    Lines in at 6:45 at 145 fow. First fish at 8:15, 22 lb lake trout. White flasher fly down 110. Second fish at 8:45, 5 lb king on 100 copper orange tuxedo gold. And that's it. Fished from 145 fow to 250 fow and now working back in. Dropped some flasher flies 150+ on the downrigger. Will see what happens. In 175 fow now.

    Smaller size. Biggest was 8 lbs for us. Fished Muskegon on Sunday and also got 4 kings, but they were 8-14 lbs maybe?

    Every year is different!

    Bait may be slightly delayed on the spawn. Could keep the kings around longer into June. Could mean a delayed run in August September?

    Good job on finding the steelies!

    There's usually a good batch of fish this time of year between 120-240 (not the whole range but some groups of fish between there). Just need to find them. But there could also be good numbers in close to Saugatuck. The fish move a lot day to day.

    Pretty confident good numbers of fish are out deeper.

    Low and slow... Or I often swap in smaller spoons (superslims) and FAST. 3.5-4 mph.

    Fish will almost certainly be in Grand Haven this weekend. They always start south and move north.

    Best fishing lately seems to be in the 30-70 fow range.
