15. Fishing reports posted to this site after the event would be appreciated.

Dan, if you look under the man forum for "South Haven Fishing League" you will see some past reports done by several of guys who fished the previous events.

Thanks Matt!

Well done, I thought that was you guys at the boat launch last night but was not sure enough to say hey.

Good job Alan, way to focus on the bite and adjust.

Well done Terry and crew!! I second Phil, really appreciate the detailed report.

Well done Tarrey and crew!

Wow, well done Don!

Thanks Matt, great job and great report!!

Another vote on the Great Lakes Planers.

Shawn dont even worry about the moon manistee is always good.. I stayed at insta launch last summer maybe a week later (mid july) I wouldnt recommed leaving the boat in the water we trailered it to and from launch saved tons of time and fuel!! And Matt and Craig put us on the fish right away. (Great GUYS) And the insta launch has a nice selection of streak spoons and some others. Last year reg kato was hot lemon berry and mixed veggies did some serious damage too. If you want any more detail send me a pm

Good luck

Thanks Nick, it looks we are headed there late July now, I will definitly give you a shout prior to pick your brain. Thanks again

You forgot to add my wife

Good Point! I never thought about that angle??

Thank you to everyone!! This website is a great group of people. I think we are going to change trips and camp in the UP for the week of the 4th, then take two looong weekends to fish both Ludingtion and Manistee.

Well done Kyle!! Those are nice looking fish!

Just drop me a pm befor ya come up and I'll set you up. It is also pretty good now also. Also where are ya camping at?

Thank you! I really appreciate that!! We are camping at Insta Lunch?? campground. Never been to it , any insite on insta launch or other good oppurtunitys? Do you think a 21' trophy will be able to make it from that campground out to the lake or will I have to pull it out?

I agree with KJ and would like to add that a lot depends on the time of year and weather. I've normally found that the nite bite continues on for about another half hour to sixty minutes after sunset, instead of twenty minutes or so. Same reverse for morning, starts earlier, ends earlier too I found. I don't know if you are committed to Manistee or not, but the Ludington fishing just 30 miles south is on fire right now.

We are camping in Manistee, but could easily trailer down......hopefully the bit moves north in the next 2 weeks.

My wife and I are planning a weeklong trip to Manistee the July 4 week. We initially planned on taking the boat to do some legendary Manistee fishing, but looking at the moon phase calendar the moon will be at almost full all week. I have heard many rumors around full moon fishing, they include 1. Fish don’t bite well in the morning, 2. Night fishing is really good and 3. When the moon is at peak the best times are in the afternoon. Well I don’t know what do believe or really understand the truth about lunar phases and how they relate to fishing. Any seasoned fisherman or charter guys care to share their experience?

Thanks again Terry for the invite, even though a slow day for the Dirty Dog it was a great day for Becky and I. We both continued to learn new tactics and techniques and look forward to fishing with you again. The picture with Becky was her biggest King yet!

Well done Don and crew!!

Well done, that is a nice fish!

Had a great time fishing the SHFL again, Shannon and crew you do a great job!!

This morning was a slow for us, we had a heavy box of fish on Friday and thought we had a program tuned just right but instead we had to work for the 5 we weighed in.
