5-7 sunday morning. 2-4 in the lake and 3-3 in the channel. 4 kings 12-15# and a coho. Set-ups were ace high lucky charms and green lightning on 2 and 3 color, yellow lightning 55 back on wire diver and blu ladderback down 10 on a rigger.

Nice job Dad!

Good job keg. Moved in tighter to shore after talking to you and it was one after another

Fished south haven from 6:00 to 8:00. Started in front and got one right away then headed south and found them tight too shore in 8-15 tow. Speed was 2.2 to2.4. All the usual cohos killers. Ended 17-19. Everything ran fine so off to the brown blast Saturday.

We used to fish 3-4 pro -ams a year but now we do1 maybe 2. We always do the big red in holland. I love fishing these events especially when our crew is all family. Last couple years we got married,more hours,house payments so its tough to find the time. I love fishing the one day tournaments too. The steelheaders put on two good ones. If anyone wants to prove themselves or have fun the Mich challenge in may is low entry...80 bucks? And the payout for first is 2500. Also the kids and kings is one of my favorites.

Any size on the kings?

Now that the big kings are up river I was wondering about the numbers of 20# fish that fisherman on this site caught this year. For us it took quite a while to get our first....but we took 9-10. 7 of them came on boards and. 2 on riggers (both in front of the pierheads) and one i cant account for. Hottest on the boards was plugs. Half core, 300 45# copper and 300 30# copper with two colors of leadcore with a blue ladderback plug took 4 with one at 26#. Our biggest 26/half in the channel on a white paddle green fly. Wonderin how other guys ended up?????

It was actually a fishing a fishing report.....till the complaining started......i havent heard anything goin on,dont know anyone who has been out, if i hear anything ill post back on your thread. I have enjoyed reading your channel reports.....thanks.

Probably had 20 bites on the boards out of 38 in the last 3 trips with most comin on orange and gold jointed rapalas. For better hook ups with the rapalas remove front hook and use bigger size trebles in the back.

Thanks jwheeler...thought i would get too 1000 views before someone said good job or thanks for the report.

I agree with FBD...first on the list would be the boats not knowing what they are doing.....last would be how guys are catching their fish. 9 times out of 10 the guys pulling boards have a good idea of whays goin in....example(always knew where FBD was going most boats unpredictable). Also would bet 9 outta 10 that have planer board issues dont even combat fish

Took 9 of our fish on boards in two days. 4 on rigs and divers. One tangl with another boat that was our fault in 8 hrs of fishing. They were HOTTT.

Saw you over by the rocks couldnt figure out what was goin on. We did hook down rigger cable twice in the channel.

If people could see that your divers and slide divers were set on 3-5 you probably woudnt make any friends. LOL. Lots of times our boards were 6-8 ft away from the boat. The boards are orange and really stand out though.

The frustating part for us was that guys were trolling fast on the way in and slow on the way out. Had to pass a few boats when we were heading west.
