My local tackle shop said the DNR banned frozen herring last April.

I’ve never heard that.

I believe only registered company in Michigan for cut bait Herring is lucky 7s. 

Awesome making memories of a lifetime. 

Not to many silvers around right now. Plenty of lakers on the bottom. 120-140 fow. People are picking up some steelhead.

By the way, the fish cleaning station at the Holland launch is closed. The one in St. Joseph was closed too.

Worked mostly 70-90 spoons and thin fins. Lost one steelhead on a meat rig. 

How were the marks in 120? We fished Soho Tuesday 120-135 was lots of marks. Pulled 6 lakers and 1 king in that water.

Only Mark's we seen were in 130 than about 80 when we finished pulling lines.

Nice work Ed. We also ran deep this morning. one little jack on a moonshine honey pot 200 copper. Also had a short hit on a 300 copper. Was definitely a bouncy morning out deep. 

We fished 205-220 Fow. Went 5-9. Green was the color of the day for us. Fake meat on wire dippsy high diver back 89 took 4 hits. Rigger down 53-57 down went twice one fish came off the main line other off the free slider. Both lakers came off of the 300 coppers. 

Haven't posted  we got 1 steelhead for the last 4 trips.

Marked alot of fish between 50-80FOW just nothing to show. No Mark's outside of 90fow of water for us today.

Thanks for the report. Seems like you should have got something out between 140-170.
Where did you launch this morning? I always use the DNR launch but it is closed from what I have heard.
