  1. Tried the harbor. Was loaded with fish but they weren't much interested in biting. Warm water.
  2. It's been a great year for fishing solo. Going out in the morning again. Back to work tomorrow afternoon.
  3. Limited out. 7/7. Downrigger down 55 with silver streak bloody nose was hot. 3 coho. 2 kings. 1 steelhead. 1 lake trout. Mostly in West Platte Bay crossing the shallow water - 65-75 fow.
  4. Doubled up and got em in. 20 lb king, 8 lb steelhead. Downrigger down 55 with a bloody nose silver streak and a bright colored super slim on 150 copper.
  5. Working up a good tan. Haven’t found any fish interesting in what I’m dragging.
  6. Out solo in 600 fow now. Set lines about 2 hours ago. Marking a few in the 40-60 range. Seen some steelhead swimming around on the surface. No hits yet. Working my way north to Point Betsie - plan on working into West Platte Bay
  7. Based on fish stocks, Holland Saugatuck and South Haven would have the most returning kings this year.
  8. Have a great time on Isle Royale! Have to make it up there sometime.
  9. It's some sort of Pro King. Green scum line I think. I run bunch of the Pro King flashers.
  10. Fished solo straight out in 240+ fow. Found a scum line and temp break out there and chased in and out of it for about an hour. Managed to go 6/8 and limit out with 5 coho and a pink. Damage was done using 3 color, 5 color with spoons, and downrigger down 50 with a green flasher fly.
  11. Awesome work at the pier heads!
  12. They were about 15 inch fish. The two I brought home were mature fish. Eggs in one and milt sacs in the other.
  13. 2 quick hits on plugs. Both kings. Lost one right behind the boat. 6/7 overall today so far. Still at the point fishing 150 fow. Edit. Lost another king on a plug. Nothing over maybe 12 lbs today.
  14. Fishing the point now with another 100 boats. Seems pretty slow.
  15. Still on a NE. Hit a steelhead on a 250 copper. Flounder pounder RV. Small king on a diver back 155. Kevorkian spin doctor.
  16. Decided they were coho. Got another one. Different diver back 155.
  17. Coho. Diver back 155. Kevorkian spin doctor. Pink x 2? Downrigger at 61. Fish on main spoon and slider. Mag flounder pounder, green dolphin ss.
  18. Made the trek to Ludington today. Lots of reports of full coolers. But maybe for better fishermen than me. Ran north and out into 400 fow. Trolling NNE for now. "Coho" spread out with spoons and flashers and 1 plug. Will see what happens!
  19. Back in Lake Mac. Got a lake trout on a 400 copper. That's was all.
  20. In 185. Sun has set. No new bites. Been having marks all the way out from 80-140 down.
  21. Worked from 115 to 175 so far. Strong currents so it’s NWN troll for us. Lost 1 on a downrigger at 105 with a mag flounder pounder. Lost another one on big white paddle at 115 ft down.
  22. If the wind holds, I'm heading out tonight for a short trip. Planning on starting in 120 and fishing out on a WSW or WNW. Going to start with the following spread from port to starboard: 350 Copper - Plug Mag Diver back 230 - Meat Rig Downrigger at 90 - Mag Glow Spoon Downrigger at 115 - Big White Paddle / Fly Mag Diver back 190 - Spin Doctor / Fly 400 Copper - Meat Rig (I like to punish the crew!) Sounds like a good spread in theory!
  23. Welcome. Where do you mainly fish?
  24. Ended up 1-10. Lost a giant steelhead on a plug on a diver. Picked up the speed for that bite. Was running 4.0 at the ball.
  25. No bites for past hour. Still toughing it out to try and get one nice one. Got 3 meat rigs within 20 feet of bottom in 110 fow.
