Holland/Saugatuck 7/27 pm
jdh replied to jdh's topic in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout
Thought that was you a little north and inside of us. -
Went out this afternoon lines in the water around 5:30 pm. Started looking for fish around the sliders in 100-130 fow. And pretty much stayed in the all night trolling SSE, SSW - with SSE and S trolls picking up the most bites. What worked? Well pretty much everything. Ended the night at 10 pm. Went 12/18. Earlier on it was 350-400 coppers, and mag divers back 165. Then switched to 300-350 coppers, and mag divers back 135. Then downriggers 55-75 started hitting. Only thing that didn't get hit was the plug we put out on the 200 copper. I'd say we had 4 hits on meat rigs, 6 hits on flasher flies, and 8 hits on spoons (moonshines). Speed 2.0 to 3.0 mph at the ball.

They may have been shallow, or they may have been spread out. I marked bait everywhere, but not heavy schools of bait like a week ago. -

I know there are fish around. We just didn't set up on them last night. Talked to a few other boats that were in the 5-10 bites range. -

I bought a bicycle tire vice, and an spare 54" trolling motor pole to mount the transducer. When I'm fishing I slide the vice into an extra track and point the pole in "forward" mode towards the back of the boat. Then swivel it until the downriggers come into view. It helps a few ways - tells me fish are around and if they're swimming into the spread to check things out. It helps me figure out what copper lines to set up to match fish depth. Another thing I noticed is several days, the fish actually swim DOWN to attack the lures - seem them swim 30 feet down to attack. Also seen them swim 40 feet up to attack. So there's that too. I'll take some pictures of the setup next time I'm out. -
