    Heard of 2 South Haven reports today: One guy got 12 kings in 130-160fow. Another got 2 kings, a steelie n 5 lakers in 180-190 fow. No other details. We are still doing St Joe tomorrow and SoHa next week. Tomorrow we'll get to 75' and set lines with SW heading.

    Yep, charter captain last Monday, stopped catching at 19 lakers in 152fow.

    Only 1 for 4; lost 2 kings at the boat; Capt Dan needs to practice his netting skills. Lost a laker who hit the UV Skinny Minney spoon ( one with fish on it) as I was tripping the SB rigger to change the spoon; Capt John Gold Orange Crush took all 3 kings; 2 on same port rigger down 29' with 65' leads. SB rigger was originally 55' lead length but went to 65' after first king. Other king on port black dipsey on 2.5 out 100'. Started dipseys at 55 & 65' with mo hits; so after first fish went to 100' and 120'. Speed was 2.4-3.0. All fish caught in 60fow running in cleaner water next to very dirty water; the very dirty water was out to at least 59'; have never seen that before. Caught fish up hill and downhill. Pretty much straight out from the pierheads. Water temp was 44-45 degrees. Waves lazy 2-3s that later build up to choppier 2-3s/2-4s when we pulled lines at 1:45.

    Got final design from Kate; 6 stations on each table; each table has a grinder/disposal and two gfci receptacles hanging from the ceiling. And, like St Joe a descaler machine in tbe corner for pan fish.

    Yes, didn’t realize the fat belly until I put it on the cleaning table. Was in a hurry cleaning the fish and should have slowed down and cut open it’s stomach. It was a planted fish, aka adipose fin had neen clipped.

    Good job, 5/5 last year we got a 20lber in SoHa.
  9. dan agnello
    Here’s preliminary design; 4 stations on each table with disposal on each table; back table also has a 5th handicap accessable station. Basically same as St Joe except twice as many tables. St Joe was similar to Holland and SoHa is very similar.

    At the SoHa lake house again this weekend and see they just broke ground for the new fish cleaning station that should be done sometime in July; Again it will be a public cleaning station for paid to launch or non paid to launch people.

    South Haven buoy number 45168 has been deployed for this year and is reporting wind, waves, etc and lake temp from surface down almost to it's anchor. It also has a webcsm like most of the GLOS buoys do. Cooke buoy 45068 has not been deployed yet but I would expect it to be deployed in a week or so. You can find a summary of all the Great Lakes buoys at "glbuoys.glos.us. The spread sheet has a summary of conditions at each buoy and you click on it for full data. Also, you can get instant wind n gusts, air temlp. water temp (surface only) and wave height by texting 866 -218-9973. Just text the buoy number to the toll-free number and text response will be buoy conditiins. Wishing you a safe, fun 2019 boating/fishing season.

    Best depth of water to be over: 28-32 Most productive troll direction: SE Depth of hits: rigger 21' down 45' back; body baits down 15'. Rigger lead lengths: 45' both riggers Number of fishermen aboard: 3 Best lures & colors: orange; CJ GOC reg size spoon; gold hot n tot with black back yellow belly and red lip; our usual j9 jointed rapala with gold belly and white stripe on bottom. Surface temp: 45-46 degrees Down temp for hits (if known): Troll speed: 2.5 -3.0 Number and kind of fish caught: 1 22.13lb king and 4 coho jacks; 5 for 5. Started setting lines from pier heads south so that by time we have all 8 lines in we are at or past water treatment plant. Trolled in 18-20' past concrete wall; nothing; did SB turn trolling north right next to Dimitri Georges in his awesome C Dory, "Fresh Fish" boat and nothing there..Sea Eagle had just caught a nice brown in 19' so we made another pass south , but 32-28' on SE troll. Got all fish in there on high line back 60', 2 colors and 22lb king came on riigger down 21', 45' back also on J-9 jointed rapala but on medium light walleye rod; what a battle and fun. Beautiful day, sunny. lazy 2-3s most of the time out of the SE; started picking up around 12;30; small craft warning is predicted for tonight and tomorrow. Detroit River Wednesday in mate Andre's boat jigging for eyes.

    We found out last year in Erie west basin that walleye wanted a hot speed also. We ran same 2.4 to 2.9; 4 trips 66 ‘eyes’. Unheard of; walleye speed is always like 1.8 to 2.3 or so. Work speed. If you get a hit on starborad side while turning left (where SB lures will speed up) then you were trolling too slow. Likewise if port side goes off on that same turn you are trollong too fast, etc. The slogan for driving, “speed kills” works for fishing too.

    I was going to do South Haven because a Sunday report showed 2 man limit in 4 hours, but I was pretty sure the heavy Monday NNW wind would blow a lot of the warm water (that came up from weekend SW 70 degree winds) south. I guessed correctly; also Fishin Hole said they were in. Better get them in next few weeks or so before they move out to deeper water. When they school up real tight in shallows they are easier pickings like walleye. Most fish were caught between the brown house on the hill to the blue house just before the concrete wall. Don't be afraid to run a little hot like I said, 2.4-3sog. Capt Dan out

    Got 3 man limit in 4 hours: 8:30-12:30. 17 for 20; threw back one foul hooked and one on when we pulled lines. 18-20fow; 45-47 degree water; mile south of water plant to concrete wall; sog 2.4 to 2.8; uphill troll (north) and south caught same amount; threw back one foul hooked and one on when we pulled lines; partly coudy to sunny. Lazy SW 2-4s, to lazy 2-3s to build up chop 2-4s starting around 11:30. J-9 Orange jointed rapalla, CJ King regular size SUV Skinny Minnie and glo silver spoon with yellow and black ladder (yellow killer) back all took fish. Rapala on rigger down 10’ and on board out 60’; 2 2colors and lime green size “0” dipsey on 3 back 30’ took fish. No hits on CJ GOC or White lighting spoons. Cloudy to partly cloudy; SW lazy 2-4s to lazy 2-3s to around 11:30 2-4 choopy buildup.

    New to me; never heard of a fishing flag. Interesting to see details.
  22. dan agnello
    Saw on another board that one dock is in.
  23. dan agnello
    Thanks Very good. You always have to plan way ahead. Most guys know not to cross close behind you and to turn and run parallel to you or slowdown. Many times you run into boats that refuse to turn or avoid problems so you have to be proactive. In August n early September you run into boats that don’t even know what copper amd lead are so you have to be very vigilant and try yo be courteous and say please and thank you so they understand what needs to be done. Sometimes it’s hard to be nice. But, it works much better.

    Nope, Fished to past concrete wall n nothing. About dozen other boats by us with the skunk still in the boat. One guys boat had 12, fished from chalets to Cooke with only 2 at Cooke: guy at end of pier had 4; guy in middle got 1coho n 1 whitefish. That wfish surprised me. Nice day on the lake n fished next to the ice later because it was acting like a vertical thermocline and was holding in 40-42 degree river water. Some marks but no takers. Water temp south was fine 35-37, n that area usually holds fish: but not Tuesday. Will be out again in SJ week of 4/9 in my boat and jigging for eyes in Detroit River the week after in one of my mates’ boat.

    As we left city launch could see that DNR launch docks are in. City launch is free because indoor restrooms and fish cleaning are closed. Just a porta potty. Probably open by 4/15 like SoHa.
