    Launched at Sterling State Park and headed straight out. dropped in as soon as soon we broke 20’ and started catching fish. Ran a racetrack out to 26’. 24’ of water was best. Spoon bite with 2.5 mph +/- on the speed. Ran one side of the boat with Tadpole Diving weights and the other side with the two sizes of Big Jon mini disks. Couldn’t see any preference to presentation as both methods caught fish. We covered about 11’ to 22’ of the water column, but 14’ to 18’ seemed best. We also found that the spoons with either a chartreuse or red back were hot in that stained water we had, so more of the same spoons went down. We were one short of our limit by 10:00 and it took another two hours to punch our ticket and head in. Big bonus Sheepshead and 4-5 White Bass that went back.

    South Haven 4/27 9 for 10. 2 kings and 7 coho. An undersize coho went back, so eight keepers. All fish came in 55’—61’ of water. Ran a race track north and south of pier. 3 coho on the 100’ and 150’ coppers with Silver Streak Pink Alewife spoons. 1 Coho on 4 colors of leadcore with an Ice Strong Killer Fish in Gold Lemmon Aid UV. 2 Coho on 3 colors of leadcore with gold backed Michigan Stinger Double Orange Crush spoon. 2 kings on the downrigger running a 1 color SWR down 35’ with a Warrior Whammy spoon. Missed fish was on the other downrigger running a 2 color SWR down 45’ with a modified Tin Can Dodger with some green prism tape on one side and a green and chrome Double Trouble Spin N Glow.

    St Joe 4/24 6 for 8. Two kings and four coho. Lost 2 and had another 4 that took line but were not there when we picked up the rod. Had another 4 that were undersized shakers and went back. Tried out front of the pier for about an hour and a half in 40’ - 50’ without a bite. Picked up and ran south down to the power plant and worked it north and south. 45’ to 47’ was the best water. 100 & 150 copper both with a pink alewife spoon was the hot presentation taking the most fish and the getting the most strikes. The Thin fin and a Mr Chrome Yea Mon on the 3 color took one each. A modified spoon (I call pink dolphin) on the 4 color took one. The dipsey divers did not get bit and the down riggers got a shaker. Not sure what the other shakers, the 4 missed fish and 2 lost fish hit. I was driving most of the time. Sent from my iPad using Great Lakes Fisherman

    Went 19-21 with another 2-3 hits that failed to hook up. Trolled south down to the power plant in 20’ to 25’ of water. 2 mph at the ball and 2.7 mph at the surface. Steady action until we briefly turned back north by the chalets, but quickly turned back south as the bite turned off. Picked right back up on that south troll. Had a mix of thin fins, jointed stick baits, mag lips and spoons. Everything caught fish, but it definitely was a spoon bite for us today. 80% of our fish came on spoons. Wound up pulling two thin fins and one of the mag lips in favor of more spoons. Double orange crush was the hot bait. Sent from my iPad using Great Lakes Fisherman

    Made only our second trip of the season to the big lake today at South Haven. Zero boat trailers in the parking lot at the boat launch when we got there at 6:30 should have told us what to expect. We could only scratch up four fish going 4-4. Two lakers, a nice steelhead and a small king. Two lakers on the downrigger 75 feet down with a tin can dodger doctored up with green prism tape on one side with a chrome and green spin-n-glow. A small king hit the other down rigger down 65 feet with a UV blue dolphin spoon. The steelhead hit 10 colors of leadcore with a warrior whammy spoon. Fished 70 to 120 feet of water. All fish came in narrow band of water 105 to 108 deep. Only 3 fish last trip down in St Joe and four this trip. Hard to get excited about 3-4 fish per trip these days.

    Hit St. Joe on Friday for the first trip of the season. 7-8 all coho. Lost fish was more than likely big king. Got lines in around 8:30 and trolled south down about 3-4 miles working 20’ +/- 5’ but only had two fish to show for 4+ hrs of fishing. One we caught and one we pulled in after snagging someone’s broke off line with a fish still on it. We turned around and trolled all the way back to try the mud line, but all we caught up there was a planer board with a deep diving Rapala still attached. Owners name and phone number was on his planer board, so we called him and will try to get his stuff back to him sometime next week. Pulled lines around 1:00 and ran back down south to where we stopped and continued south and caught 5 fish and lost that nice king in the next 1 1/2 hrs. Thin fins, small spoons and 3.5 Mag Lips all caught fish. Nothing on coho dodger and spin n glow combo. The fish are definitely still south of St. Joe, or at least they were for us on Friday.

    I had a trophy 1802 and only ran manual downriggers with light balls, so I mounted them in tracks I decided to forgo tracks when I rigged my 2102 since I got new Big Jon Tournament electrics. I ran 12 lb balls on longer poles, so I through bolted the down riggers on Big Jon swivel plates with 1/4” aluminum backer plate. I still used tracks to mount my rod holders and trees.
