king hit on the way into the pier heads in 82 FOW at 11pm. Here's what worked:

    200cu - Chartruese custom DW Captain's Choice plug - laker

    High Slide Diver out 130ft - BW Spotted Dick meat rig - laker

    75cu with 2oz dive bomb - some spoon - 5ft long plastic bag

    Low Diver out 100ft - Green Splatter Back Ace High - lost king

    100cu with 2oz Dive Bomb - MS Happee Meal Mag - king

    We had just been joking about how Lakers often fight like a plastic bag then we ironically had a planer board drag back....

    7/26am

    Just my dad and I headed out on Sunday morning and were greeted with a flat lake and another great lake Michigan sunrise...

    Felt weird running only a 6 rod spread after having graduated up to 12 rods lately with the bigger boat, but we were still able to have a good morning. Had lines down at 6am in 85 FOW on a NW troll and headed out to 140 FOW. Stayed in the 120-150 range the rest of the morning pulling lines at 11am. Finished 4/5 with a 15lb king, 2lb king, shaker king, and about a 6lb steelhead. There were some nice slicks out in the 140-150 range, north and south trolls were best. Here's what worked:

    200cu - MS Happee Meal mag - king

    High Slide Diver out 150ft - Pearly/blue Spinnie and Blue bubble fly - lost king

    100cu - Stinger Shanster - 2lb king

    Downrigger at 50ft - Stinger Stingray UV Green Dolphin - shaker king

    Downrigger at 70ft - Mtn. Dew Spinnie with UV fly - steelhead

    0 for 2, 80-110 fow, 1st was a SteelHead, jumped high in the air and slipped my caramel spoon mag size on my 8 color adjustable lead core, full out this time as I pulled him in, south troll, 2.4 sog. 2nd was a king, broke my green uv meat rig just above the top skirt, at least I still got my sd. Sw troll, 2.4 sog off rigger down 65, bk 60. I think I should have let him run longer to wear him out. It seemed too much pressure on the meat rig line. I have had several break on me lately. I'm very disappointed in their quality since they seemed to have changed their tying process. I have used all brands. I have had them break in all areas up and down the rig in the skirt areas and when they tie them to their swivels if one is part of the setup. Very crowded at the launch ramp. Good thing the "Littleboat" was able to maneuver thru the mess. Great night otherwise.

    What meat rigs are you using? I've never (knock on wood) had a BW break on me .

    Set lines a little after 6:00 p.m. in 85 fow on a SW troll.

    Ended a disappointing 2/2

    Both came on BW blue meat rig.

    1- Came "around" 100' back in 110 fow as I was letting it creep out..nice 13# king ~ had high hopes for the evening as it was the 3rd rod I was putting out

    1- same rig 140 back around 8:30.-- 8# king

    didn't mark many fish, think I should've started north of the pier a ways and trolled with the waves...rougher than I thought it was :(

    fished 85'-150'
