    Found a crew.

    Last minute check. I potentially have 1 or 2 seats on my boat tomorrow (Thursday). Thinking South Haven, Holland, or Port Sheldon. I'm flexible. Time-wise. Could launch anytime between 10 am and 1 pm. I'm free to fish until 7 pm, but don't need to stay out that long. Boat is a 19 foot Lowe side console with a 120 hp outboard and a 9.9 kicker. I have all rods/lures we need. Bring a cooler and make sure you have your fishing license. I'm not a charter - just looking from some cool people to catch some fish with, or help me wash lures. Send me a message on the forum, reply to this post if interested.

    Often seen boats in the Grand Haven channel start hooking up after a freighter departs in the morning. And have caught fish from the pier casting to the dredge.

    Fished from 8 until 12:30. Tried inside of 50 for 2 hours with only 1 coho to show for it. So we bumped out to 160. Fished in 160-180 and went 6/8 out there and 7/9 overall. Orange dodgers on divers back 30-35 feet took most fish.

    It seems only a few posters put reports up anymore. Most have bigger boats, so won't start posting until later in the season. Also the Indiana section hasn't seen a report since 2019. Michigan section is a little more active.

    I think you're right about that. Can't find an article to confirm it though!

    From what I can tell, Grand Haven had a decent run based on the 2021 plants. Saugatuck was good when the fish were in this year - but next year should be better. Hopefully will even have a few run the Holland channel next year too. -JDH

    Just replied to your other thread. Wound up 2-3. Got a 6 year old his "most biggest fish ever!". All hits on plugs.

    Thanks again for the report. We ended up 2-3 all on plugs. We were finding a lot of seaweed on our lines. Had to clear hooks each pass.

    Went 5/8 this am off the sliders. 85-100 fow. White plugs took 4 hits. Mix of copper, divers and riggers took hits. Pulled lines at 8:30. SSW troll 2.2-2.5 mph at the ball.

    Love having the two boats! I bought a 14 footer this year for small lakes. Has a 9.9 Honda and a bow mount iPilot... and oars!

    Maybe bump up to 25 lb leader. I run 40lb braid and 30 lb leader.

    Fished with dad from 6 am to 9:30. Started it out right with a 20lb-ish king while setting lines. Then trolled out from 100 fow into 150 fow no marks very little bait. Cold water down 95 feet. S/SW trolls. 200 copper fires with a white plug - gets away (maybe a 10 lb fish?). Turn in on an east troll and work toward 95 fow. Found a bubble of cold water in there so proceeded to troll north. Cold water down 75-80 feet. Hit a bigger king on the 400 copper and called it a morning. King - 110 fow mag diver back 85 feet with a pro king 8 inch flasher chrome and dolphin tape with a green fly. 2.2 mph/SSW. King/coho? - 135 fow on 200 copper with white plug King - 95 fow on 400 copper with moonshine halfmoon blue shorts.

    Slow for us too (2 in the boat). Went 2-3. What lb test are you running at the divers?
  15. jdh
    The bigger king and plug that it came on. Fish looks smaller in this picture that it was!
