The docks were in on Wednesday when I went out.

I fished from about halfway to Saugatuck up to Holland and couldn't buy a bite. Hopefully things will pick up if the water drops a few more degrees. Reading about 52 near shore warming up to 54 or so in 40 fow.

I might try to get the boat out one last time this week with the east wind coming up. I'll be fishing out of Holland.

I will be running up to 6 lines. Thinking 2 Jointed Raps & the rest spoons.

Any advice on depth of water to start out in?

Should I head towards Port Sheldon, or head towards Saugatuck?

Any tips?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I managed to find some replacements. I got 2 of them now.

I'm hoping to get back out tomorrow depending on the wind.

Went solo. Ended up 1-4. Fished 80-120 fow. All hits within from 90-100 fow.

1-2 (3 lb king) - Rigger down 75, Mag Moonshine Super Shadow RV

0-1 (10-15 lb king) - Mag Dipsey on 1 out 150 ft, SD Chrome with green holo/glow tape & Glow Poofster Fly

I missed my chance at netting him and the fish swam under the boat and cut me off!

0-1 - 300 30lb Cu, Silver streek Wht George Double Glow Mag

Had each of my rods fire so that was nice. I don't mind loosing fish but I want that flasher-fly combo back! It's gotten me a fish every trip!

Launching around 5 pm @ the state park launch. Will pull lines around 8 or 8:30.

This is an open bow boat so there may be some spray.

I have 1 downrigger, 2 dipseys and several core/copper rods & boards.

PM me or Text 616-706-4061 if interested.

Was out last night and found a ton of marks in 125-135 fow all below 90 feet. Went 1-2. Missing a hit on a BLL Kato on the rigger down 125.

Picked up a 5 lb king on a Chrome/Glow SD with a white fly. Magnum dipsey out 255.

The bait I've been pulling out of fish has been large - a 7-inch alewife and a 7-inch smelt pulled out of the fish last night.

I'm hoping the waves stay down for Saturday AM.
